AI Privacy Decision Tree
A structured self-check before you use an AI tool with student data. Answer one question at a time — approved-tool status, student access, COPPA, identifiability, sensitivity, consequential use, and vendor data practices — and get a clear determination with the required next actions. Up to ten questions, about three minutes.
Private by design: everything runs in your browser. Nothing you select is sent, stored, or seen by anyone but you.
Before you begin
Have one specific AI tool and one specific use in mind — the tree routes you based on how this tool will be used, by whom, and with what data. At the end you can download a one-page summary of your path — the questions you hit, your answers, and the required actions — to attach to a tool-approval request or keep on file.
Drawn from the S4IS K-12 AI Privacy and Data Protection Toolkit. This is compliance support, not legal advice — your district's own policy and approval process always govern.
