Ripa Elevate ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users, particularly the children who use our assessment platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.
Account information: When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and password. Passwords are encrypted and never stored in plain text.
Child information: To create an assessment profile, we collect your child's first name, grade level, and whether they have an IEP. We do not collect your child's full name, date of birth, school name, or Social Security number.
Assessment data: When your child takes an assessment, we record their answers, time spent, difficulty level, and use of support tools (hints, listen, steps). This data is used solely to generate their assessment report.
Payment information: Payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers, bank account details, or other financial information on our servers. Stripe's privacy policy governs the handling of your payment data.
We use Supabase for our database, which provides enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit, row-level security policies, and secure authentication. Access to child data is restricted to the parent who created the account. Admin access is limited to platform founders for support purposes only.
Ripa Elevate is designed for use by parents on behalf of their children. Children do not create accounts. A parent or legal guardian must create an account and initiate all assessments. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or your child's assessment data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share data only in the following circumstances:
We retain your account and assessment data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription, your data remains accessible in read-only mode. You may request complete deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us at the email below.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information and your child's assessment data at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through a notice on our platform. Your continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our contact page.
Ripa Elevate is designed for use by parents and guardians. The platform is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Assessment data about a child is provided by and attributed to the parent or guardian account holder, not the child. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without consent, please contact us at michelle@ripaelevate.com and we will delete it promptly.
Ripa Elevate is an independent platform used by parents, not school districts or educational institutions. Assessment data generated through Ripa Elevate is not an educational record under FERPA. Parents own and control all data generated through their account. If you share your Ripa Elevate report with a school team, that sharing is at your discretion and is not governed by FERPA.
Ripa Elevate uses cookies and similar technologies for authentication (to keep you logged in), analytics (Google Analytics 4), and payment processing (Stripe). We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to advertisers. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features — including login — require cookies to function. Google Analytics data is anonymized and used only to understand how parents use the platform so we can improve it.
We use the following third-party services: Supabase (database and authentication), Stripe (payment processing), Resend (email delivery), Google Analytics 4 (usage analytics), and Anthropic (AI-generated report content). Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We do not sell your data to any third party.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to: know what personal information we collect and how we use it; request deletion of your personal information; opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell personal information); and non-discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise these rights, email michelle@ripaelevate.com.
You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing michelle@ripaelevate.com with the subject line "Delete My Account." We will delete your account, profile, children's profiles, and all assessment data within 30 days. Stripe payment records are retained as required by financial regulations.
