Recording Policy

Scoot Education respects the privacy of its employees and strives to protect all confidential company, school, and student information.

Scoot Education prohibits the use of any recording device on company or school property or during working hours unless specifically permitted by the company. The use of picture phones or any other camera or device that may capture visual images without the management’s prior written permission is also prohibited.

Employees may not wear, use, or activate a device capable of recording, photographing, transmitting, or monitoring conversations or activities in the workplace unless expressly authorized by Scoot Education for business purposes.

Examples include, but are not limited to:
