Data Retention & Deletion

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Our Approach

We retain data for as long as it's needed to provide Model B to your school — no longer than that by default, and never for purposes beyond operating the platform.

While Your Account Is Active

Data CategoryHow Long It's Kept
Account & sign-in informationFor as long as the associated account exists
Student recordsRetained while active; records are preserved (not immediately erased) when a student leaves, to maintain accurate historical dismissal and operational records for your school — school administrators can permanently delete an individual student record directly within Model B at any time
Daily operational records (dismissal, attendance)Retained for your school's ongoing operational and historical reference
Requests, assist logs, and incident records (including any student associations)Retained for your school's ongoing operational and historical reference; because these records may identify students in connection with specific incident types, your school can request deletion of individual records at any time
Uploaded documents (lesson plans, emergency plans)Retained while the associated account/module is active

When Your School's Relationship With Model B Ends

We delete your school's data from our active systems no later than 60 days after your relationship with Model B ends, unless a longer period is required by law. Your school may also request deletion of specific data during an active relationship, subject to what's necessary to continue providing the service in the meantime.

Backups

We maintain automated, encrypted backups for disaster-recovery purposes, retained on a rolling 30-day basis. Because backups operate on their own independent schedule, a backup copy taken shortly before a deletion could persist for up to 30 additional days after your data is removed from our active systems, before being automatically and permanently overwritten. We disclose this rather than let our deletion commitment read as more absolute than it actually is.

Exporting Your Data

If your school needs to export its data — whether for your own records or in connection with ending your relationship with Model B — reach out and we'll help facilitate that.
