Children can only view their daily check-in and no previous data.

Class teachers can see check-ins and meeting requests for the classes they own.

School administrators can see data for their own school.

SchoolBudi support staff access data only when required for support, and access is logged.

Schools can also archive or delete pupils, classes, or their full school record at any time through the platform or by contacting us.

All data is stored in the United Kingdom using a managed cloud database provider.
