Does Ed.ai use sub-processors?
Last updated: October 15, 2026
Yes. Ed.ai uses Microsoft Azure to host its data. That data is hosted in the United States (West US 3 region). Azure meets the strictest standards for privacy, reliability and data security (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27018, FedRAMP High).
👉 No personal data is shared with third parties or used for commercial purposes.
👉 Student papers are de-identified before any processing by external AI models. No model is trained on your students' written work.
🧩 Who our sub-processors are
Each one is covered by a signed data processing agreement (DPA):
-
Hosting: Microsoft Azure (servers, encrypted storage and backups).
-
AI processing: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI (Claude, Mistral) and Google Cloud (Gemini). They only receive de-identified content, under no-retention, no-training terms.
-
Running the product: Sentry (error tracking, with personal data scrubbed) and Pylon (support requests).
-
Communication: Mandrill, Mailchimp and HubSpot, for teacher and school contacts only, never student data.
-
Rostering: Edlink, which brings in your classes from your school's LMS or SIS.
-
Website analytics: Google Analytics, on our public website only, with no student data.
📄 Privacy transparency
