Legal & Policies

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using PROVE it!™, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you are using PROVE it! on behalf of a school or district, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms. These terms apply to all teachers, administrators, and students using the platform.

Permitted Use

PROVE it! is a reading and language arts assessment tool designed for classroom use. You may use the platform to deliver PROVE-based reading assessments, review student strategy data, and access instructional resources. You may not reverse-engineer, resell, or redistribute the platform or its content.

Accounts & Access

Teachers and administrators are responsible for managing student access within their license. You are responsible for keeping login credentials secure. Student accounts must only be created by authorized school staff — students may not self-register.

Intellectual Property

PROVE it!™, The Test That Talks Back™, and the PROVE framework are trademarks of In Between the Lattes, LLC. All curriculum content, question banks, and platform design are proprietary and may not be copied, shared, or reproduced outside of licensed use.

Cancellation

Schools and districts may cancel their license at any time. Unused portions of annual licenses are non-refundable. Monthly Teacher subscriptions may be cancelled at any time and will not renew after the current billing period.

Limitation of Liability

PROVE it! is provided as-is. In Between the Lattes, LLC is not liable for indirect damages, data loss, or interruptions beyond our reasonable control. Our total liability is limited to the amount paid for the applicable license period.

What We Collect

For teachers and administrators, we collect name, email address, school affiliation, and usage data necessary to deliver the service. For students, we collect only what is required to record PROVE strategy responses — no personally identifiable information beyond a first name or initials as assigned by the teacher.

How We Use It

• To deliver and improve the PROVE it! platform
• To generate class-wide and individual student reports for teachers
• To recommend instructional resources based on class performance data
• To communicate with educators about their account or new features

Data Retention & Deletion

Assessment data is retained for the duration of the active license period plus 12 months to allow for year-over-year comparison. Upon written request, all data associated with a school or district can be permanently deleted within 30 days.

Third-Party Services

PROVE it! uses Stripe for payment processing and Vercel for hosting. These providers are bound by data protection agreements consistent with applicable law. Student assessment data is never shared with payment processors.

Your Rights

Teachers and administrators may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data at any time. Schools retain full control over student records and may request export or deletion on behalf of their students.

What We Use

PROVE it! uses only the cookies required for the platform to function. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics that build behavioral profiles of users.

Your Choices

You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent login and session functionality from working correctly.

Our Commitment

PROVE it! is designed from the ground up to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We operate as a “school official” under FERPA, meaning we use student education records solely to provide the contracted educational service — nothing more.

What This Means in Practice

• No student data is collected without a school or district contract in place
• Student assessment records are accessible only to authorized teachers and administrators
• We do not share student education records with any third party without explicit school authorization
• No advertising is directed at students using the platform
• Student data is never used to build profiles outside of the educational context
• Data collected for educational purposes is not used for any commercial purpose

Data Access & Deletion Rights

Schools retain full control over all student records stored in PROVE it!. Upon written request, we will provide a complete export of all student data associated with your institution or permanently delete it within 30 days. Parents and eligible students (18+) may request access through their school’s designated FERPA officer.

COPPA — Students Under 13

For students under 13, PROVE it! requires that schools obtain appropriate parental or guardian consent as required under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not collect personal information directly from children under 13 — all accounts for minors are created and managed exclusively by authorized school personnel.

Texas SB 820 & Data Privacy

We are committed to compliance with Texas SB 820 (Student Data Privacy) and provide a signed Texas Student Data Privacy Agreement (TXSDPA) upon request. School districts may request our data security documentation, DPA, and W-9 directly from our compliance team.
