Privacy Policy

Who owns your data?

When you use the RoomQuest site, you own and control your data, including data relating to your clients. We do not ask clients directly for their data, but users may do so, for example, through the setting of admin and the creation of property. You should ask for permission before you collect this data and delete it when appropriate to do so.

We license RoomQuest to both User and creator. We do not license RoomQuest to User and require credit card details and/or a school purchase order to subscribe to our service.

We consider the data controller and owner to be the individual user (e.g. a User) rather than any corporate body that might employ the individual. Therefore, we will not grant access to data made on behalf of individuals, unless the corporate body have contracted with us for the provision of the service.

 

 

Your data

RoomQuest provides a personalized experience for creators to use our site.

 

We recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone to keep your data secure. We will never ask you for your password when contacting you by phone or email. RoomQuest automatically logs users out after one hour of inactivity if they are logged in as an individual user. When you have finished using RoomQuest, we recommend that you log out. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account information if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place such as a library.

 

Creator users

 

RoomQuest enables creators to create and set up their own account. This allows creators to create their own resources, share them with other creators (giving us a license to use the resource) and assign them to Users. We ask creator users for their title, first name, last name, email address, username and password, with the collection of their role and subject interests as optional. We may also collect financial information, including credit card information, for the processing of subscriptions.

 

At all times, within the definition of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the user (creator or school) retains the status of Data Controller for the data stored on our cloud service. The data obtained from the Users always remains in the ownership of the platform, or that of the individual creator users.

 

Users

 

We do not provide user accounts to Users or ask them to provide us with their contact details.

– admin may set security settings that collect the User’s name and response to questions

– user-created activities may include annoucement or report which collect the User’s name and score

Users should ensure that in collecting such information they have obtained permission from whoever is completing the report or feedback activity (and if necessary, parental permission).
