The two a school signs against
Before launch
- Data protectionWho controls a school's data, who processes it, and what Clarvyn is obliged to do under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012.
- Children's dataHow records about children are entered, who can see them, and the rules Clarvyn will not break with them.
- Sub-processorsEvery third party that can touch a school's data, what each one does, and where it runs.
- Keeping and deleting dataHow long Clarvyn keeps a school's data, what happens when a school leaves, and what is not automated yet.
- SecurityHow schools are kept apart from each other, how staff access is controlled, and how to report a vulnerability.
- Deleting your accountHow a parent, a teacher or a school asks for an account and its data to be deleted, and what happens next.
