Your school's data, guarded properly.
Pupils' records, parents' details, staff files and fee payments are among the most sensitive things a school holds. Here is how EduLedga protects them, in plain English.
The short answer
Your school owns its data and decides how it is used. EduLedga processes it on your school's instructions, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA). Each person sees only what their role allows, changes are recorded in an audit trail, and your school can export its data from admin settings. EduLedga's AI drafting features use DeepSeek, which we list as a sub-processor, and teachers review AI drafts before they are used. EduLedga does not use pupil data to train AI models. Our Data Protection Officer is Ajay Chukuniku Daniel, at privacy@eduledga.com.
Your school decides. We follow your instructions.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who owns the school's data? | Your school. |
| Who decides what is collected and why? | Your school, as data controller. |
| What does EduLedga do with it? | We store and process it to run the services your school uses, on your school's instructions. |
| Who answers parents' requests to see or correct data? | Your school, with tools in EduLedga to help. We support you as your processor. |
| Is it written down? | Yes, in our Data Processing Agreement. → /legal/data-processing-agreement |
EduLedga is the controller only for its own business data, such as enquiries sent to us and demo sign-ups. That is covered by our Privacy Policy. → /legal/privacy
Everyone sees what they need, and nothing they shouldn't.
Every person in EduLedga has their own login and a role, from proprietor and director to teacher, parent and student. A role decides what that person can see and do. Schools can also create custom roles with exactly the permissions they choose.
- A teacher sees the classes and subjects they teach.
- A parent sees only their own children.
- A bursar works with fees, and cannot download the full school data export.
- A director sees every campus in the group; each campus team sees its own school.
A record of who changed what, and when.
EduLedga records every change made in your school: who made it and when. If a score is edited, a fee is adjusted or a setting changes, your administrators can see it. This protects your staff as much as your records, because there is never any doubt about what happened.
Your data controls, in your admin settings.

If your school leaves EduLedga, export your data first, then ask for deletion.
Clear responsibilities for consent.
Extra care for children's records.
Most of the people in a school's records are children, and the NDPA gives children's data extra protection. EduLedga does not market to children. Using a child's photo needs separate, optional parental consent, which your school collects. Our demo schools, BluePark and Discovery, contain only made-up people.
Card details never touch EduLedga.
EduLedga uses Paystack to collect fees. Parents enter their payment details on Paystack's secure checkout, so EduLedga never sees or stores card numbers. Every payment is recorded against the student, with a receipt for the parent.
AI that drafts. People decide.
EduLedga uses AI to save teachers and school leaders time: drafting lesson notes from the curriculum, suggesting report-card comments, helping students revise, and highlighting patterns in school data. In every case a person stays in charge. A teacher reviews, edits and approves every lesson note and comment before it reaches parents or students.
EduLedga is hosted with Hostinger, on servers in France. EduLedga uses Paystack to collect fees. Our full list of sub-processors, with what each does and where, is on our sub-processors page, and our Privacy Policy explains how data is protected when it is stored outside Nigeria.
The technical basics, done right.
Encryption in transit
All traffic between your browser and EduLedga, including each school's own web address, is encrypted with HTTPS.
Backups
Your school's database and uploaded files are backed up every night, encrypted and stored off-server in the European Union. We keep seven daily and four weekly copies, up to 35 days.
Personal logins
Every person signs in with their own account, so nobody shares a password. When a staff member leaves, remove their account and their access ends at once.
Staff access
EduLedga staff open a school's account only to resolve a support request, investigate a security issue or comply with the law. Each such access is recorded and limited to what is needed.
If you leave, your data leaves with you.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who owns the data? | Your school. |
| Can we export it? | Yes. An authorised administrator can download a full workbook of your school's data from admin settings. |
| Does export cost extra? | No. Export is free. |
| What happens when we leave? | Export your data, then ask us to delete it. You have 30 days after your subscription ends to export, and we delete your school's data within 90 days of termination, and from backups as they expire. |
We tell you, quickly and plainly.
If we discover a security incident that affects your school's data, we will tell your school, explain what happened and what we are doing about it, and help you meet your own duties under the NDPA. We will do this without undue delay, so your school has time to act.
