Student passwords can be accessed by the designated school MyLC account administrator.
LC Solutions takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line.

Google API Disclosure
MyLC's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
MyLC does not share or transfer to 3rd parties any data requested through Google APi integrations. MyLC only stores data noted below:
For schools that use Google to login to the MyLC, the application uses Google Workspace for Education account email addresses provided by the school for authentication of MyLC.
When MyLC integrates with Google Drive, the application allows users to access the Google Picker to select and then share Google Drive files with other teachers or students in the organization. Only the selected Google Drive document file id and url are stored in MyLC.
When students send reports from the application, MyLC will request the ability to read user email addresses from recent sent messages in order to provide the user with a list of email addresses to choose from. These suggested addresses are not stored on MyLC servers unless a user sends their report to an address. MyLC saves a log of email addresses a users sends reports to in order to show the user their report send history.
How We Collect Information for K-12 Student Accounts
LC Solutions collects personally identifiable information from K-12 Students when mylcsolution.com is being used by the K-12 student through their K-12 school or school district.
MyLC allows Google Workspace K-12 site administrators to enable various Google integrations. Optional integrations include:
Google Drive - used to allow students and teachers to select resources from their school Google Drive account to submit as assignments or class resources
Gmail Students can send their student digest report directly to recipients directly from MyLC. An example would be sending their digest report to a parent. In this case, MyLC requests access to a student inbox to gather a list of recent threads. These threads are used as suggested email addresses which are used to prevent students from sending MyLC data to a 3rd party they have not sent messages to in the past. MyLC only accesses the "To" and "From" headers and does not read message bodies. No Google data is saved to MyLC servers except as noted in the Google Data Retention policy below.
Data retention from Google integrations
MyLC will not read or store information from Google integrations. The only exeption would be instances where a student sends a message to a non-MyLC user (a parent, for example). In this case, MyLC may save the email address to provide a suggested contact for the next time a student uses the same feature.
At no time are messages read or stored, and email addresses are never shared with 3rd parties.
In order to use mylcsolution.com, student accounts are created by a school's designated account administrator. Information provided by the account administrator to mylcsolution.com includes First Name, Last Name, Grade in School, and other information chosen by the school authority to identify and track students. Such information might include student identification numbers or student email address. This First and Last name is used to create a username and password used each time the student logs in to mylcsolution.com. When enabled by a school's account administrator, student passwords can be changed by the student user, but will still be accessable by the designated school MyLC account administrator.
