Privacy Policy

SchoolMatch takes your privacy seriously. This document explains how we handle your data with care.

1. Introduction

At SchoolMatch we understand that choosing a school is an important step. The privacy of you and your child is essential. We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws and regulations.

2. Data we collect

Quiz data

We store your answers to the SchoolMatch quiz to generate a tailored advice profile.

Child data

Optional fields such as your child's first name and specific notes about learning needs.

Technical data

Anonymous usage data such as browser type and navigation paths to optimise the website. IP addresses are anonymised immediately.

3. Why we collect this data

"Our primary goal is to provide an indicative, independent school recommendation tailored to the unique qualities of your child."

We also use aggregated, non-identifiable data to:

  • Improve the algorithms of our matching engine.
  • Analyse regional trends in educational needs.

4. Data retention

We do not store your data longer than strictly necessary. If you complete the quiz without creating a profile, data is only stored temporarily in your session. Only when you explicitly choose “Save results” or create an account is your data stored securely and encrypted in our database.

5. Your rights

Right of access and correction
Right to be forgotten (erasure)
