1. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

The UK General Data Protection Regulation grants you a comprehensive set of rights over your personal data. Below is a detailed explanation of each right and how it applies to your use of TrueVIQ.

Right of Access (Subject Access Request)

You can request a complete copy of all personal data we hold about you and your children. This includes account information, learning progress data, session history, and any other data associated with your account. We will provide this in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold about you or your children is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. You can update most information directly through your account settings, or contact us for changes that require our assistance.

Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten")

You can request that we delete all personal data we hold about you and your children. Upon receiving a valid erasure request, we will delete your data within 30 days, except where we have a legal obligation to retain certain records (e.g., financial transaction records).

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to temporarily stop processing your data while we resolve a concern. For example, if you dispute the accuracy of your data or have objected to processing, you can request restriction while we investigate.

Right to Data Portability

You can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (such as JSON or CSV) and have it transferred to another service provider where technically feasible. This applies to data you have provided to us and that we process based on consent or contract.

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests. You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing at any time.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Our adaptive learning system personalises content to support your child's learning, but no automated decisions are made that have legal or significant consequences. You may request human review of any automated assessment at any time.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we process your data based on consent (such as marketing communications), you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew consent. You can withdraw consent through your account settings or by contacting us directly.

2. Children's Rights

Children's personal data receives enhanced protection under UK GDPR and the ICO Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code). As TrueVIQ serves children aged 9-11, we apply the highest standards of data protection for young users.

  • Parental Exercise of Rights: Parents and guardians may exercise all GDPR rights on behalf of their children. This includes access requests, rectification, erasure, and data portability for any child profiles linked to their account.
  • Enhanced Data Minimisation: We collect only the absolute minimum data needed for children to use the platform — first name, year group, exam type, and chosen avatar. No surnames, dates of birth, school names, or photographs are collected.
  • No Commercial Profiling: Children's learning data is used exclusively to support their educational progress. It is never used for marketing, advertising, or commercial profiling.
  • Privacy by Default: The most protective privacy settings are applied automatically to all child profiles. No parental action is required to enable maximum protection.
  • Best Interests Assessment: When making decisions about how we handle children's data, the best interests of the child are our primary consideration, in line with the ICO Children's Code.

✓ Our commitment: Children's data is never sold, shared for marketing purposes, or used in any way that is not directly beneficial to the child's learning experience. See our Safeguarding Policy for further details on how we protect young users.

3. How to Exercise Your Rights

Exercising your GDPR rights is straightforward. Follow these steps:

1

Submit Your Request

Email privacy@trueviq.co.uk with the subject line "GDPR Rights Request" and specify which right you wish to exercise.

2

Include Relevant Details

Provide the email address associated with your account, your full name, and details of your request. If exercising rights on behalf of a child, include the child's first name and your relationship to them.

3

Identity Verification

To protect your data from unauthorised access, we may ask you to verify your identity. This typically involves confirming details only the account holder would know. We will never ask for excessive documentation.

4

Receive Our Response

We will acknowledge your request promptly and respond substantively within 30 calendar days. For complex or multiple requests, this period may be extended by up to 60 additional days (90 days total), in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons within the initial 30-day period.

✓ No fee for most requests. We will not charge a fee for exercising your rights in most circumstances. If a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (particularly if repetitive), we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act, but we will always explain our reasons.

4. Our Legal Bases for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. The table below sets out the purposes for which we process data, the legal basis we rely on, and the corresponding right available to you.

5. Data Processors and International Transfers

We use a limited number of trusted third-party processors to operate our platform. Each processor is bound by a Data Processing Agreement and must meet UK GDPR standards.

Where data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on UK adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the ICO. You may request copies of the relevant safeguards by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

6. Data Protection Impact Assessments

We conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) as required by UK GDPR Article 35, particularly for any processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms.

Given that our platform processes children's personal data, we take a proactive approach to DPIAs:

  • New Features: Every new feature that involves children's data undergoes a DPIA before deployment
  • Third-Party Integrations: Any new data processor or integration is assessed for impact on data protection before being adopted
  • Adaptive Learning: Our personalised learning algorithms have been assessed to ensure they do not produce unfair or discriminatory outcomes
  • Regular Reviews: Existing DPIAs are reviewed periodically and updated when there are material changes to processing activities

✓ Children's data always triggers enhanced review. We treat any processing of children's data as high-risk by default, ensuring the most rigorous assessment process is applied.

7. Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach, we are committed to acting swiftly and transparently in accordance with UK GDPR Articles 33 and 34.

  • Supervisory Authority Notification: We will notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach that is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms
  • Individual Notification: Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you directly without undue delay
  • Children's Data Priority: Breaches involving children's data are treated with the highest urgency and priority in our incident response procedures
  • Remediation: We will provide clear information about the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, and the measures we have taken or propose to take to address it

8. Supervisory Authority

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your data or responded to a rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority.
