Disclosed by construction. Consented by design.
K-12 deployments live or die on parent trust. ArthurAI™ is built so disclosure is in-line, consent is appropriate to the cohort (school-as-agent for under-13), and the audit trail demonstrates an educator-decides posture every time AI assists instruction.
How disclosure surfaces in the product
- In-line, not modal. Every workflow surface where AI materially assists instruction or assessment carries a small disclosure block at the point of use. It is not a one-time popup that nobody reads; it is a present reminder of the human-in-the-loop posture.
- Configurable per district. Districts can replace the default disclosure language with their own, and configure the notification cadence (every session, every lesson, every term) per district policy.
- Two audiences, two surfaces. The educator-facing disclosure speaks to the teacher reviewing the AI's output. The student- and parent-facing disclosure speaks to the learner and the parent who may see the lesson alongside.
- State-statute aware. Districts subject to California AB-1791, Tennessee HB 1630, Utah HB 251, and analogous statutes get a disclosure surface that satisfies the specific notice requirement of the applicable statute. New statutes are added as they enact.

COPPA via the school-as-agent model
For deployments serving children under 13, ArthurAI™ relies on the school-as-agent model permitted by the Federal Trade Commission. Under this model, the school provides verifiable parental consent on behalf of the parent for educational purposes. The school remains the entity that informs and obtains consent from the parent for the educational service; ArthurAI does not directly contact the parent for consent.
What we never do. No personal information collected from a child is used for behavioral advertising, profile-building outside the educational context, or third-party marketing. There is no ‘free’ tier monetized through child data; institutional deployments are paid by the institution.
Parental access. Parents may inspect, correct, or delete their child's information through the institution's registrar. The platform supports the institution in fulfilling these requests but does not act independently of the institution.
State AI-disclosure law landscape
- California AB-1791 (signed September 2024, effective January 1, 2026). Requires schools to disclose AI use in instruction. ArthurAI ships with a configurable AB-1791 notice surface for California districts.
- Tennessee HB 1630 (effective July 2025). Requires policies on student use of AI in K-12. The corresponding disclosure surface is supported.
- Utah HB 251. AI-disclosure obligations for K-12 settings. Disclosure surface supported.
- Texas, Florida, New York, and other states. Tracked as they enact. The state-by-state tracker is maintained on the buyer's guide: state AI disclosure tracker.
Parent communication kit
Districts can adopt the language below verbatim or modify it as they prefer. The kit is designed so a district can communicate AI use to parents in a single one-page letter at the start of the school year, plus a short paragraph at every parent-facing surface (newsletter, parent portal, permission slip).
Default parent letter — opening paragraph
This school year, your child's teacher uses ArthurAI™, an educational AI platform, to help personalize lessons, generate practice activities, and answer questions in class. Every AI-assisted lesson is reviewed and approved by your child's teacher before your child sees it. AI-suggested grades on written work are reviewed by the teacher before they enter the gradebook. The teacher decides; the AI assists.
What we want parents to know
- The AI is decision support for the teacher. The teacher reviews and approves what your child sees.
- Your child's conversations with the AI tutor are stored on your child's own device, not on the school's servers.
- The school does not allow advertising, behavioral profiling, or third-party marketing on the platform.
- You have the right to inspect, correct, or delete your child's information by contacting the school's registrar.
- The school can show you a list of every AI-assisted assignment your child has completed and how the AI was used.

Data minimization
ArthurAI™ collects only what the institution loads (student name, role, grade level, enrollment) plus what the learner produces inside the platform (assessment artifacts, AI tutor conversations stored client-side, lesson progress, LCP responses). The platform does not collect biometric data, location data, or device telemetry beyond what is operationally necessary for the platform to function.
