An end-to-end secure platform that protects your classroom data and video with enterprise-level security designed for early childhood centers.
StoryLine uses a multi-layered approach to data safety across daily classroom operations, with built-in technical protections with day-to-day operational controls.
Our cameras run on a private, isolated network, never exposed to the open internet. Camera access and control is managed through a single on-site system installed locally.
All raw video data is stored on a secure PlayLens NAS installed locally inside your classroom. The system uses encrypted storage and can only be accessed through VPN-authenticated connections, ensuring your data stays protected on-site.
Data uploaded from your classroom to the cloud is protected using HTTPS and TLS encryption, the same standard used by online banking, ensuring it cannot be read or intercepted during transfer to Amazon Web Services.
StoryLine operates on AWS environments certified with ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701, maintaining enterprise-level data protection and disaster-recovery infrastructure.
Temporary access is granted only during setup and verification, then fully removed. After deployment, the system is accessed exclusively through secure, encrypted, VPN-based connections.
Access to StoryLine is limited to authorized users only with mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA). Shared accounts are not allowed, all access activity is recorded, and permissions are immediately removed when user roles change.
StoryLine continuously monitors system operations to identify issues or failures as they occur. When an issue is detected, alerts are sent immediately to our team for assessment and corrective action.
StoryLine follows COPPA principles for parental consent, applies FERPA-aligned practices appropriate for early childhood settings, and adheres to state childcare privacy guidelines that vary by jurisdiction. No personal information is collected, used, or retained beyond what is legally permitted and authorized by guardians.
StoryLine is designed with a privacy-first approach that gives schools and educators clear control over classroom content, review decisions, and what gets shared with families.
No images or videos are shared automatically. Content is reviewed, edited, and approved by educators before it reaches families.
StoryLine is focused on developmental insight, not broadcast viewing. Videos are view-only and accessible only to approved users.
The system captures only the moments needed to understand behavior, helping limit unnecessary background visibility and over-collection.
StoryLine emphasizes long-term developmental patterns instead of real-time sharing, with child-specific insight guided by consent and policy.
Clear answers to the most common questions from schools, educators, and families about participation, retention, access, and consent.
Yes. Participation is completely optional. No child data is collected, stored, or analyzed without prior consent, and that decision can be changed at any time.
No. StoryLine does not sell, rent, or share a child’s personal information or de-identified research data with third parties for commercial purposes, advertising, or outside AI training.
Only authorized directors, teachers, and approved parents can access data through secure login. Internal access is limited, temporary when needed, and logged.
StoryLine is designed to keep video only as long as operationally necessary and to reduce unnecessary archival risk.
Not without explicit consent. The service is opt-in, and any research use requires de-identification and controlled internal handling.
Yes. Consent is voluntary and can be refused or withdrawn at any time without affecting access to non-AI services. When consent changes, collection stops and applicable stored data can be deleted according to policy and law.
If a child is opted out, no individual tracking, analysis, or child-linked report is created. Because classroom cameras capture shared spaces, incidental background appearance may still occur, but no child-specific analysis is produced.
