01Introduction
A New Vision in Educational Services and Materials, Inc. (NEVESEM), doing business as Dreyfous (“Dreyfous,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects the privacy of students, parents, and legal guardians.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is accessed, collected, used, stored, protected, and disclosed through the Dreyfous Conecta mobile application (“App”), available for compatible iOS and Android devices.
Dreyfous Conecta is an educational communication application designed to help parents and legal guardians stay informed about their children’s academic activities through integration with Edusystem, Dreyfous’s educational learning management platform.
By using Dreyfous Conecta, users acknowledge the information practices described in this Privacy Policy.
02Purpose of the Application
Dreyfous Conecta provides parents and legal guardians with notifications and information related to their children’s educational activities.
Depending on the features made available by the participating educational institution, notifications may include:
- Assignments and homework.
- Educational activities and learning resources.
- Lessons and coursework assigned by teachers.
- Academic reminders and deadlines.
- School-related announcements and communications.
- Other educational information made available through Edusystem.
The App is intended to support communication between schools and families. It is not designed as a social networking platform or advertising service.
03Access and Authentication
Dreyfous Conecta uses existing Edusystem student credentials for authentication.
Parents and legal guardians access the App using the credentials associated with their child’s Edusystem account. A separate Dreyfous Conecta account is not required.
Authentication is performed through the Edusystem environment, and access to educational information is associated with the authenticated student account.
Parents and legal guardians are responsible for protecting their login credentials and preventing unauthorized access to student information.
Users should access only accounts they are authorized to use.
04Information We Collect and Process
Dreyfous Conecta may access or process information necessary to provide its educational notification services.
4.1 Student Information
Information associated with the authenticated Edusystem account may include:
- Student name or account identifier.
- School, grade level, or assigned academic group.
- Courses, subjects, and assigned lessons.
- Homework, assignments, and educational activities.
- Academic deadlines and related notifications.
- Other educational information made available by the participating institution through Edusystem.
The specific information available depends on the educational institution’s use of Edusystem and the functionality enabled within Dreyfous Conecta.
4.2 Authentication Information
The App processes information required to authenticate users and maintain authorized access to Edusystem services.
This may include account identifiers, authentication credentials, and session information.
4.3 Device and Technical Information
To operate and maintain the App, certain technical information may be processed, including:
- Device type and operating system.
- Application version.
- Push notification tokens.
- Technical error and diagnostic information.
- Network and connection information necessary for application functionality.
4.4 Notification Information
The App processes information required to deliver notifications about educational activities associated with the authenticated student.
Notification information may include the type of activity, relevant course or subject, assignment details, and associated dates.
05How We Use Information
Information accessed or processed through Dreyfous Conecta is used for educational and operational purposes, including:
- Authenticating authorized users through Edusystem.
- Displaying educational information associated with a student account.
- Delivering notifications about assignments, lessons, and school activities.
- Supporting communication between educational institutions and families.
- Maintaining application functionality, reliability, and security.
- Diagnosing technical issues and providing customer support.
- Preventing unauthorized access or misuse.
- Complying with applicable legal obligations.
Dreyfous Conecta is not intended to use student information for behavioral advertising, commercial profiling, or the sale of personal information.
06Push Notifications
Dreyfous Conecta uses push notifications to inform parents and legal guardians about educational activities associated with their child’s Edusystem account.
Notifications may be delivered using notification services provided by Apple and Google, depending on the device and operating system.
Users may manage notification permissions through their device settings.
Disabling push notifications may prevent users from receiving real-time alerts but does not necessarily prevent access to information available within the App.
Because notifications may appear on a device’s lock screen, users should consider their device’s notification privacy settings to prevent unintended disclosure of student information.
07Children’s Privacy and Educational Information
Dreyfous recognizes the importance of protecting information relating to minors.
Dreyfous Conecta is designed primarily for use by parents and legal guardians to access educational information associated with their children.
The App is not intended to independently solicit personal information directly from children for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes.
Student information is accessed and processed only as necessary to provide the educational services described in this policy, support participating institutions, and fulfill applicable legal obligations.
Where applicable, Dreyfous handles educational information in accordance with relevant privacy requirements, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), to the extent those laws apply to the services and information involved.
Participating educational institutions remain responsible for determining authorized access to student records and administering student accounts under their applicable policies and legal obligations.
08Information Sharing and Disclosure
Dreyfous does not sell or rent personal information collected or processed through Dreyfous Conecta.
Information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary for the following purposes:
Educational institutions: To support authorized educational services, account administration, and communication involving students and their families.
Technology service providers: To operate application infrastructure, authentication systems, notification delivery, hosting, security, and technical support, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Legal compliance: When disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or other valid legal process.
Security and protection: When reasonably necessary to investigate misuse, protect the security of the App, or safeguard users and systems.
Any disclosure of student educational information must be consistent with applicable legal requirements and the authorized purposes for which the information was provided.
09Data Security
Dreyfous implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
These safeguards may include secure communication protocols, access controls, authentication procedures, and security monitoring.
Although Dreyfous takes reasonable measures to protect information, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are encouraged to protect their devices, maintain the confidentiality of their credentials, and report suspected unauthorized access.
10Data Retention
Information processed through Dreyfous Conecta is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App’s services, maintain security, fulfill legitimate operational needs, and comply with applicable legal requirements.
Educational records maintained within Edusystem may be subject to separate retention policies established by the participating educational institution.
Removing or uninstalling Dreyfous Conecta does not automatically delete the student’s Edusystem account or educational records.
11Access, Correction, and Deletion of Information
Parents and legal guardians may contact Dreyfous to request information about personal data processed through Dreyfous Conecta, including requests for access, correction, or deletion where applicable.
Requests involving student educational records or account information administered by a school may need to be directed to the participating educational institution.
Because Dreyfous Conecta uses existing Edusystem credentials, deletion of information associated specifically with the App does not necessarily result in deletion of the student’s Edusystem account or academic records.
Dreyfous will review requests in accordance with applicable law, contractual obligations, and educational record retention requirements.
Privacy-related requests may be submitted to edusystem@dreyfous.com.
12Third-Party Services
Dreyfous Conecta may rely on third-party technology providers to support application distribution, notification delivery, hosting, and related operational services.
These providers may process limited technical information necessary to deliver their services.
Apple and Google may also process information independently in connection with their respective app stores, operating systems, and notification services, subject to their own privacy policies.
Dreyfous is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party services outside its control.
13International Data Processing
Information processed through Dreyfous Conecta may be stored or processed using technology infrastructure located outside the user’s country or territory.
Where applicable, Dreyfous will take reasonable measures to ensure that such processing is consistent with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
14Changes to This Privacy Policy
Dreyfous may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in application functionality, operational practices, legal requirements, or security measures.
When updates are made, the revised policy will be published with an updated effective date.
Where required by applicable law, Dreyfous will provide additional notice or obtain appropriate consent before implementing material changes to its information practices.
Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
