FolioBridge Web App Privacy Policy 

Last updated May 13, 2026 

Stark Educational Solutions, LLC, DBA FolioBridge (“Company” or “We”), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use the FolioBridge web application and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. 

1. Scope and Applicability 

This policy applies to information we collect through the FolioBridge web application, on websites or pages that host or describe FolioBridge, and in email, text, and other electronic communications relating to FolioBridge. 

This policy applies to information we collect directly through FolioBridge and to information provided by schools, districts, employers, administrators, and other organizations using FolioBridge on behalf of their personnel. 

When a school, district, employer, or other organization has a separate written agreement, student data privacy agreement, data processing addendum, or similar contract with us, that agreement may contain additional privacy, security, retention, deletion, or data-use terms. If there is a conflict between this policy and that agreement, the agreement controls for the information covered by that agreement. 

This policy does not apply to information collected offline or through any other means not directly associated with FolioBridge, or to third-party websites, applications, content, or services, including those provided by Google, Microsoft, school systems, district systems, or other third parties that may link to or be accessible from FolioBridge. 

2. Children Under the Age of 16 

FolioBridge is intended for professional, educational, administrative, and organizational use. It is not intended for direct use by children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 16 except as permitted by applicable law and under the direction of a school, district, parent, guardian, employer, or other authorized organization. 

To the extent FolioBridge processes information about students or minors, we do so for educational, administrative, portfolio, credentialing, workflow, support, security, or organization-authorized purposes. We do not knowingly use student personal information for targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, or unrelated commercial profiling, and we do not sell student personal information. 

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in a manner that violates applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information or handle it as directed by the applicable school, district, parent, guardian, or other authorized organization. 

3. Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It 

We may collect several types of information from and about users of FolioBridge, including: 

• Information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, email address, username, phone number, organization, role, profile details, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline. 

• Professional, educational, credentialing, or portfolio information, such as resumes, certifications, licensure details, education records, uploaded documents, work samples, goals, tasks, messages, calendar content, file references, workflow submissions, and related records. 

• Student or school-related information that authorized users, schools, districts, or organizations choose to submit, such as student work samples, records connected to educational workflows, school or district identifiers, group assignments, and related notes or files. 

• Information about your internet connection, device, browser, IP address, access times, usage details, logs, and diagnostic information. 

• Information we receive from schools, districts, employers, administrators, integration providers, and other third parties in connection with the operation of FolioBridge.

• Information necessary to process account, support, administrative, workflow, or service-related interactions, whether provided to us directly or to our third-party service providers. 

You also may provide information to be displayed, transmitted, assigned, reviewed, or shared with other authorized users, administrators, organizations, schools, districts, or third parties through FolioBridge. Although we implement reasonable security measures, we cannot guarantee that materials you choose to share within FolioBridge will never be accessed beyond your intended audience if such access is permitted by your organization’s settings, administrator permissions, or applicable law. 

5. Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies 

As you navigate through and interact with FolioBridge, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

8. Google Data 

If a user chooses to connect a Google account to FolioBridge, FolioBridge may access Google user data authorized by that user, depending on the enabled features. 

• For Google sign-in, FolioBridge may access basic account information such as the user’s name, email address, and profile identifier for authentication and account linking. 

• For Google Calendar features, FolioBridge may access calendar information and calendar events to display, create, update, or synchronize events requested by the user or organization. 

• For Google Drive features, FolioBridge may access file metadata and Google Drive files that the user explicitly selects, authorizes, or otherwise makes available to FolioBridge through the granted permissions. 

FolioBridge uses Google user data only to provide and support the Google-connected functionality requested by the user or enabled by the organization. We may store connection metadata, access or refresh tokens, synchronization metadata, selected file references, and related records as needed to maintain the integration, support the user experience, troubleshoot issues, enforce security, and satisfy legal or contractual obligations. 

FolioBridge’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, do not sell Google user data, and do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models. 

We do not permit humans to read Google user data except where necessary to provide or secure FolioBridge, comply with law, investigate abuse, support the user or organization with appropriate authorization, or with the user’s affirmative consent for a specific purpose. 

Users may revoke FolioBridge’s access to their Google account through their Google account permissions or by disconnecting the integration in FolioBridge where that option is available. 

9. Microsoft Data 

If a user chooses to connect a Microsoft account to FolioBridge, FolioBridge may access Microsoft user data authorized by that user or organization, depending on the enabled features. 

• For Microsoft sign-in, FolioBridge may access basic account information such as the user’s name, email address, tenant information, and profile identifier for authentication and account linking. 

• For Microsoft calendar features, FolioBridge may access calendar information and events to display, create, update, or synchronize events requested by the user or organization. 

• For Microsoft file features, FolioBridge may access file metadata and files from Microsoft 365 services such as OneDrive when the user selects, authorizes, or otherwise makes those resources available through the granted permissions. 

FolioBridge uses Microsoft user data only to provide and support the Microsoft-connected functionality requested by the user or enabled by the organization. We may store connection metadata, access or refresh tokens, synchronization metadata, selected file references, and related records as needed to maintain the integration, support the user experience, troubleshoot issues, enforce security, and satisfy legal or contractual obligations. 

FolioBridge uses delegated Microsoft Graph permissions wherever possible. Current Microsoft integration permissions may include User.Read for account identification, offline_access to keep a user-authorized connection active, Calendars.ReadWrite for Outlook Calendar features, and Files.ReadWrite for OneDrive features. FolioBridge does not request tenant-wide Microsoft application permissions for Exchange, SharePoint, or Graph by default unless product requirements and organization authorization change. 

We do not use Microsoft user data for advertising, do not sell Microsoft user data, and do not use Microsoft user data to develop, improve, or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models. 

Users may revoke FolioBridge’s access to their Microsoft account through their Microsoft account permissions, their organization’s Microsoft 365 controls, or by disconnecting the integration in FolioBridge where that option is available. 

10. Organization-Controlled Accounts and School Data 

If a user accesses FolioBridge through a school, district, employer, or other organization, that organization may control the account, determine which features are enabled, manage connected systems, and access, export, retain, correct, or delete information associated with the account in accordance with its own policies, agreements, administrator permissions, and applicable law. 

When FolioBridge receives education records, student personal information, or other school data from or on behalf of a school or district, we process that information as a service provider for the school or district and use it only to provide, maintain, secure, support, or improve FolioBridge, or as otherwise directed or authorized by the school, district, parent, guardian, eligible student, or applicable law. 

11. FERPA, COPPA, PPRA, and Student Privacy 

FolioBridge may process information that is subject to federal and state student privacy laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), and state student data privacy laws where they apply. 

For school-provided student information, the school or district is generally responsible for determining whether it has obtained any required consent or has another legal basis to provide the information to FolioBridge. Where a school or district treats FolioBridge as a school official or authorized service provider, we process the information under that school or district’s direction and for legitimate educational, administrative, or operational interests. 

We do not knowingly sell student data, use student data for targeted advertising, create student profiles for unrelated commercial purposes, or disclose student data except to authorized users, the controlling school or district, service providers bound to support FolioBridge, legal or safety recipients when required or permitted by law, or as otherwise directed by the school or district. 

Parents, guardians, and eligible students who want to access, correct, delete, or restrict school-controlled student information should contact the applicable school or district. We will reasonably support the school or district in responding to such requests as required by applicable law or contract. 

12. Disclosure of Your Information 

We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify any individual without restriction, unless an applicable contract or law provides otherwise. 

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:

• To contractors, service providers, subprocessors, and other third parties we use to support our business and operate FolioBridge. 

• To Google, Microsoft, or other integration providers when a user or organization enables an integration or directs an action through that provider.

• With your consent or at the direction of your school, district, employer, or organization. 

• To a buyer or successor in connection with a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other transfer of some or all of our assets. 

• To comply with law, legal process, government requests, or to protect the rights, property, safety, security, or integrity of FolioBridge, our customers, users, or others. 

13. Data Retention 

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide FolioBridge, maintain records, support organizational workflows, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and protect the security and integrity of the service. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the organization’s use of the service, and applicable legal or contractual requirements. 

14. Data Security 

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. 

15. User Choices and Requests 

Users may be able to review or update certain account information within FolioBridge. Users may also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or additional information, subject to applicable law, organizational controls, and our legal and contractual obligations. 

16. Your State Privacy Rights 

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights regarding personal information, depending on where they live, the type of information involved, how FolioBridge is used, and whether an exception or exemption applies. These rights may include the right to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate personal information, deletion of certain personal information, a copy of personal information in a portable format, and information about how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, sold, shared, or processed. 

Depending on applicable law, residents of certain states may also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or certain profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. FolioBridge does not knowingly sell personal information, Google user data, Microsoft user data, or student personal information, and does not use that information for targeted advertising.
