Privacy Policy — uThrive Academy LLC

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Last Updated: June 2026

uThrive Academy LLC ("uThrive," "we," "our," or "us") is deeply committed to protecting the privacy and security of educators, administrators, and students who use our website (www.uthrive.academy) and our digital curriculum platform (including integration via LTI 1.3 and single sign-on tools). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, safeguard, and disclose information when you interact with our services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide institutional-grade, TEKS-compliant personal financial literacy curriculum and to ensure a seamless technical experience for school districts and educators.

  • Institutional & Educator Information: When school administrators or teachers request a demo, execute a Software License Agreement, or register for an account, we collect professional contact details such as name, school district, school email address, title, and billing/remittance information.

  • Student Data & Educational Records: Through our secure learning management system integrations (such as LTI 1.3 connections with Canvas or Schoology) and Single Sign-On providers (such as Google Classroom, ClassLink, or Clever), we may process limited student user data—such as display names, school-assigned user IDs, and course completion telemetry—solely as directed by the educational institution.

  • Website Usage & Analytics: When you browse uthrive.academy, we automatically collect standard technical data, including IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and page navigation paths, via cookies and standard analytics tools to optimize our website performance.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for explicit, limited educational and operational purposes:

  • To deliver, maintain, and support our digital course modules ("Getting Ahead: A Roadmap to Career Clarity & Financial Freedom").

  • To facilitate secure authentication, rostering, and grade-passback through district-approved LMS and SSO platforms.

  • To process district software licenses, purchase orders, invoices, and customer success communications.

  • To respond to educator inquiries, provide professional development resources, and ensure operational continuity.

3. FERPA & Student Data Protection

uThrive Academy LLC acknowledges its role as a "school official" with legitimate educational interests when processing student data on behalf of partner school districts.

  • No Commercial Use: We never sell, rent, lease, or trade student personal information.

  • No Targeted Advertising: Student data is never used to build commercial profiles or serve targeted behavioral advertising.

  • Data Ownership: All educational records and student data remain the sole property of the respective school district.

4. Data Security

We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes encrypted data transmission using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS), secure cloud storage hosting, and role-based access restrictions across our organizational tooling.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain institutional and account data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in our Software License Agreements, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Upon termination of a district agreement, student data is securely archived or deleted in accordance with district instructions and statutory requirements.

6. Your Rights & Choices

  • Account Settings: Educators and administrators may update their profile information by contacting support.

  • Institutional Inquiries: Requests regarding student data access, correction, or deletion under FERPA or state guidelines should be routed through your school district's administrative or IT department, which will coordinate directly with our customer success team.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operational practices, platform capabilities, or legal requirements. When updates are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage districts and users to review this page periodically.
