User Anonymisation on CENTURY

User Anonymisation on CENTURY

What is anonymisation?

Anonymisation means that all personal identifiable information (PII) for an individual is removed from the platform. The underlying activity data remains, however it is impossible to any longer associate it with an individual student, and it will remain for analytical purposes only.

Can I have access to user information prior to anonymisation?

Yes, you are entitled to have a one-off download of user information, including student usage and results information. You can do this by completing this form.

Can I reverse anonymisation?

No, after a 30-day grace period, the PII will be permanently deleted from the platform and is irretrievable. This is to comply with our legal obligations only to hold data for which we have the correct permission.

Who is responsible for user management?

As the data controller, schools/colleges/organisations are responsible for ensuring that the personal information of users is accurate and up to date. Each school/college/organisation should have a Data Protection Officer to manage this.

Whose permission do I need?

We need the permission of the Data Protection Officer and the Headteachers/ Principal to proceed with anonymisations.

How can I remove users?

Please inform us by contacting your account manager or support@century.tech if you wish to remove any users and they will support you to do this.

Can I anonymise users at other times?

Yes, you can request users to be anonymised at any time by contacting your account manager or support@century.tech.
