Privacy Policy

Key principles

• Each school workspace is completely private and isolated
• Access is role-based and fully auditable
• We only collect data necessary to operate the service
• No student data is collected — ever
• We never sell your data to third parties
• All data is hosted in the United Kingdom

What data we collect

We collect the minimum professional data needed to run the service: your name, school email address, school name, and role. For school verification, we use your school's URN/DfE number. We do not collect student names, personal data, or any information about children.

How we use your data

Your data is used solely to provide and improve the CoverMyClass service. This includes creating your account, managing cover assignments within your school, and communicating service updates. We do not use your data for marketing without explicit consent.

Data retention

We retain your data only for as long as your school uses CoverMyClass. When a school leaves the platform, all associated data is deleted within 30 days. Individual users can request data deletion at any time.

Your rights under GDPR

As a UK data subject, you have the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccurate data, request erasure of your data, restrict processing, data portability, and object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@covermyclass.com.
