If the information was collected directly from the student with parental consent, we will assist the student or parent in accessing and correcting such information, either directly or by helping the educational institution meet its obligations under applicable laws.

Security of Student PII
Ayat Academy maintains a comprehensive security program that is designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This program includes administrative, technological, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. We take reasonable steps to protect against risks such as unauthorized access, use, or unintended disclosure of Student PII, both from external threats (e.g., cyberattacks) and internal risks (e.g., inadvertent exposure or unauthorized access by employees).
Our security measures include encryption, secure data storage, access controls, and staff training to ensure that Student PII is handled securely and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Vendors & Subcontractors Handling Student PII
Ayat Academy requires that any vendors or subcontractors with whom Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is shared in order to deliver educational services are obligated to follow the same commitments for handling Student PII as outlined in this Privacy Policy. These vendors or subcontractors are bound by contractual obligations to ensure that any Student PII they handle is collected, used, and shared in compliance with our privacy commitments and applicable laws. We will ensure that such vendors or subcontractors do not use or disclose Student PII in any manner inconsistent with the terms outlined in this policy.

In the event of a merger or acquisition, Ayat Academy will ensure that the successor entity commits to maintaining the same privacy protections outlined in this Privacy Policy for the Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collected. If the successor entity intends to use or disclose the Student PII in a manner inconsistent with the commitments in this policy, Ayat Academy will notify the account holders (i.e., the institution/agency, or the parent/student when the information was collected directly from the student with parental consent) and offer them an opportunity to opt in to the new uses or sharing of the Student PII. If they do not opt in, Ayat Academy or its successor entity will delete or de-identify the Student PII.
