Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect and store.

How we store your data and for how long.

Data is primarily held on secure servers within the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA). Where data might be stored outside of the UK or the EEA, we adopt appropriate technical and contractual protections, which may include the EU standard contractual clauses and UK equivalents.

We do sometimes store data in cloud storage services such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive.

We will only keep data whilst we have a legitimate reason to. Otherwise the data will be deleted. For example if you terminate your subscription or it lapses, any personal data is held for 12 months, should your organisation change its mind as it will make reactivation easy. Otherwise after this period, data relating to your organisation's users will be automatically deleted from the ODDIZZI platform. Any performance data relating to users within your school will be permanently anonymised and unidentifiable, for R&D purposes.

The ODDIZZI administrator and staff users at your organisation will be retained on our customer relationship management system and email system, as well as all staff users, to make it easy to re-activate your account should you change your mind and to continue receiving product newsletters and marketing updates. They will have the option to unsubscribe at any time.

We do reserve the right to retain and use personal data where required to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and/ or to enforce our terms and conditions.
