4. How Information Is Shared
We only share information in the following limited circumstances:

- For Legal Compliance: We will disclose information where required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
We never share personal information with third-party advertisers.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect all data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
Schools and individual users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our App is designed to be used in an educational setting and may be used by children. We rely on the school to:
- Obtain any necessary parental consent required by law (such as under GDPR) before creating student accounts.
- Manage and maintain the student accounts responsibly.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children that is not essential for the educational purpose of the App.

- The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data.
- The right to request the deletion of your personal data.
- The right to object to the processing of your personal data.
