  • All platform access requires authenticated, organisation-scoped sessions.
  • Regular dependency and security audits are performed.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

  • Active account data — retained for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days after cancellation to allow data export.
  • Student records — retained for the period required by the educational provision and deleted on account closure, subject to any statutory retention obligations.
  • Audit logs — retained for 12 months.
  • Billing records — retained for 7 years to comply with HMRC requirements.

Upon account termination, you may request a full export of your data within 60 days. After this period, all data is securely deleted.

  • Authentication cookies — set by Clerk to maintain your login session. These are essential for the platform to function.
  • CSRF protection tokens — used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or analytics cookies that identify individuals.

As a data subject under UK law, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access — you may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure — you may ask us to delete your data where there is no compelling reason to continue processing it.

  • Right to data portability — you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Rights related to automated decision-making — we do not make automated decisions with legal effects about individuals.

9. Children's Data

MosaicEd is a professional tool used by educational providers to manage records about pupils in their care. Pupils themselves do not directly access the platform. Student data is entered and managed solely by authorised staff of the educational provision.

We process student data under the instruction of the educational provision, which acts as the data controller for that data. Provisions must ensure they have appropriate legal grounds (including parental consent where required) before entering pupil data into the platform.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify account holders by email and display a notice within the platform at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of MosaicEd after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Helpline: 0303 123 1113
