Student Data Usage Policy Agreement: At M&A Academy of Caregiving, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy and confidentiality of student data. We understand the importance of using student data solely for the intended purposes and ensuring that it is handled responsibly. This policy agreement outlines our commitment to protect student data and informs all stakeholders about how we collect, use, and disclose student data.

1. Purpose of Data Collection: We collect student data solely for educational purposes, including but not limited to academic assessment, personalized learning, and program administration. We will never use student data for any other purpose without explicit consent or as required by law.
2. Data Collection and Consent: We will collect student data only with the consent of students or legal guardians, or as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. We will clearly communicate the purpose of data collection to parents/guardians and provide them with an opportunity to opt-out if they do not wish to share certain information.
3. Data Security and Confidentiality: We will implement strict security measures to protect student data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel will have access to student data, and they will be bound by confidentiality agreements. We will never sell or share student data with any third parties for commercial purposes.
4. Data Retention: We will retain student data for as long as necessary to fulfill the intended purposes or as required by law. Once the data is no longer needed, we will securely dispose of it in a manner that preserves its confidentiality.
5. Data Access and Correction: Students/guardians have the right to access, review, and request corrections to their student data. We will provide a transparent process for students/guardians to exercise these rights and ensure that any inaccuracies in the data are promptly corrected.
6. Data Breach Notification: In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to student data, we will promptly notify all affected parties, including parents/guardians, and take appropriate steps to mitigate the impact of the breach.
