Privacy Policy

How SkoolZoom handles personal data, and the choices you have.

Last updated: 28 August 2026

SkoolZoom is a school management platform. Institutions use it to hold records about their students, families and staff. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do about it.

Who controls the data

There are two distinct relationships, and the difference matters:

  • Data your institution stores in SkoolZoom, such as student records, attendance, fees and payroll. Your institution is the data controller. We process that data on its instructions and do not use it for our own purposes.
  • Data you give us directly, such as a demo request, a contact form or a newsletter sign-up. For that, SkoolZoom is the controller.

If you are a parent or student asking about your own records, your institution is the right first contact: they decide what is held and for how long.

What we collect from this website

  • What you send us. Name, email, phone, institution name and size, and anything you write in a message.
  • How you found us. Referring site and campaign parameters, so we know which of our efforts actually help institutions find us.
  • How the site is used. Pages viewed and actions taken, recorded first-party. This runs only where you have allowed analytics cookies.
  • Approximate location. Derived from your IP address at country level, so we can tell you honestly whether we serve your region yet.

Cookies and your choice

Necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off. Analytics, functional and marketing cookies are optional.

Where the law requires prior consent, which includes the EU, EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland, those optional cookies stay off until you allow them and we ask before setting any. Elsewhere they are on by default and you may turn them off at any time by contacting us at info@skoolzoom.com.

Declining optional cookies does not restrict any part of this site.

Why we use it

  • To answer your enquiry and arrange a demonstration.
  • To understand which markets we should support next.
  • To improve the site. Knowing where visitors give up tells us what to fix.
  • To meet legal and accounting obligations.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate, such as hosting, email delivery and payment processing, and only what each needs. Where you have allowed marketing cookies, we may send a hashed, non-reversible identifier to advertising platforms to measure whether a campaign worked. Without that consent, nothing is sent.

Where it is held

Data is held on managed infrastructure with access controls, encryption in transit and regular backups. Where data is transferred across borders, we apply safeguards appropriate to the transfer.

If your institution is subject to data residency rules, contact us before purchase so we can tell you plainly whether we can meet them today. We would rather lose a sale than agree to a requirement we cannot honour.

How long we keep it

Enquiry and lead records are kept while the enquiry is live and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted or anonymised. Analytics events are kept in aggregate. Data your institution stores in the platform is retained per its agreement with us and deleted on request when that agreement ends.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Write to info@skoolzoom.com and we will respond within the period your law requires.

Security

Access is restricted to staff who need it, transport is encrypted, and administrative actions are logged. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise, but if a breach affects you, we will tell you.

Children

This website is aimed at institutions, not children. Student records inside the platform belong to the institution, which is responsible for the consent and safeguarding rules that apply to them.

Changes

If we change this policy materially we will update the date above and, where the change affects you, tell you directly.
