Data & hosting

Individual trials

If you use trackME as an individual teacher (e.g. during the public beta or as a sole user), we host your data.

• Data is stored using Google Firebase/Firestore, with data residency in Melbourne, Australia.
• Our Privacy Policy and Data Retention Policy apply in full.
• We act as the host and processor of your data; you retain your rights under the Australian Privacy Principles.

You can export or delete your data at any time via the app Settings.

School pilots

For school pilots, a different model applies. The consultancy approach prioritises school ownership and control of data.

• Schools retain full ownership of their student information.
• Where possible, data is held in school-hosted or school-controlled environments (e.g. school-managed cloud or local infrastructure), not centrally by the consultant.
• The consultant does not retain copies of school data; systems act as workflow tools rather than central data warehouses.

A detailed Education Technology Consultancy — Data Governance, Privacy and Security Overview document is available for school leadership, IT, and governance. It covers data minimisation, privacy-by-design, hosting options, and roles and responsibilities.

If you are evaluating a school pilot, we can provide this overview on request. Contact us using the details below.
