Security

Student data, treated like it belongs to the family - because it does.

Chaimount holds attendance, grades, contact details, and counselor notes. That's some of the most personal data a school ever writes down. Below is exactly how we treat it, without overclaiming.

Foundations

The controls in place today

Encryption in transit and at rest

TLS 1.2 or higher for every connection, AES-256 for data at rest, keys rotated on a scheduled cadence.

Role-based access

Teachers, administrators, and counselors see different slices of the same student record. The counselor note is not in the class gradebook.

Per-school isolation

Every school lives in its own logical partition. One school cannot see another, even by accident.

Encrypted backups

Automated encrypted backups with defined retention, and a documented restore procedure.

Audit trail

Sensitive actions - grade edits, access changes, data exports - carry an immutable log entry.

Data export and deletion

The school can export its data, and can request deletion of a former student per the school policy and the applicable law.

Access model

Who sees what, and why

Teacher

Scoped to assigned classes

  • Enter and edit grades in own classes
  • Mark daily attendance
  • See early-warning flags on own students
  • See gradebooks of other teachers
  • View counselor case notes
Administrator

Whole-school visibility

  • View the whole-school health grid
  • Configure roles, timetables, and cadences
  • Export school data
  • See counselor case notes unless explicitly granted
Counselor

Case-scoped view

  • See flagged students assigned to them
  • Record intervention notes privately
  • Coordinate with teachers on interventions
  • See gradebooks outside their case load
Data lifecycle

What is collected, kept, and eventually removed

What is collected

Only what the school needs to run: admissions details, attendance, grades, communication with parents. No location tracking, no browsing behavior, no third-party ad data.

How long it is kept

Active-student data is kept for as long as the student is enrolled. Alumni records follow the school retention policy the administrator configures.

Where it lives

Data is hosted with reputable cloud infrastructure, in regions the school chooses at onboarding. It does not travel outside those regions without explicit consent.

How it is removed

On offboarding, the school receives a full data export. After the export window, all school data is purged from primary storage and expires from backups on the documented schedule.

Compliance

Current posture, stated honestly

  • In place today: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+), encryption at rest (AES-256), role-based access control, per-school data isolation, audit logs on sensitive actions.
  • On the roadmap: third-party penetration testing report, formal certification against a recognised information-security standard. When these land, this page will say so, and not before.
