Class recordings
Draft for review by a lawyer. Last updated 13 November 2026.
What is recorded
Online classes and parent-teacher meetings are recorded: each person's audio, the whiteboard, the class chat and, when a video call is used, video. A red "This class is recorded" label shows during every recording.
Why
- So students can revise from their classes.
- To keep students and teachers safe, and to check teaching quality.
- To settle questions about what happened in a class.
Who can watch
The student and guardian (after the teacher releases the recording), the class teacher, the student's coordinators and the super admin. Parent-teacher meeting recordings are for staff only. Every viewing is logged. Recordings cannot be downloaded from the platform.
The nightly safety check
An automatic check reads the speech in recordings, looking only for phone numbers, emails and social accounts, so they can be removed and the matter handled. Nothing else is done with what it reads.
How long
Demo class recordings: 3 months. Video: 6 months. Audio: 2 years. They are then deleted automatically. Older recordings are kept in our Google Drive storage until then.
Consent
A guardian gives consent for their child before the first class, in the portal. A guardian can withdraw consent by telling their coordinator; because online classes are always recorded, we will then offer onsite classes or end the service.
