I work in education, and I emplore you to post a Privacy Policy and TOS clearly on the homepage, ASAP.

We have so much low hanging fruit in this industry with regards to privacy and security. The website you listed reminds me a lot of other one-dev platforms that aren't properly equipped to deal with their own volume.

If you're inviting teachers to add information about their districts and their students, you MUST take your security, your supply chain, and your disclosures seriously.

There is not enough experience in my industry to make up the difference. You're going to market this to teachers who sign up without the consent of their IT or data people, enter PII about minor children, and then get fired and that data will be invisible to my department forever. But you'll still have it, ready to lose it in your first big hack or sell it when times get tough.

I could list literally 3 other platforms designed by a lonely teacher in their spare time that could literally probably have their databases dumped this afternoon if I posted the links here. Please, be careful.

Fair points and I appreciate the heads up. I'll add those things asap.

>If you're inviting teachers to add information about their districts and their students, you MUST take your security, your supply chain, and your disclosures seriously.

Definitely not the case with SlideHero. There is no facility to add student names or any school related information. It's purely a slide deck and activity generator.

>enter PII about minor children, and then get fired and that data will be invisible to my department forever.

That would be very poor judgement on the teacher's part for sure. There are no prompts to enter student data at all in SlideHero, it's really not designed for that.

>Please, be careful.

100% agree, I'll add a note to remind users not to add any identifying information, although they'd almost have to be willfully doing it since thats not in line with the purpose of the app.

Appreciate the concern though and you make valid points, so I appreciate it.
