Collection and processing of biometric data, including facial recognition information, requires explicit written consent from parents, legal guardians, or authorized educational representatives.

Data Retention

Facial recognition data and biometric templates are retained only for as long as the student is enrolled in the educational institution or as required by applicable laws. Upon request or upon completion of enrollment, biometric data will be permanently deleted within 30 days, unless retention is required by law or for legitimate legal purposes.
