ClickWise evaluates edtech on privacy, security, and academic integrity. Every tool gets a Low/Medium/High risk rating across five criteria- data collection, encryption, third-party sharing, COPPA/FERPA compliance, and whether it's built to teach or just hand out answers. It is a transparent, reproducible methodology you can check yourself. There are no sponsorships, no star-rating fluff. A student-led organization helping students, parents, and teachers see the tradeoffs before they sign up.

Hey! I'm Sanjoli, a high schooler in the Bay Area. I made ClickWise because my friends and I use AI tools and study apps constantly and none of us have any clue what we're agreeing to when we sign up- what data they take, whether it's sold, if using them counts as cheating under our school's rules. Every review site I looked at just rated stuff on features and gave it stars. Nothing told me the things I actually cared about. So I built a framework that scores tools on five things- what data they collect, how they protect it, whether they share it, if they're COPPA/FERPA compliant, and whether the tool is built to teach you or just spit out answers. Each one gets a low/medium/high risk rating and you can see exactly why. It's a nonprofit, I'm not making money off it, and there are no sponsors deciding the scores. Would love for you to poke at it and tell me what's broken or missing. And if there's a tool you've always wondered about, let me know and I'll evaluate it.

Finally someone cutting through the edtech marketing haze with actual reproducible criteria instead of vague star ratings.
