Data Protection
Information for schools, academy trusts and data protection leads considering or using ReadRight Pro.
Roles
Schools and trusts normally act as Controller for pupil data. ReadRight Pro acts as Processor for that school-controlled data, processing it on the school's documented instructions.
How pupil information is used and protected
- ReadRight Pro uses authenticated staff accounts and organisation/school access controls.
- Pupil information is used to provide reading assessment, reporting and progress tracking.
- ReadRight Pro follows data-minimisation principles and asks only for the pupil information needed to deliver the service.
- Raw reading audio is intended for temporary processing rather than permanent pupil voice archiving.
- AI-derived outputs support teacher judgement rather than replace it.
- Stripe handles payment processing separately from pupil assessment data.
- ReadRight Pro does not sell pupil data and does not use pupil information for behavioural advertising.
What schools should not enter
Schools should not enter unnecessary safeguarding, medical or otherwise unrelated sensitive information into ReadRight Pro. The standard service does not require it.
Cookies and tracking
ReadRight Pro uses cookies and browser storage only where necessary for authentication, security and core operation. No advertising or behavioural tracking technologies are intentionally used.
