Pilot terms for teachers

Thank you for helping us try SpeedGrade. These terms explain what the pilot is and what you agree to by joining. They sit alongside our privacy policy and our school data processing agreement.

What the pilot is

SpeedGrade is in an early pilot. Features will change, some things will go wrong, and we will ask for your feedback.
SpeedGrade suggests grades; it does not decide them. Multiple-choice scores come from your answer key. Written answers and handwriting are read and scored by AI, which can be wrong. You review and approve every grade before it goes back to Google Classroom or into a spreadsheet, and you remain responsible for the grades you give.
New accounts get free grading credit. Prices are on our website.

Your school's permission

By joining, you confirm that:

You use SpeedGrade in line with your school's policies, only for classes you teach, and only for school purposes. We ask for your school's name so we can follow up with them.
Your students are 13 or older. SpeedGrade is for grading the work of students aged 13 and over (grade 8 and up) and college students. Don't use it for work by younger students.
Before you connect Google Classroom, your school or district has agreed to SpeedGrade (by signing our school data processing agreement or the NDPA) or has allowed you to use it with your students' work. Connecting Classroom is optional: you can make classes in SpeedGrade and scan papers without it. We ask how your school agreed when you connect.

We suggest starting with a test class or a single assignment while you get to know SpeedGrade.

Student data

We handle student work as our privacy policy and school agreement describe: only to provide grading to you and your school, never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models.
We store a coded id for each student, not their name; names are shown to you from Classroom while you're looking.
Student work you grade with AI is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, with the name line blanked out. When you scan a paper without choosing the student, an image of just the name line is sent so the handwritten name can be read and matched to your class list. Names aren't stored.

During the pilot

A few things our privacy policy describes are not yet buttons in the app. Until they are, we do them for you:

Deleting a class's data, or all your data: write to support@speedgrade.app and we will delete it within 30 days and confirm in writing.
Disconnecting Google: remove SpeedGrade under Third-party apps & services in your Google Account settings. We stop using the connection straight away.
Exporting grades: use the spreadsheet download on any assignment.
While SpeedGrade is in Google's testing stage, Google asks you to sign in again every 7 days.

Leaving the pilot

You can stop using SpeedGrade at any time. Write to support@speedgrade.app if you'd like your account and your classes' data deleted.

Changes

If we change these terms, the privacy policy or the school agreement, we will ask you to read and accept them again the next time you sign in.
