What we do — and never do — with student work

Grading means handing a tool photographs of children’s work, often with their names across the top. That deserves a plain answer about what happens to it, not a link to a policy nobody reads. Here is what SuperGrader does with student work, and the lines it does not cross.

Where the images go

To grade a paper, its image is sent to the AI providers that read handwriting — a third-party AI gateway and the models it routes to — because reading the page is the core of how the product works. That is the one place student work leaves our servers, and it is in service of the grade you asked for, nothing else. It is never sold, and it is never used for advertising.

What is kept, and what is encrypted

Your assessments, blueprints, grades and the page images are stored so you can reopen a class and grade a late paper the same way as the rest. Student names are encrypted at rest. You own everything you upload, and deleting your account removes it all — images, grades, folders, logs — rather than just hiding it.

What never happens: training on your class

Student work and your corrections are never used to train any model. When you fix a grade, that correction is yours; it improves that student’s result and nothing else. There is no quiet feedback loop turning your classroom into someone’s dataset.

Written down where your district can read it

None of this is a verbal promise. The specifics — providers, retention, FERPA, AI transparency — are published pages you can forward to an administrator before you upload a single paper. If a detail here matters to your school, it is in writing and linked from the site.
