We implement robust technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect student data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. These measures include encryption, secure data storage, access controls, regular security audits, and staff training.

We retain student personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.

If your account is managed by a school or teacher, data retention may also be governed by the policies of your educational institution.

9. International Data Transfers

Quizva is based in Canada, and student data is primarily stored and processed in Canada. If we transfer data outside of Canada (for example, to a trusted service provider), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with Canadian privacy laws.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, as required by law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at privacy@quizva.com so we can take appropriate action.

For students under the age of majority, we may require parental or guardian consent for certain data collection and use practices. We encourage parents and guardians to review this Policy and our main Privacy Policy with their children.
