Privacy & data
Student data is the starting point.
Most AI grading today happens by pasting student work, names and all, into public chatbots. Treemarks exists partly to end that. Here’s how we handle data, in plain English.
Anonymized before grading
Identifying details (names, emails, student IDs) are removed from student work before any model sees it. Grading happens on de-identified content.
Your data stays yours
Course data is used only to grade your course. It is never used to train anyone else’s models, and it is never sold or shared.
Designed for FERPA
Student work is FERPA-protected, and Treemarks is built around that from the start. We’re glad to complete your institution’s security review and sign your data-processing agreement (DPA).
You stay in control
Nothing publishes to students without your approval, and every grade is reviewable. You decide what Treemarks touches and when.
