If the terms of this Agreement are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to such terms.
If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, you have no right to use Scribo websites or services. For clarity, third-party software may be available via Scribo websites or services (“third-party software”, for example via integration to Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom). Such third-party software is being provided by a third-party and not by Scribo, and Scribo has no responsibility. In addition to the terms of this Agreement with respect to third-party software, your use of such third-party software will be governed by the terms of any Agreement between you and such third-party.
Acceptable Use of the Service
Your use of Scribo is limited to internal, non-commercial, educational purposes. You must not use the service to engage in illegal, abusive, infringing, or fraudulent activity, attempt to gain unauthorised access to accounts or data, harvest credentials, crawl or scrape the service, or reverse engineer the software. These obligations sit alongside the other restrictions and warranties set out in this Agreement.
Acceptable Use for Students

When using Scribo, students agree to:
- Be kind and respectful. Do not write anything rude, mean, embarrassing, or harmful. Your teacher can see your work at all times.
- Protect your login. Keep your login and passwords private and do not share them or use someone else’s account.
- Keep work appropriate. Upload only your own work, and do not copy from others or from AI.
- Stay safe with personal information. Do not include private details, such as your home address, phone number or emails in your assignments.

Scribo collects limited personal information from minor students, but only where that student's parent/guardian, school, district, and/or teacher has contracted with Scribo to collect personal information from students for the use and benefit of the learning environment. Where required under applicable law, parental or guardian consent is obtained and managed by the school or relevant education authority through their established enrolment and consent processes, which Scribo accepts as valid authorisation for student use.
If you are a student, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us, other than what we request from you when you sign up for the services. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a student without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student has provided us personal information beyond what we request when he or she signs up for the website, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
If you believe that a student may have provided us personal information beyond what is requested when signing up for the website, or that a student's school, district, or teacher has not required parental consent prior to our collection of any personal information, please contact us using the contact at "18. Contact" below.

Data Security and Access
Data security and privacy are important to us, and we take all steps necessary to protect your personal information. Although no security or encryption method can be guaranteed to protect information from hackers or human error, we take all reasonable steps to secure your personally identifiable information against unauthorised access or disclosure.
Data is stored on servers provisioned in Amazon’s world class, highly secure data centers which utilize state-of-the art electronic surveillance and multi-factor access control systems. Data centers are staffed 24x7 by trained security guards, Environmental systems are designed to minimize the impact of disruptions to operations. Multiple geographic regions and Availability Zones allow Scribo to remain resilient in the face of most failure modes, including natural disasters or system failures.
All data in transit (inbound and outbound traffic) is symmetrically encrypted (AES-256). Data is also encrypted at rest.
Scribo employees have very limited access to content on our servers. Access is authorized strictly on a least privileged basis using secured connections. Where we need to access your data to provide you with support, we will obtain express permission to do so.
Accessibility Options for Disabled Students
We are committed to ensuring that all students have access to our educational services. To enhance accessibility, we provide accessibility toolbars ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1 and ADA standards.
Accessibility Features: Our toolbars offer various features to assist disabled students, including text-to-speech, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and more.
Compliance: Our accessibility solutions are designed to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Disclosing Your Information
We never disclose your personal information to any other party other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy and where we are legally required by law to disclose your personal information.
Scribo will never sell any user’s personal information to any third party. We do not display advertising, therefore, no data is collected for ad targeting. We do not operate any referral program and do not display any sponsored links.
GDPR and Transfer of Personal Data
Scribo recognize the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a cornerstone of data protection and is committed to safeguarding the personal data of all users. We ensure that:
- Personal data is processed fairly, lawfully, and transparently.
- Personal data is collected and processed only for specified and lawful purposes.
- Processed data is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary.
- Processed data is accurate and kept up to date as necessary.
- Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for its intended purpose.
- Personal data is processed in accordance with individual rights under GDPR.
- Personal data is protected with robust technical and organizational security measures.
Transfer of Your Data Outside the EU
To provide our services, we may transfer or store data outside the EU, including in secure Amazon data centers located in Sydney, Australia. In addition, we use third-party providers, including Google and Microsoft, to facilitate key functionalities such as Single Sign-On (SSO) for user authentication. These providers process limited user data during authentication (e.g., credentials) and return verification data to us to confirm access rights.
Neither Australia nor the USA has been granted adequacy status by the EU. To ensure GDPR compliance and protect your data during transfers outside the EU, Scribo has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission. These SCCs include:
Processor to Controller SCCs: Governing data transfers between Scribo (Processor) and EU-based schools (Controllers) when processing student data.
Controller to Processor SCCs: Governing data transfers between Scribo (Controller) and third-party processors such as Google and Microsoft, for operations such as SSO.
Controller to Controller SCCs: Governing data exchanges where both Scribo and third-party providers act as independent Controllers.
You can review our GDPR Data Processing Addendum, which includes links to the SCCs, here.
Third-Party Data Transfers
Google: Google’s SCCs are integrated into their Data Processing Addendum (DPA), which governs the processing of personal data through Google Workspace and related services. For more information on Google’s compliance measures, please visit Google’s Data Processing Addendum.
Microsoft: Microsoft incorporates SCCs within their DPA, ensuring GDPR compliance for services like Microsoft 365 and Azure. More information about Microsoft’s data protection measures is available here.
Your Rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability and to object to the processing of your data. For any requests or questions regarding your data, please contact team@scribolearning.com.
Third-Party Subprocessors and AI Processing Controls
Scribo engages a small number of carefully selected third-party service providers (“subprocessors”) to support the delivery, security, and reliability of our products. These subprocessors may process limited personal data on our behalf, strictly for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. All subprocessors are bound by written data protection agreements that include confidentiality and security. We review all subprocessors for security and privacy compliance and maintain least-privileged access controls.
Data Minimization
Where possible, we remove, anonymise or pseudonymise personally identifiable data before processing. This ensures that personal data remains protected and compliant with GDPR standards.
Current Subprocessors
Only third parties that process identifiable personal data on behalf of Scribo are included. Services that receive only completely anonymised data, or services used solely at the direction of the school that push data to us (such as SSO or school roster data), are not classified as subprocessors.

Use of Data
Scribo does not use personal data or content to train machine learning or artificial intelligence models. Data is used solely for the purpose of delivering the Scribo service to schools, including providing feedback, grading, reporting, and ensuring the reliability, security, and correct functioning of the platform. Any analysis undertaken to maintain or improve the service is limited to aggregated and de-identified operational data, such as system performance metrics and error logs, and does not involve the reuse of data for secondary purposes. Scribo does not use data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose outside the scope of service delivery and contractual obligations to schools.
AI Processing and Anonymisation Controls
Scribo uses large language models (LLMs) to power certain optional AI features such as writing feedback, scoring, and chat assistance. These features are controlled by each school and can be enabled or disabled at any time.
We never send personally identifiable information (PII) to any LLM provider. All AI processing uses secure, API-based models that do not use customer data for training, retention, or model improvement. Before any request leaves our environment, Scribo automatically removes or replaces names, emails, class identifiers, school identifiers, and any other information that could reasonably identify a student or teacher. Only the minimum anonymised text required to complete the task is sent, and all transmissions occur over encrypted TLS connections.
All matching back to user records happens exclusively within Scribo’s own access-controlled systems. Model responses never contain raw PII, and no third-party AI provider receives or stores identifiable personal information. We verify these protections through audit logs, automated tests, periodic manual reviews, and strict change-control processes. If AI features are disabled, no data is sent to LLM providers. When a school’s contract ends, all associated AI-related logs and outputs are deleted according to our data-retention and deletion policy.
New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 Compliance
We comply with the requirements of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, including the Information Privacy Principles (IPP 1 – 13) governing the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information.
