Terms of Service Addendum: Connecticut
This Terms of Service Addendum (“Addendum”) addends that certain Clever
General Terms of Use (including the Additional Terms of Use for Schools and Privacy
Policy) available at: https://clever.com/about/terms (the “Terms”) (collectively,
along with this Addendum, the “Agreement”). The purpose of this Addendum is to
describe Clever’s obligations to uphold the safety and confidentiality of student
information, Student Data and student-generated content (collectively referred to
as “Student Data”) it processes on behalf of a Connecticut School, in accordance
with Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. If this is an express conflict between a
term and condition of the Terms and this Addendum, this Addendum will supersede.
For avoidance of doubt, the limitation of liability provision set forth in the Terms will
govern this Addendum. This Addendum incorporates by reference the definitions
set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa.
1. All Student Data provided or accessed pursuant to the Agreement are not the
property of, nor under the control of, Clever.
2. The School shall have access to and the ability to delete Student Data in
Clever’s possession except in instances where such data is (A) otherwise
prohibited from deletion or required to be retained under state or federal law, or
(B) stored as a copy as part of a disaster recovery storage system and that is (i)
inaccessible to the public, and (ii) unable to be used in the normal course of
business by Clever. The School may request the deletion of Student Data at any
time through the School Administrator dashboard or by contacting Clever at
support.clever.com and submitting a support ticket. Contractor will comply with
the Board’s request in a commercially reasonable time not to exceed ten (10)
business days. This provision shall not require Clever to delete information which
has been aggregated and de-identified such that it no longer can be used to
reasonably identify an individual student. Please note that if the School granted
access to Student Data to a Developer through Clever, the School must contact
the Developer directly to request access or deletion of Student Data.
3. Clever shall not use Student Data for any purposes other than those authorized
pursuant to the Agreement.
4. A student, parent or legal guardian of a student may review personally
identifiable information contained in Student Data and correct any erroneous
information, if any, by submitting such request to the School. Clever will respond

to such requests in accordance with the instructions conveyed by an authorized
School representative.
5. Clever shall take actions designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of
Student Data.
6. Clever will notify the School, in accordance with Conn. Gen. Stat. § 10-234dd,
when there has been an unauthorized release, disclosure or acquisition of
Student Data. Such notification will include the following steps: If there is any
disclosure or access to any personally identifiable Student Data under Clever’s
control by an unauthorized party, Clever will promptly notify the School and will
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with their investigations of the incident.
Because Clever is unlikely to maintain the type of personal information necessary
to notify affected individuals, the School agrees that it shall be solely responsible
for any and all notifications to affected individuals or other third parties that may
be required by applicable law. However, at the request of the School and when
permissible under applicable law, Clever agrees to bear responsibility for the
timing, content and method of such required notice on behalf of the School. For
clarity and without limitation, Clever is not responsible for providing notice and
will not indemnify for any notification costs arising from a breach of a third party
application whose service is accessed by the School through the Clever
technology platform. In accordance with this paragraph, the notice shall be
sent to:
School Contact: _______________________

7. Student Data shall not be retained or available to Clever upon expiration of the
Agreement between the Clever and the School, except for where data is
aggregated and de-identified such that it cannot be used to identify an
individual student or a where a student, parent or legal guardian of a student
may choose independently to establish or maintain information in a personal
account.
8. Clever and the School shall each ensure their own compliance with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, as amended from
time to time.
Connecticut Commission for Educational Technology Version 1.0
9. The laws of the State of Connecticut shall govern the rights and duties of Clever
and the School.
10. If any provision of the Agreement or the application of the Agreement is held
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity does not affect other
provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without
the invalid provision or application.
