Ownership of Data

All Student and Teacher data belongs to the School or educational institution.

Bonocle processes this data as a service provider on behalf of the School.

Children’s Privacy (COPPA and FERPA)

Schools are responsible for obtaining any required parental or guardian consent under applicable laws, including COPPA in the United States and PIPEDA in Canada.

Bonocle uses trusted third-party service providers such as Microsoft Azure solely for hosting and infrastructure purposes.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no system is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
