Quality and Safety — Zoom recordings are reviewed by employees and certain volunteer teams (Peer Review, Mentor/Coach, Safety, etc.) to ensure tutoring standards and safety on the platform. After 30 days, these Zoom recordings are automatically deleted.

Tutor Feedback — Transcripts of these Zoom sessions and the associated chat logs are also kept and shared with the specific tutor to provide them feedback on their tutoring session. For instance, we automatically track how much time the tutor talks vs. the learners talk, and we share these insights with the tutor so that they can improve going forward. These transcripts and chat logs may also be accessed by employees reviewing overall session quality on the platform. After 3 years, these transcripts and chat logs are deleted.

Sessions with External Partners — Occasionally, informational sessions with external partners, such as college webinars, may be shared with session attendees and/or everyone who registered for the session. You will always be informed in advance, giving you the option to leave the session or turn off your camera if you prefer not to be included in the recording.

(When Applicable) Research — In certain parts of the platform where we are conducting a research study (namely, in the SAT Bootcamps and middle school partnerships), audio recordings, de-identified transcripts, and de-identified chat logs from the Zoom tutoring sessions are securely shared with researchers that Schoolhouse has collaborated with to study peer tutoring. More details are provided to users in these research contexts, and users have the ability to opt out of this data sharing for research purposes.
