Privacy at a glance

No student academic records

Platform scope is intentionally defined to avoid collecting student academic or behavioral records.

Purpose-limited collection

We collect only what is required for account management, billing, support, and site operations.

No data sale model

Community data is not sold to third-party advertisers or data brokers.

Structured retention controls

Data retention windows are bounded by operational need and policy obligations.

Export and deletion pathways

Organizations can request exports and deletion according to policy and operational constraints.

Auditable administration

Administrative actions that affect privacy-sensitive resources are logged for accountability.

Data we collect

We collect categories of data needed to operate the service and support PTA communication workflows.

Account and access data

Name, email, role assignments, session metadata, and access-control state.

Organization profile data

Tenant profile details, administrative contact channels, and approved organization metadata.

Billing and transaction data

Subscription state, billing events, invoice references, and payment verification metadata.

Support and operations data

Support thread content, request context, and diagnostic metadata needed to resolve issues.

How data is used

Data is processed for service delivery, support quality, security, billing, and legal compliance needs.

  • Deliver core platform features and authenticated user experiences.
  • Process and reconcile billing, subscriptions, and payment verification workflows.
  • Provide support responses, diagnostic triage, and issue resolution.
  • Enforce role-based controls, session safety, and platform abuse prevention.
  • Generate operational logs and compliance evidence where policy requires.
What this means for your board: platform data use is tied to operating your service, not ad targeting or third-party resale.

Retention and deletion lifecycle

Retention periods are scoped to business and compliance requirements, with deletion pathways for inactive or obsolete records.

Active service period: data needed for ongoing operations is retained while your organization actively uses PTA.AI.
Post-cancellation window: export and recovery windows may apply before permanent deletion operations are completed.
Draft and stale records: inactive draft resources may be cleaned based on retention policy settings.
Legal retention exceptions: some records may be retained when required for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention obligations.

Rights and privacy requests

Authorized organization representatives can request access, correction, export, or deletion handling for supported data categories.

Access and correction

Request a review of stored organization data and correct outdated administrative information.

Export and portability

Request an export package for operational transition, archiving, or migration planning.

Deletion requests

Request deletion workflows for eligible data, subject to retention and regulatory constraints.

Response timeline

Privacy inquiries are acknowledged promptly and resolved according to request complexity and verification requirements.
