Security safeguards are designed to be proportionate to the sensitivity of student information being protected.

Math Journey is committed to transparency regarding where student information is stored and processed.

Where possible, student information will be stored and processed within Canada using secure data infrastructure.

If any information is processed outside of Canada, Math Journey will ensure that appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards are in place and will disclose such arrangements to the applicable school board.

Math Journey retains personal information only for as long as necessary to provide educational services, satisfy contractual obligations with schools or school boards, comply with applicable laws, or resolve legitimate operational requirements.
