What Resso.ai is (education context)

Resso.ai provides structured practice and feedback experiences for student communication, interview readiness, and career skill development. Institutions can deploy board-wide, school-wide, class-based, or pilot subscriptions, with flexible term lengths.

Core privacy commitments (K–12-ready)

• No selling or renting of personal information

• No targeted advertising and no ad-tech in the Education application

• No tracking outside the app (no browsing history, search history, social media tracking)

• No GPS collection

• No email marketing to students

• Canada-first hosting by default for Ontario Institutions: Microsoft Azure Canada regions

• No model training on Institution data by default (opt-in only via written agreement, if ever enabled)

Data categories we may process (Education)

Depending on deployment configuration and features enabled:

• Account/access: name/email/role (or pseudonymous identifiers for pilots), authentication metadata

• In-app content: student/educator content uploaded or created in the app (e.g., practice responses, resumes)

• In-app usage: progress/completion and feature usage events necessary to operate the service

• Security/diagnostics: logs, device/browser info, IP for security and abuse prevention

We do not embed marketing analytics in the Education application.

Data ownership & IP

• Students and educators retain ownership/copyright of their content.

• Resso.ai uses content only to provide the service and support the Institution’s use.

Subprocessors and third parties

• We use a small set of vetted subprocessors for hosting, authentication, monitoring, and support.

• Subprocessors are bound by contract to maintain safeguards equivalent to or stronger than ours.

• We provide a Subprocessor List (public page and/or on request) and advance notice of material changes per agreement. (please refer to our Resso.ai Education Subprocessor List)

Security controls

• Encryption in transit and at rest

• Role-based access controls and least privilege

• Administrative access protected with MFA (optional)

• Audit logging for administrative actions and security monitoring

• Vulnerability management (patching, dependency updates, security review practices)

• Backups and disaster recovery to support availability and resilience

Incident response & breach notification

• We maintain an incident response process for containment, investigation, remediation, and communication.

• If a confirmed incident involves Institution data, we notify the Institution without undue delay and according to any agreed contractual timeframe, and provide details needed to support the Institution’s legal/policy obligations.

Retention & deletion

• We retain data only as needed to provide the service and meet contractual/legal requirements.

• On termination, Institutions may request export (where available; manual export support can be provided).

• Data is deleted within an agreed timeframe after termination, and backups are purged on a rolling basis thereafter.

Governance and contracting

• Resso.ai supports institutional contracting at the board, school, or class level.
