common sense media ratingWe’ll keep your data safe and sound
Brisk only runs when a teacher chooses to use it. We don’t store student data after a task is complete, and we never use it to train AI models. There’s no third-party tracking, and no surprise data collection. Just secure, compliant tools that support teachers — on their terms.
We follow SOC 2-aligned practices, encrypt all data in transit and at rest, and support role-based access with audit logging. We’re also fully compliant with FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR.
