How we collect information?

As a company, Eduwity does not ask student and parents for data directly. Any data in the software is shared by the schools/colleges with which Eduwity signs a contract or is collected because the school/college needs the student or parent to provide this data to the school so they can do what is required to be done.

What our legal basis is for processing your personal information?

Eduwity signs a contract with the schools /colleges that it works with. No data is taken from the institution until the contract is signed by both parties.

Who collects your personal information?

The personal information of students and parents is collected by the schools directly. Eduwity does not send data requests directly to students and parents.

How we collect data?

We share data templates for details required for various applications that the school is using. The schools/colleges share the data with us directly. No third party is given the data during this process. In some cases schools ask us to provide applications to staff, students and parents from whom data is required to be collected as needed by the school. This is strictly to be able to enable the school /college to run their educational institution.

How we use your personal information?

We use the information only for the various applications that the school is using. We do not share data with any other party.

How long do we keep your personal information?

We keep you personal information as long as we have an ongoing contract with the educational institution that we are associated with. In case we end our contract with a school/college, we share all current data with the educational institution, and delete this data from our servers.

Who we share your personal information with?

We do not share your personal information with anyone, including third party vendors.
