Student Data Privacy
Education Perfect (EP) is a digital learning and assessment platform used by over 1.4m+ students and 50k+ teachers in countries around the world.
The EP platform contains an extensive library of curriculum aligned lessons that can be further customised to suit each teacherโs needs. The program is designed to leverage data and insights to elevate the role of a teacher and provide students with a more personalised learning experience.
Where is user data stored?
Student, teacher and school staff data, including all backups, is stored in Amazon Web Services' Australian data centres. The only exception is for our Canadian customers, whose data is hosted in Amazon Web Services' Canadian data centres.
No Student Data is transferred to any third-party systems or other countries.
To support operations and to deliver services such as customer support, we may also store and process teacher and school staff data in other geographic locations to serve those functions. We only store the data necessary for the specific purpose, and all vendors are reviewed to ensure they meet our security and privacy standards. You can find the details of all our sub-processors here.
