Last Updated: December 2025

This School-Level Privacy Policy describes how your School manages, protects, and controls student, teacher, staff, and parent data while using the NextGen Pro School ERP System and Mobile Applications Service.

NextGen Pro School provides the technology platform, but the School is the primary owner and controller of all student and staff data.

Use of the Service indicates the School’s agreement to this Policy.

1. Data Ownership

5. Student Privacy & Legal Compliance

The system is designed to support compliance with:

✔ COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)

The app collects data only from schools or parents, not directly from children.

✔ FERPA-like protections

Although FERPA applies to US schools, we follow similar principles:

Student records belong to the School
Parents have the right to view student records
Data must be kept secure

✔ GDPR Guidelines for Minors (where applicable)

Data processing must be lawful and appropriate
Sensitive information is protected
Only required data is stored

7. Data Retention

The School determines how long data is retained.

Typical retention:

Documents and uploads: until removed by School staff

If a school terminates its subscription, data can be:

✔ Exported by the school
✔ Deleted securely upon official request

8. Data Deletion Requests

Parents, students, or staff may request deletion of personal information.

Requests must be submitted to the School administration first, because:

Deletion is completed within 7–30 business days, depending on School policy.
