Privacy Notice

Personal data is provided to or collected by Summatic, the mobile and desktop application, and MathSpire, the mobile and desktop application, hereby referred to as the Service. This data is controlled by Summatic Ltd., Cambridge, United Kingdom and MathSpire Ltd., Cambridge, United Kingom, hereby referred to as the Companies.

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with Personal Data, certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. You are not required to provide the information that we request, but if you choose not to do so, we may be unable to provide you access to the application’s features or respond to any queries you may have.

This information may be:

• Provided to us directly by the User.
• Automatically collected by the application or routed through our Service Providers.
• Collected from other sources.

The Personal Data collected is limited to:

• Email address
• First and last name
• Institution
  
• IP Address
• Cookies and Usage Data

Summatic does not collect “special categories of personal data,” which include race, ethnicity, religion, health, sexuality, or biometric data.

When you access the Service, we may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of device you use, your device unique ID, the IP address of your device, your operating system, the type of Internet browser you use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We will also automatically collect Usage Data necessary to the Companies’ features, including, but not limited to, custom-made homework assignments, student work and results, class names and members, and other feature-specific data.

Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. For example, we use Security Cookies for security purposes upon User login.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

As a provider of educational materials, the Companies are keenly aware of the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the privacy and safety of children using our products.

Though the age at which consent is necessary varies from Country to Country, Users legally categorized as children will be expected to use the Service in the role of Student. However, our system necessitates that registration for the Service as a Student be supervised by an adult, either a parental figure, in the case of individual subscriptions, or a Teacher, in the case of school subscriptions. We will obtain consent from the person with parental responsibility before we collect personal data where it is required by applicable laws and regulations.

If you are a child under the age where parental consent is required in your Country, you should review the terms of this Privacy Notice with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them. If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that personal data as soon as practical.

Based on data protection laws, our legal basis for processing your data will be either:

Legitimate Interest

Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Summatic Ltd aims to provide an A-Level Maths application that reduces teacher workload by saving marking and resourcing time, while improving student engagement and giving maths access to students in schools with limited resources or expertise. The Personal Data collected is necessary for Summatic to provide and improve the Service to which the Users have subscribed.

The Companies may share data with Service Providers we employ to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

The Companies may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• To comply with a legal obligation
• To protect and defend the rights or property of Summatic
