How we handle GDPR.

How we handle GDPR.

The data we collect, why we collect it, where it lives, and the rights you have over it — written plainly.

We collect very minimal information from parents and teachers. The information relating to children comes from the respective parent and/or teacher and does not extend beyond their name and grade level. We do not need their full name at all and in fact many schools now use a nickname or code.

Access to data is allowed only as required with strong directives in our internal policy relating to privacy. Studyladder does not share personal information with any third party.

When teachers and parents/guardians register they give consent to the processing of their own personal data by agreeing to terms upon registration.

School accounts for students are created by teachers. Parents are prompted to sign up for parent/supervision accounts in order to oversee their child's activities when using outside school hours. Student home accounts are created by parents/guardians.

Information about data collection and processing is outlined in Studyladder’s Privacy Policy and GDPR policy in a ‘concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language’.
