At Ednius, we understand the importance of privacy in the digital age, especially in the educational context. Our commitment is simple: to protect the sensitive data of students, educators, and institutions by building privacy into every aspect of our platform. We believe that student information should be treated with utmost care, and we’ve designed Ednius to uphold the highest standards of data security.

Our Approach to Privacy and Compliance

Ednius is designed with privacy at its core, ensuring compliance with major privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). These regulations guide how we collect, store, and handle personal data, ensuring that students’ educational records are always secure.

• GDPR Compliance: We obtain explicit consent for data use, collect only essential information, and provide educators with the right to access or delete their data at any time. Our appointed Data Protection Officer oversees compliance, ensuring that all data handling is done transparently and responsibly.

• FERPA Alignment: We strictly control access to student records, prohibiting sharing without explicit consent. Only authorized individuals have access, and we employ robust technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

How We Protect Your Data

• Data Anonymity: All student data handled by Ednius is fully anonymized. We do not collect any personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or student IDs. Instead, we use anonymous keys provided by the LMS to process data, ensuring that sensitive student identifiers are never accessible to us.

• Data Encryption: All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols, making sure that student information is safe from unauthorized access.

• No Sharing with Third Parties: Unlike consumer AI tools, Ednius never shares student or educator data with third parties. The data processed on our platform remains under the control of the institution and is used solely for its intended educational purposes.

• Separation of Data: We ensure that each institution’s data is isolated from others, maintaining clear boundaries to prevent any risk of unauthorized access across institutions.

• Data Usage Policies: Student data sent to Ednius is not employed for training any AI models. This ensures that sensitive student information is kept secure and is not used beyond its intended scope.

Transparency and Collaboration

We believe in working hand-in-hand with educational institutions to meet their unique data protection needs. Ednius offers customized data residency solutions and complies with stringent regional regulations like British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Our goal is to ensure that your data stays within the boundaries you set, with full transparency in our data handling procedures.
