3. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

4. How We Share Information

• Service providers: vendors that help us host, secure, deliver, and maintain services (for example, backend infrastructure and form processing).

5. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including service operation, account management, safety, and legal compliance. Retention periods may vary by data type, feature usage, and legal requirements. We may retain limited records where required to resolve disputes, enforce terms, or meet legal obligations.

6. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users should use strong passwords, protect account credentials, and report suspicious activity.

7. Student and Minor Users

Class Connect is intended for school communities. If you are under the age required in your region to consent to data processing, you may need parent/guardian and/or school authorization according to applicable law. We may apply age-appropriate safety controls and may remove or restrict accounts/content where required.

8. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website and app may include third-party links and integrations (such as social media links, infrastructure services, and content delivery services). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before using third-party services.

9. International Data Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, where data protection laws may differ. Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent.
