Why does Knowt want to protect your students' privacy for free, and how are we doing it?
Help with student data privacy agreements.
Districts around the U.S. are asking vendors (like Knowt) to sign data privacy agreements to protect students’ privacy. If you’re a teacher and need your admin to sign an agreement, follow this link. If you’re an admin and don’t have a data privacy agreement, click here.
After Knowt signs your district’s agreement for free, you get these 4 important benefits:
Removal of Targeted Ads
Knowt will remove all targeted ads from your students’ accounts.
Disabled Public Profiles
Students will not have discoverable profiles.
Shared Files Turned Off
Students can’t send links to strangers.
Students Cannot Purchase Subscriptions
Purchasing will be disabled for individuals (besides teachers).
My school district doesn’t have a data privacy agreement
If your district doesn’t have a data privacy agreement, no need to worry, we will still enable the same benefits. All you have to do is complete the admin onboarding after your teacher invites you to Knowt! If a teacher hasn’t invited you and you’d like these benefits, fill out this contact form or schedule a meeting with our CEO and we’ll enable them for you!
