The Student Privacy Pledge

 

Student privacy is everyone’s concern.  VoiceThread is proud to support the effort to safeguard student data by signing The Student Privacy Pledge. We have believed strongly in these protections ever since VoiceThread was founded almost 10 years ago.  Ed.VoiceThread, our dedicated K-12 community, was developed on those very principles.

This New York Times article makes clear the dangers of not understanding terms of use and the business models of your EdTech services.  We have never engaged in data mining and reselling.  Our business model has been transparent since the moment we launched in December 2005. We offer premium services to generate revenue. That’s it.  Our goal is long term and sustainable: to be a trusted partner to educators and administrators around the world.
