Led by Experience,
Built for Peace

Over 29 years in education, I have experienced every high and every challenge that comes with leading a school. Through those decades, one truth became undeniable: educators are carrying an impossible load, and the systems meant to support them are often adding to the burden.

Companion Education was born from a singular mission: to build schools led by educators who leave work with peace of mind. Not just managed, but truly supported.

Our vision is a future where the administrative noise fades away, allowing you to focus on the moments that actually shape the next generation. Because when leaders thrive, the entire school thrives.

DATA BOUNDARIES & PRIVACY

Privacy Designed for Educators

Companion Education™ was built with a simple idea:
Educators should not have to put sensitive student information into another cloud-based system just to stay organized.

Our applications are designed to minimize the collection and storage of personally identifiable information while still giving teachers and administrators practical tools to manage their work.

1. Your Information Stays on Your Device

Companion Education™ is designed around a local-storage philosophy. Your workspace information is stored directly on your personal or school-issued device rather than being aggregated in a centralized repository.

This includes:
• Teacher and staff notes
• Reminders
• Student or staff support notes
• Instructional planning information
• Task lists
• Daily priorities
• Organizational notes

Companion Education™ does not maintain a centralized cloud database containing this user-created content.

2. No Student PII Needed

Companion Education™ is an educator productivity tool, not a Student Information System (SIS). Users should not enter or speak personally identifiable student information, including:
• Full student names
• Official student identification numbers
• Birth dates
• Addresses or personal contact information
• Medical or health information
• IEP or 504 Plan information
• Confidential educational records
• Individually identifiable grades or assessment information

Guidance for Educators: Use initials (e.g., SW), a non-identifying nickname, a general description, or another reference that would not identify the student.

3. Voice Features With Privacy in Mind

For users who choose to utilize optional voice features, voice command text is temporarily transmitted to the Google Gemini API solely for real-time natural language processing.

Key safeguards in place:
• We utilize an enterprise-tier, paid Google Gemini API configuration.
• Prompts and responses are not used to train or improve Google's AI models.
• We maintain no cloud database of your voice recordings or voice-command history.

Always refrain from speaking sensitive student details. For example:
• Instead of: “Remind me to meet with Sophia Williams about her reading assessment.”
• Say: “Remind me to meet with SW about reading.”

4. What About Device Information?

Like standard modern applications, our servers process limited technical metadata (such as browser type, IP address, device type, security logs, and diagnostic telemetry) necessary for network security, licensing verification, and operational stability.

This technical diagnostic processing operates strictly at the system infrastructure level. It does not store or process your personal classroom notes or student tracking records.

5. What Companion Education™ Does Not Do

To provide absolute transparency regarding our privacy boundaries, Companion Education™ commits that it does not:
• Maintain a centralized cloud database of your classroom content
• Sell or rent student personally identifiable information
• Sell or rent your classroom content
• Use classroom content to build advertising profiles
• Use student information for behavioral or targeted advertising
• Maintain a cloud history of your voice commands
• Require personally identifiable student information for normal use of the app

6. A Simpler Approach to Educator Privacy

While educators retain ultimate discretion over what they type or speak into any software application, Companion Education™ is built specifically so that entering sensitive data is never necessary for a complete, effective workflow.

Less sensitive information collected.
Less sensitive information stored.
Less sensitive information at risk.

What does “founding member” mean?

You’re joining Premium at launch, so you pay the founding price for your edition — and that rate stays yours every year you renew.

What happens after December 31, 2026?

New members pay the regular price for their edition. If you’re already a founding member, your price doesn’t change.

What if I cancel and come back later?

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Companion Apps Save Time

Adopting new technology can feel overwhelming. Companion Education is designed to be as intuitive as having a conversation—no steep learning curves, no hours of setup, just clarity.

How long does it take to learn the app?

Companion Education is built on intuitive, voice-first technology. If you know how to talk, you know how to use it. Most educators feel entirely comfortable and confident within their first 10 minutes of use.

Do I have to type out all my reflections?

Not at all. Our interface is designed so you can simply speak your thoughts, observations, and feedback out loud. The system transcribes and intelligently organizes everything for you automatically.

Is this going to add more to my workload?

The exact opposite. Companion is specifically designed to give you time back. By capturing your insights on the go, you eliminate the need to sit down at a desk and log hours of manual data entry at the end of the day.

What if I’m not very “tech-savvy”?

We designed this for educators, not IT experts. The interface is clean, minimal, and entirely focused on capturing your voice without complicated menus, nested settings, or distracting features.
