iSpeakOnly Teacher Privacy Policy<\/h1>\n

1. About this policy<\/h2>\n

This Teacher Privacy Policy explains how iSpeakOnly collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when a person applies to teach, completes selection or verification, creates a teacher account or profile, provides availability, communicates with learners, teaches classes, submits reports, or otherwise uses the iSpeakOnly teacher system.<\/p>\n

By applying, creating an account, or using the teacher services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required, iSpeakOnly will ask for it through a clear affirmative action.<\/p>\n

2. Information we collect<\/h2>\n

Application information.<\/strong> We may collect your first and last name, email address, application status, application dates, interview status, invitation and verification status, and communications about your application. You may also be asked to provide a resume, professional summary, and a link to a real teaching video.<\/p>\n

Method-test and selection information.<\/strong> We collect method-test attempts, answers, scores, pass or fail results, completion dates, training progress, interview decisions, review notes, and related administrative actions.<\/p>\n

Account and identity information.<\/strong> We collect your name, email address, password account credentials, account status, login-related information, time zone, legal name, identity-verification status, internal iSpeakOnly team notes, and identity documents when required for verification.<\/p>\n

Teacher profile information.<\/strong> We may collect your display name, country, profile photograph, introduction, profile page information, image-rights confirmation, draft and approved profile content, publication status, and review history. Approved profile information may be visible to learners.<\/p>\n

Availability and booking information.<\/strong> We collect your time zone, available dates and times, weekly availability settings, class buffer preference, assigned learners, class bookings, meeting platform and joining details, cancellations, rescheduling, attendance outcomes, and related timestamps.<\/p>\n

Teaching and communication records.<\/strong> We collect messages, class-change discussions, Student Handout assignments, instructions, uploaded materials, learner submissions reviewed by you, teacher feedback, read status, class reports, learner feedback about classes, safety reports, dispute information, and administrative review records.<\/p>\n

Lesson Plan Access History.<\/strong> When you open a protected lesson plan, we record the teacher, lesson-plan identity, level and version, stated purpose, related learner or class where applicable, opening and ending times, recorded access duration, technical session status, blocked General Walkthrough attempts, and related accountability-email status. Browser closure, internet loss, and inactivity may require the system to estimate the ending time from the last activity it reliably received.<\/p>\n

Payment and earnings information.<\/strong> We may collect your agreed hourly rate, class duration, completed-class outcomes, calculated earnings, payment status, adjustments, and related administrative records. If payment services later collect banking, tax, or payout details, those services may process the information under their own privacy policies.<\/p>\n

Technical information.<\/strong> WordPress, hosting, security, analytics, cookies, email, and similar services may automatically collect information such as IP address, browser, device, login activity, pages visited, and diagnostic or security logs.<\/p>\n

3. How we use information<\/h2>\n
  • Receive, review, and decide teacher applications.<\/li>
  • Provide training, administer the teacher method test, conduct interviews, and issue account invitations.<\/li>
  • Verify identity, qualifications, suitability, and account security.<\/li>
  • Create, review, approve, publish, and maintain teacher profiles.<\/li>
  • Match teachers with learners and manage availability, bookings, class changes, and cancellations.<\/li>
  • Provide messaging, materials, class links, feedback, reporting, support, and administrative tools.<\/li>
  • Confirm class outcomes, calculate earnings, and maintain payment-related records.<\/li>
  • Monitor teaching quality, protect learners and teachers, and investigate safety concerns or disputes.<\/li>
  • Send essential application, account, verification, profile, booking, cancellation, class, safety, and payment communications.<\/li>
  • Meet legal, accounting, regulatory, and contractual obligations and maintain and improve the service.<\/li><\/ul>\n

    Lesson Plan Access History is used for transparency, accountability, library security, service review, and identifying access patterns that may warrant human review. A recorded pattern does not by itself determine misconduct or automatically impose a penalty.<\/p>\n

    4. Application video and identity documents<\/h2>\n

    A teacher applicant may be asked to provide a link to an unedited teaching video so iSpeakOnly can assess teaching ability, learner talk time, suitability, and compliance with the iSpeakOnly method. The video is for authorized recruitment and review personnel and is not intended for publication.<\/p>\n

    Identity documents may be collected when needed to verify a teacher. Access should be limited to authorized administrators. Identity documents will not be displayed to learners and should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for verification, safety, fraud prevention, or legal requirements.<\/p>\n

    5. Online class recordings<\/h2>\n

    iSpeakOnly online classes may be recorded for quality control, learner safety, teacher review, training, and handling reported concerns. Teachers and learners will be informed that recording applies to the class service.<\/p>\n

    Class recordings are normally deleted within 48 hours. A recording may be kept longer when a learner, guardian, teacher, or member of the iSpeakOnly team reports a concern, or when retention is reasonably necessary to investigate a dispute, protect a person, enforce iSpeakOnly rules, or comply with a legal obligation. Access is limited to authorized people who need it for these purposes.<\/p>\n

    Class recordings will not be published or used for advertising without separate permission from the identifiable participants.<\/p>\n

    6. Information visible to learners<\/h2>\n

    Learners may see approved teacher-profile information such as your display name, country, photograph, introduction, and other approved professional information. Assigned learners may also receive class joining details, teacher messages, learning materials, feedback, and booking-related information needed for their classes.<\/p>\n

    Your private legal name, identity documents, internal review notes, method-test answers, earnings information, and private iSpeakOnly team records are not intended to be displayed to learners.<\/p>\n

    7. When we share information<\/h2>\n

    iSpeakOnly does not sell teacher personal information. We may share only the information reasonably necessary with:<\/p>\n

    • Learners and their parents or guardians, where needed to provide classes and show an approved teacher profile.<\/li>
    • Authorized iSpeakOnly administrators, reviewers, trainers, and support personnel.<\/li>
    • Website hosting, storage, email, security, payment, video-meeting, and other providers that help operate the service.<\/li>
    • Professional advisers, insurers, regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies, or other authorities when legally required or reasonably necessary to protect rights and safety.<\/li>
    • A successor organization if iSpeakOnly is reorganized, sold, or transferred, subject to appropriate privacy protections.<\/li><\/ul>\n

      A class joining link may take the teacher to an external meeting provider, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or Tencent Meeting. That provider processes information under its own terms and privacy policy.<\/p>\n

      8. How long we keep information<\/h2>\n

      iSpeakOnly keeps teacher information only for as long as reasonably necessary for recruitment, account administration, teaching services, accurate educational and financial records, dispute resolution, safety, and legal obligations.<\/p>\n

      • Class recordings:<\/strong> normally deleted within 48 hours, unless a concern, dispute, safety matter, or legal obligation requires longer retention.<\/li>
      • Application, method-test, interview, verification, and identity information:<\/strong> retained while needed to complete recruitment and verification and afterward where reasonably necessary for legitimate safety, fraud-prevention, record-keeping, or legal purposes.<\/li>
      • Account, profile, availability, booking, message, material, report, feedback, earnings, and administrative records:<\/strong> retained while the account or working relationship is active and afterward where reasonably necessary for legal, accounting, safety, dispute, or record-keeping purposes.<\/li><\/ul>\n

        Lesson Plan Access History and its email-event records are retained according to the same legitimate teaching-service, accountability, dispute-resolution, and record-keeping needs. iSpeakOnly should apply a documented retention period and remove or anonymize records when they are no longer reasonably necessary.<\/p>\n

        9. Security<\/h2>\n

        iSpeakOnly uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information, including role-based account access and protected administrative areas. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Teachers must protect their login details, meeting links, learner information, and identity documents and notify iSpeakOnly if they believe information or an account has been accessed without permission.<\/p>\n

        10. Teacher responsibilities for learner information<\/h2>\n

        Teachers may access learner information only to prepare for and provide authorized iSpeakOnly classes, review assigned materials, communicate through approved channels, and complete required reports. Teachers must not copy, publish, sell, disclose, or use learner or guardian information for unrelated personal or commercial purposes.<\/p>\n

        Teachers must protect class links, messages, submissions, recordings, and learner details and report suspected loss, misuse, or unauthorized access promptly.<\/p>\n

        11. International services<\/h2>\n

        iSpeakOnly and its service providers may process information in countries other than the teacher\u2019s country. Privacy laws may differ between countries. Where required, iSpeakOnly will use appropriate safeguards for international processing and transfers.<\/p>\n

        12. Your choices and rights<\/h2>\n

        Depending on applicable law, a teacher or applicant may ask iSpeakOnly to:<\/p>\n

        • Provide access to personal information held about them.<\/li>
        • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.<\/li>
        • Delete the account or eligible personal information.<\/li>
        • Restrict or object to certain uses of personal information.<\/li>
        • Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.<\/li>
        • Provide a copy of eligible information.<\/li><\/ul>\n

          Some information may need to be retained to meet legal or accounting obligations, maintain class and payment records, resolve disputes, protect learners and teachers, or establish and defend legal claims.<\/p>\n

          Requests may be sent to info@ispeakonly.com. iSpeakOnly may need to verify the requester\u2019s identity before responding.<\/p>\n

          13. Cookies and website tools<\/h2>\n

          The website may use essential cookies for login, security, preferences, forms, and website operation. If optional analytics or advertising cookies are used, iSpeakOnly should provide any notice and choices required by applicable law. Third-party websites reached through links have their own privacy practices.<\/p>\n

          14. Changes to this policy<\/h2>\n

          iSpeakOnly may update this Teacher Privacy Policy when the service, technology, or legal requirements change. The updated policy will show a revised effective date. Material changes will be communicated when required.<\/p>\n
