Privacy Policy
Effective June 13, 2026. GoalDraft is built by Uptrail (hello@uptrail.ai). This policy describes what the app does with information, in plain language.
The short version
Your caseload lives on your device and in your personal iCloud. Our servers keep no student records. There is no account and no field for a student's name anywhere in the app. Text you send for drafting is de-identified, processed to generate your draft, and not retained.
What stays on your device
Students (identified only by the initials or nickname you choose), goals, data points, narratives, and session records are stored on your iPhone and synced through your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, in your private database. We cannot read your iCloud data. Deleting the app and its iCloud data removes it.
What reaches our servers
- An anonymous device token. Created on first launch to meter free drafts and verify subscriptions. It contains no personal information and is not linked to your identity.
- Drafting requests. When you ask for a goal draft, progress note, present levels, or talking points, the app sends the relevant numbers and text. Before any processing, our server removes names and personal identifiers (the app has no name fields, and the server additionally strips anything name-shaped, plus emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, and similar identifiers). Requests that look like they contain identifying information are rejected.
- Subscription receipts. Verified with Apple to unlock Pro.
What we do not do
- We do not store student records on our servers. Drafting inputs are processed to produce your draft and are not retained after the request completes.
- We do not sell data, show ads, or use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
- We do not use your content to train AI models.
- We do not track you across apps or websites.
AI processing
Drafts are generated by an AI service operated on our infrastructure with a commercial model provider under terms that prohibit training on the data. Inputs are de-identified before processing as described above. Every draft is a starting point: the teacher reviews, edits, and decides. GoalDraft does not make legal or compliance claims about any document.
Students and FERPA
GoalDraft is designed so that student education records stay with the teacher: identity stays on your device, and drafting requests are de-identified before leaving it. Many districts treat properly de-identified information as outside FERPA's disclosure restrictions, but district policies vary. A one-page summary for your district IT is available in the app's settings, and we are happy to answer district questions at hello@uptrail.ai.
Children
GoalDraft is for teachers and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
- Export every data point as CSV at any time, from Settings.
- Delete your anonymous server identity from Settings. This removes our only server-side record associated with your device.
- Remove the app's iCloud data from your device's iCloud settings.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date above changes and material changes are noted in the app's release notes.
