We use subprocessors to provide the app:

We do not sell personal information. Data may be shared when required by law or to protect the security and integrity of the service.

- Files: used only when users explicitly choose files to upload or choose a location to save downloaded files.

Data is retained for as long as needed to operate school workflows, maintain records, and meet legal/accounting obligations. Retention periods may vary by school policy and applicable law.
7. Security
- Authenticated access controls are enforced for data operations.
- Role-based access is applied in application logic and workflow approvals.
- Data is transmitted over encrypted channels supported by platform providers.
8. Children and Student Data
Kendiel is intended for school administration. Student information can include data relating to minors and is handled as educational record data under the school's authority. Schools using Kendiel are responsible for providing required notices and obtaining any needed consents.
