Security and trust
whysdm is built for institutions that answer for their data.
What we use
Public social media and news in Australia and in students’ home countries, in their own languages, and official data such as Department of Education enrolment data and Department of Home Affairs visa grant rates. Nothing private.
What we never do
- Identify private individuals.
- Ask you for student data.
- Share one institution’s brief with another.
How access is governed
Access is governed in tiers:
- Structured insight
- by default
- Redacted excerpts
- only if you opt in
- Raw content
- gated to enterprise customers
Excerpts and raw content about anyone under 18 are never shared.
How AI is used
The English in every brief is a language model’s reading of the original post, and the original is always linked. The assistant answers from your brief and cites its sources.
