FERPA Compliance & Data Privacy

This statement details how ProvenanceAI protects student educational records in compliance with FERPA.

Our Commitment

"ProvenanceAI was built on a core belief: AI doesn't replace learning—it reshapes it. That same principle guides our approach to student privacy. We believe transparency isn't optional; it's foundational."

1. Statement of Compliance

ProvenanceAI is designed to be fully compliant with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99). We act as a "School Official" with a legitimate educational interest when processing student data on behalf of educational institutions.

2. Data Collection & Purpose

We collect and process student educational records solely for the purpose of:

  • Tracking the provenance of academic work to ensure integrity.
  • Providing formative assessment and feedback via AI analysis.
  • Verifying the authenticity of student submissions.

3. AI Analysis & Privacy

ProvenanceAI utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze student work. To protect student privacy:

  • Anonymization: Wherever possible, personally identifiable information (PII) is removed or tokenized before being sent to third-party AI models.
  • No Training on Student Data: Our agreements with AI providers (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) mandate that student submissions sent via API are not used to train their public models. Student work stays private.
  • Data Retention: Student data is retained only for the duration of the academic term or as required by the institution's data retention policy.

4. Student Rights via Institution

Under FERPA, students have the right to inspect and review their education records. ProvenanceAI provides features for institutions to:

  • Export complete provenance logs for a student.
  • Correct invalid records upon verified request.
  • Delete student data upon graduation or withdrawal, in accordance with institutional policy.
