CONFIDENCE FOR YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY
Language learning.
Privacy in mind.
Choosing a language-learning platform means understanding how student access, information handling and hosting work.
At Smash, we believe those conversations should begin with clear information and accessible documentation.

Smash’s platform servers are located in Canada. Founded in Canada in 2015, Smash Education supports language learners and educators across different educational settings.
Not requiring student personal identifiers does not mean that no information is processed during platform use. Schools can review our documentation and discuss their specific privacy and data-handling requirements with us.

FOR SCHOOLS, BOARDS & DISTRICTS
Make an informed decision.
Every institution has its own requirements. These are some of the important topics to review when evaluating a language-learning platform.
Accounts & student access
Review how learners access the platform, how accounts are managed and what information is involved in your setup.
Data handling & retention
Ask about information processed during platform use, access to that information, retention and deletion procedures.
Hosting & service providers
Discuss hosting arrangements and any supporting services relevant to your school’s data requirements.
Accessibility & technical fit
Review accessibility needs, supported devices and any sign-in or learning-management integrations your school requires.
Canadian hosting is one part of an institution’s privacy review. We welcome questions about your school’s specific requirements.

Student privacy & data
Do students need to provide personally identifiable information?
No. Smash does not require students to provide personally identifiable information to use the platform.
What learner and account information does Smash process?
The Privacy Policy explains educational data such as activities, progress and oral recordings, technical information needed to operate the platform, and adult account or billing details. It also describes optional identifiers, access, retention and deletion.
Read the Privacy PolicyWhat happens to school learning records when a subscription ends?
Institutional student accounts are deleted each August unless the institution expressly requests that they remain active. Associated content is deleted with the student account. Teachers or administrators can also delete student accounts through their portal within the institution’s permissions. Some information may remain temporarily in backups.
Discuss any records you need and continuation requests before your subscription ends; the Privacy Policy explains retention and deletion.
Privacy & TrustHosting & school review
Where are Smash’s platform servers located?
In Canada. If your school needs more detail about hosting or supporting services, contact the Smash team as part of your review.
Does Canadian hosting automatically meet our school’s requirements?
Hosting location is one factor. Your school should also review its requirements for accounts, data handling, retention, security and accessibility. Discuss those requirements with Smash before adoption.
