Trust & Safety
Where Classroom Innovation Meets Security
Lumi is built with security, safety, and privacy at its core. Our platform prioritizes student safety through secure system design, responsible AI use, and clear operational guardrails—so schools can adopt new learning tools without increasing risk.
Student Data
Belongs to the Student
Students own their data and creations. Lumi collects only what is necessary to deliver instruction and learning outcomes.
