What this pass recorded. Clever is the single sign-on and rostering layer for K-12 schools: it pulls student records from school databases and passes them to hundreds of learning apps, so a breach or misuse at Clever could expose student data across many apps at once. No breach or enforcement action was found this pass. Clever's policy promises never to use student data for targeted advertising or sell it for marketing. Its terms put parents (not students) into binding AAA arbitration with a class-action waiver, and only new users can opt out, by email within 30 days.
