For Classroom Use

If you are a Teacher or School Administrator using Taut in the classroom, anywhere in the world, our extended COPPA-compliant student privacy policy applies to you and your students. Read it here !

Personal information stored

In order to create a unique account, Taut does require that all users enter their name, surname, email address and create a password, or use Google Single-sign-on, which is stored on the site, and may collect additional information such as name of organization, and whether they are a school administrator, teacher, student, or a parent, in order to assign the user to the correct user group. Documents may be uploaded to Taut by users in order to share them with other users for collaborative processing. We will not require a user to provide more information than is reasonably necessary to provide the service to the user, and we use this personal data for no other purpose than providing the service to the user.

None of this information is used to display advertising. The Service does not display advertising whatsoever.

We collect and use the following information to provide, improve and protect our Services:

Your devices (depending on their settings) may also transmit location information to the Services.

Access to your information is given only as discussed below, but we won’t give or sell it to advertisers or other third-parties.

• Others working for Taut – Taut uses certain trusted third party services to help us provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services. These third parties will access your information only to perform tasks on our behalf and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. They are listed below.

• Stewardship of your data is critical to us and a responsibility that we embrace. We believe that our users’ data should receive the same legal protections regardless of whether it’s stored on our services or on their home computer’s hard drive.
