    Replit Student Privacy Notice

    This Student Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how Replit handles the information we collect about individuals under the age of 18 that are using Replit’s educational products and services (“Educational Services”) under an agreement between Replit and a school, school district, or other educational institution.

    We refer to the individuals under the age 18 using the Educational Services as “Student Users,” and we refer collectively to the educational institutions as “Educational Institution Customers.” As used in this Notice, “Student User Personal Information” is personally identifiable information linked directly or indirectly to a Student User, as well as other information when it is both collected and maintained on an individual level and is linked to personally identifiable information. This Notice supplements our general Privacy Policy. In the event of a conflict between the Privacy Policy and this Notice, this Notice governs.

    Please note that when Replit enters into agreements with Educational Institution Customers, Replit includes its U.S. Student Data Protection Addendum, pursuant to which Replit agrees to process Student User data in accordance with applicable U.S. federal and state student privacy laws (i.e., FERPA). To the extent there is any conflict between such contracts and the terms of this K-12 Privacy Statement, the terms of our contracts with Educational Institution Customers will control.

    Replit is a signatory to the K-12 Student Privacy Pledge (“Student Privacy Pledge”) with respect to its Educational Services. Click here to learn more about the Student Privacy Pledge.

As examples, Replit conducts annual reviews of our security program and security policies, and requires employees to participate in annual security training. Replit also conducts third-party security and vulnerability testing on a periodic basis.
