Intellectual Property Rights

Website users such as students and schools own all intellectual property rights in our stored data. Grade Gorilla owns all intellectual property rights in the website pages. Schools and individuals will therefore act as the controllers of the data, and Grade Gorilla the processor of data.

Additional information

All student personal information on tests, including student names and scores, is deleted after 5 years.
Grade Gorilla uses google analytics to track website visitors use of the site. This collects anonymised information about the user such as location, pages visited, and device used. It does not give google analytics access to Grade Gorilla site-specific personal information such as names or email addresses.
We will notify all suscribers / account holders of any important changes to the way we process data and subsequent changes to this policy. This will be done at least 14 days before changes take place.
