EduLock.io ("we", "our", or "the App") is a school device management application designed to help educational institutions enforce acceptable use policies on student devices during school hours. This Privacy Policy explains how EduLock.io collects, uses, and protects information when used for school device management (the “Services” or “EduLock.io Services”). We process data both as a data controller (for school administrator accounts) and as a processor (for student device data).
In this Privacy Policy we will explain our practices regarding the use of personal data obtained and/or processed through our Services.
This Privacy Policy is part of our EduLock.io Terms of Service.
What Data We Collect and Why
EduLock.io is a school device management application that processes two distinct types of personal data:
(1) School Administrator Account Data: Schools provide administrator contact information (name, email, phone, timezone) to set up and manage their school account. EduLock.io acts as a Data Controller for this information and uses it to manage accounts, provide technical support, handle billing and invoicing, and maintain the platform. This data is retained for the subscription period plus 5 years (in blocked/archived format) for legal and administrative purposes. Administrator registration data is processed under our contracts with schools and legitimate business interests in providing secure, reliable services.
(2) Student Device Data: Schools collect and provide student identification data (name, date of birth, grade level, class, school ID, parent phone number) and authorize EduLock.io to manage the enrollment of student devices for policy enforcement during school hours. Schools act as the Data Controller and remain solely responsible for obtaining all necessary parental consent, complying with applicable laws (including COPPA for children under 13 and FERPA for education records), and informing parents and students about device management software use. EduLock.io acts as a Data Processor on behalf of schools.
For Android devices, EduLock.io collects device identifiers, operating system information, installed app lists, GPS location (for geofencing), and technical data needed for policy enforcement. For iOS devices, EduLock.io receives only device information automatically reported through Apple's MDM protocol in response to management queries, including device identifiers, OS version, battery/storage status, and network information. EduLock.io does NOT actively monitor web browsing, URLs, search queries, or detailed app usage activity.
Data Control and Retention
Schools retain full control over device data collection, retention periods (up to 30 days with immediate deletion available), and can delete student data at any time through the admin dashboard. Device data is retained for 60 days in active format (accessible to schools) and 12 months for analytics and reporting. After deletion requests from verified school administrators, data is removed from active systems within 14 days and from all backups within 15 days of identity confirmation.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
You have the right to request access, correction, erasure, and portability of your personal data, as well as restrict processing or withdraw consent. For administrator data, you can contact us directly at [email protected]. For student data, schools facilitate all requests as the Data Controller. We do not discriminate against anyone exercising these rights. Schools are responsible for verifying the identity of students and parents before submitting deletion requests, and must maintain records of all data requests and deletions.
Data Security and Privacy
All data is processed with encrypted transmission and technical/organizational security measures appropriate to the data's sensitivity and risks. In case of security breaches, we notify affected parties and supervisory authorities without undue delay (within 72 hours if required). We do not sell personal information to third parties and only share data with service providers under strict confidentiality obligations and our documented instructions. For international data transfers, we use EU model clauses and additional safeguards.
Policy Amendments
We may update this Privacy Policy to adapt to legislative or case law developments. We will notify you by posting changes on our website and platform. Continued use of EduLock.io Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance.
For questions about our data practices, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
This section informs school administrators and users of general information regarding data processing by EduLock.io.
1. Data Controller / Business: EduLock.io is operated by Majaz Projects LTD, domiciled at Nof Hagalil, Israel. Majaz Projects LTD is the Data Controller for administrator account registration and service management data. You can contact our Data Protection Officer to send any suggestions, queries, doubts or complaints about personal data, or to access your personal data by writing to: [email protected].
For school enrollment data and student information, schools act as the Data Controller, and EduLock.io acts as a Data Processor.
2. Confidentiality and Disclosure: We treat your personal data with strict confidentiality in accordance with applicable law. However, we disclose any information about you or your use of our Services: (i) in order to comply with the legal obligations we are subject to, (ii) in order to correctly deliver our Services or perform other obligations in accordance with our Terms, (iii) in the event of a sale or change of control of the Company for the purpose of appropriate due diligence actions; or (iv) to our service providers that provide us a service in relation to the data. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to process it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process it for specific purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
3. Data Retention: We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including: (a) the performance of the contract with schools and administrators, (b) satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, (c) following your instructions regarding data collected from devices. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Generally speaking, we will retain your personal data for the period of your subscription (in active format) and 5 years thereafter (blocked), for legal and/or administrative purposes.
4. Service Optimisation: We may process data on an aggregated non-identifiable basis for establishing user general attributes and profiles and share such anonymous information with third-party service providers to improve or promote our Services. We also use your data in a non-identifying and aggregated manner (i.e., dissociated data) to better design our website, software, and services.
5. Anonymised Data for Statistical Purposes: For the purpose of improving our Services and providing sector/segment reports, we may anonymise your personal data and store and process this data on an anonymous basis, even after your account has been closed, indefinitely. The principal purpose is to analyse on an aggregated non-identifiable basis how our Services are used, measuring their effectiveness, and providing general customer service. We may also provide this data (or parts of it) on a fully anonymous aggregate basis to third party business partners, including for conducting academic research and surveys or commercial analytics, and to publish periodic sector or segmented information and reports about behaviour patterns and tendencies.
6. Data Security: We have adopted technical and organisational measures to preserve and protect your personal information from unauthorised use or access and from being altered, lost or misused, taking into account the technologic state of art, the features of the information stored and the risks to which the information is exposed. In case of a security breach, we will take the appropriate measure and will notify you electronically in a timely manner.
7. International Transfers of Data: We use third party technological services for the provision of our EduLock.io Services, whose providers may process your personal data as subprocessors. These entities may be in jurisdictions that generally do not provide adequate safeguards in relation to the processing of personal data. For all entities outside the Economic European Area, we have entered contracts with such entities that do include such safeguards, including the EC model clauses, and implemented additional safeguards in accordance with applicable law, listed in Annex.
For more information about our service providers that carry out international data transfers, please contact [email protected]
8. Data Subject's Rights: In accordance with the applicable data protection law, you have the right to:
School Accountability: For student device data, schools (as Data Controllers) are responsible for exercising all data subject rights on behalf of students and parents. Schools must maintain records of all data deletion requests and confirmations from EduLock.io. EduLock.io provides schools with audit logs detailing all deletions performed.
To exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected] or by sending a letter to Majaz Projects LTD, Nof Hagalil, Israel. For student and parent data subject requests, schools should contact their designated school administrator or submit requests through the admin dashboard.
If you contact us to exercise your rights, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
9. Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete: To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. To designate an authorized agent, please submit a request by emailing us at [email protected].
For student and parent requests: You may make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by emailing your school administrator. The school must then facilitate this request and ensure deletion is completed through the EduLock.io admin dashboard.
You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by emailing us at [email protected].
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:
School Verification Responsibility: Schools are responsible for verifying the identity of students and parents before submitting deletion requests to EduLock.io. Schools must maintain documentation of identity verification and deletion requests.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. However, we will process deletion requests from verified school administrators without delay. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it
10. Response Timing and Format: For Administrator Data (EduLock.io as Data Controller): For US users, we endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within thirty (30) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 30 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. For Student Data (Schools as Data Controllers): Schools are responsible for responding to all student and parent data subject requests within the timeframes required by applicable law (e.g., 30 days under CCPA, 30 days under GDPR, or as required under COPPA and FERPA).
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. Schools are responsible for bearing any reasonable costs associated with fulfilling student and parent data deletion requests, as this is part of their Data Controller obligations.
11. Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described above, and we will not:
12. General: We may amend this Privacy Policy as required to adapt it to future legislative or case law developments.
