SELvie Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 13th, 2026
SELvie, a product of SEL Plus (“SEL+,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the individuals and organizations we serve. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information through the SELvie platform. Our privacy and data handling practices are informed by widely recognized student privacy and youth data protection frameworks, including FERPA- and COPPA-informed practices where applicable.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to support mentoring relationships and measure student outcomes. This may include:
User Information: Name, email address, role (mentor, administrator, etc.)
Student Information: Name or identifier, demographic details (if provided), and program participation data
Progress Data: Notes, goals, attendance, and indicators such as behavior, attendance, and academic progress
Platform Usage Data: Interactions with the platform, including login activity and feature usage
We aim to collect only the information necessary to support mentoring and program effectiveness. We seek to follow data minimization and responsible data handling practices commonly used in educational and youth-serving environments.
2. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
Support mentors in delivering individualized, trauma-informed guidance
Track and report on student progress and program outcomes
Provide insights and recommendations to mentors and organizations
Improve platform functionality and user experience
We do not sell personal data.
3. Data Sharing
We share information only as necessary to support program delivery:
With authorized users within the same organization (e.g., mentors and program staff)
With partner organizations as directed by the organization using SELvie
With service providers that support platform operations (e.g., hosting), under appropriate safeguards
We do not share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Access to student and youth information is intended to remain limited to authorized individuals and organizations supporting program delivery and student success.
4. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect data, including:
Encryption of data in transit
Secure storage of data in managed infrastructure environments
Role-based access controls to limit data visibility
While we work to protect all information, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Our security and privacy practices are designed to support the needs of schools, nonprofits, and youth-serving organizations that operate within student privacy and youth data protection expectations.
5. AI and Data Use
SELvie may use AI-enabled features to support mentors with insights and recommendations.
AI features are designed to assist mentors, not replace human judgment
We limit the use of sensitive personal information in AI processing where possible
We do not use customer data to train public or shared AI models
We aim to apply responsible AI and data stewardship practices appropriate for educational and youth-support settings.
6. Data Retention
We retain data for as long as necessary to support program delivery and reporting, or as required by our partner organizations.
Organizations using SELvie may request deletion or anonymization of their data, subject to applicable requirements.
7. User Access and Control
Organizations control access to their data within SELvie. Authorized users may:
Access and update their information
Request corrections to inaccurate data
Request data deletion through their organization or by contacting us
8. Children and Youth Data
SELvie is designed for use by organizations serving youth. We handle student data under the direction of partner organizations (such as schools or nonprofits).
We expect our partners to obtain appropriate consent and comply with applicable laws and organizational requirements when providing student data to SELvie. SELvie is intended to support organizations serving youth in ways that align with commonly recognized student privacy and youth data protection practices, including FERPA- and COPPA-informed approaches where applicable.
