Privacy Policy
This policy describes how EduNovtryx handles personal data across our website and school-management platform. It is written to be read alongside our Terms of Service, Cookie Policy, and Data Processing Agreement.
1. Who we are
EduNovtryx (“EduNovtryx”, “we”, “us”) is a school management platform built for Nigerian schools, covering staff duty allocation, academic results, fee collection, attendance, and parent communication. EduNovtryx is operated Remotely.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect through the EduNovtryx website and application (the “Service”), why we collect it, and the choices available to you. It applies to school administrators, staff, students, and parents/guardians whose data is processed through the Service.
A school that signs up for EduNovtryx (the “School”) is the data controller for the student, parent, and staff records it enters into the platform. EduNovtryx acts as a data processor on the School’s behalf for that data, and as a data controller for the account and billing information of the School itself. See our Data Processing Agreement for how we handle data on a School’s behalf.
2. Data we collect
We collect the following categories of data:
- School account data: school name, address, registered admin contact details, subscription plan, and billing history.
- Staff data: name, email address, phone number, role, and duty assignments entered by the School.
- Student data: name, date of birth, class/section, home address, academic records, attendance records, and, where applicable, guardian/parent contact details. Student data is entered by the School, not collected directly from students by us.
- Parent/guardian data: name, email address, and phone number, used to deliver fee reminders and academic updates by SMS or email.
- Payment data: fee ledger entries and payment references. Card and bank details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Paystack — we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Usage and device data: IP address, browser type, and pages visited on our public website and dashboard, collected for security and troubleshooting.
- Contact form submissions: name, email, phone number, school name, and message content submitted through our contact page.
3. Student (children’s) data
Because EduNovtryx is used by schools to manage student records, we process personal data belonging to minors. This data is entered and controlled by the School, not by us or by the student directly. We rely on the School to have the appropriate legal basis and, where required, parental or guardian consent, to submit student data to the Service.
We do not use student data for advertising or marketing, and we do not sell student data to any third party. Student data is used solely to provide the school-management functions the School has configured (results, attendance, fee ledgers, and communications).
4. How we use data
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Service for a School.
- To process subscription payments and reconcile the fee collection ledger via Paystack.
- To send SMS and email reminders configured by a School to parents/guardians (for example, fee due-date reminders).
- To respond to support and contact-form requests.
- To maintain the security of the Service, including detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, or unauthorised access.
- To comply with legal obligations, including tax and financial record-keeping requirements.
5. Legal basis for processing
We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (“NDPR”). Depending on the data and purpose, our legal basis includes:
- Performance of a contract— to provide the Service under our Terms of Service and a School’s subscription.
- Consent — where a School or parent has given consent for communications, such as SMS/email reminders.
- Legitimate interest — to secure and improve the Service, prevent fraud, and respond to inquiries.
- Legal obligation — to meet tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.
8. Data retention
We retain School, staff, and student data for as long as a School’s subscription is active, plus a reasonable period afterward to allow the School to export its records and to meet our legal and accounting obligations.
If a School closes its account, we will delete or anonymise the data associated with that account within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or for the resolution of disputes.
9. Data security
We use technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls, and isolation of each School’s data from other schools on the platform — to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, to object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
If your data is held on a school’s EduNovtryx account (for example, as a student, parent, or staff member), please contact the School directly, as it controls that data. If you are a School administrator, contact us using the details below.
11. International data transfers
Our infrastructure providers may process or store data outside Nigeria. Where this occurs, we require appropriate safeguards to be in place, consistent with the requirements of the NDPR, to protect personal data to a standard comparable to Nigerian law.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated to School administrators by email where practicable.
