4. JONESY AND AI-SUPPORTED FEATURES
TSH Anywhere may include artificial-intelligence-supported tools, including the TSH Anywhere teaching companion known as "Jonesy."
These tools are intended to assist the adult responsible for the Learner's education. They may help organize lessons, observations, schedules, assessments, curriculum information and suggested educational next steps.
Information entered into an AI-supported feature may be processed in order to provide the requested feature or response.
TSH Anywhere may use third-party technology providers to support these functions. When service providers process personal information on our behalf, we seek to limit their use of that information to providing or supporting the TSH Anywhere service and other purposes permitted by our agreements with them and applicable law.
Parents and educators should avoid entering unnecessary sensitive information into AI-supported features.
AI-generated recommendations are intended to assist parents and educators and are not a substitute for the judgment of a parent, guardian, qualified educator, health professional or other appropriate professional.
5. CHILDREN AND LEARNER PRIVACY
Protecting children and preserving childhood are central principles of The School House and TSH Anywhere.
The TSH Anywhere online platform is intended primarily for adults, including parents, guardians, educators, school leaders and other individuals responsible for children's education.
Children should not independently create TSH Anywhere accounts or submit personal information to TSH Anywhere unless the feature has been specifically designed for their use and all required parental or guardian permissions have been obtained.
Parents, guardians and educators may provide limited information about Learners when necessary to use curriculum-planning, progress-tracking, assessment, portfolio or related educational features.
-
We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary to provide these services.
-
We do not sell Learner personal information for monetary consideration.
-
We do not use Learner personal information to target advertising directly to children.
Where applicable law requires parental consent before particular information may be collected, used or disclosed, TSH Anywhere will seek the required consent before engaging in that activity.
A parent or guardian may contact us to request access to personal information maintained about their child, request correction or deletion of that information, or request that we stop collecting or using the child's information, subject to legal and operational requirements.
TSH Anywhere endeavors to handle children's information in accordance with applicable children's privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and applicable state privacy laws.
6. SCHOOL AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS
TSH Anywhere may also provide curriculum or related services to schools, districts, microschools, co-ops and other educational organizations.
When TSH Anywhere processes student information on behalf of a school or educational institution, additional contractual terms or privacy requirements may apply.
Where applicable, student information provided through a school or educational institution will be used only for authorized educational purposes and in accordance with applicable agreements and law.
Certain student information may also be subject to education-specific privacy requirements, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act where applicable.
When an educational institution has entered into a separate agreement with TSH Anywhere concerning student data, that agreement may provide additional protections or requirements.

13. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain legitimate organizational records, satisfy legal requirements, resolve disputes, protect our organization and users, and fulfill the purpose for which the information was collected.
We seek to minimize the retention of Learner information and do not retain children's personal information indefinitely merely because it may be useful in the future.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, de-identify or securely dispose of it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.
