EduJA

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Ohana Jamaica Limited, trading as EduJA ("EduJA", "we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you use eduja.org and our learning platform (together, the "Service"). It applies to students, parents/guardians, teachers, and visitors, wherever you're located — including Jamaica, the UK, and the EU.

Who we are

EduJA is operated by Ohana Jamaica Limited, a company registered in Jamaica (2020), based at 41 Barnett Street, Montego Bay, Jamaica. For data protection purposes, Ohana Jamaica Limited is the "controller" of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at myeduja@gmail.com or WhatsApp +1 (876) 772-4422.

Personal data we collect

  • Account & profile: name, email address, phone number, username, password (stored encrypted/hashed — we never see it in plain text), and an optional profile photo.
  • Academic data: grade level, subjects, lesson progress, practice/assessment results, and any assignments you submit.
  • Payment data: the plan you choose and your chosen payment method (PayPal, bank transfer, remittance, or cash/in-person). We do not collect or store full card numbers ourselves — card payments are handled directly by PayPal.
  • Communications: messages sent through EduJA's in-app chat with teachers, and metadata (duration, participants — not recordings) from voice/video calls made through the platform.
  • Support contact: anything you send us directly by email or WhatsApp.
  • Referral data: your personal referral code, and which referral code (if any) was used when someone you referred signs up.
  • Technical data: IP address, device and browser type, and — only if you've consented to analytics cookies — pages viewed and approximate (city/country-level) location. See our Cookie Policy for details.

How we use your data, and why

We rely on the following legal bases (as recognised under UK/EU GDPR) for processing your data:

  • Performance of a contract — creating and running your account, delivering lessons and assignments, processing payments, and providing customer support.
  • Legitimate interests — keeping the platform secure, preventing fraud or abuse, and improving EduJA based on how it's used.
  • Consent — analytics cookies (see our Cookie Policy), and any marketing communications or advertising we may introduce in future, which you'll always be asked to opt into separately.
  • Legal obligation — keeping financial/transaction records as required for accounting and tax purposes.

Who we share data with

We don't sell personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run EduJA (each processes data under their own agreement/safeguards with us), including:

  • Supabase — database hosting and account authentication
  • Netlify — website and backend function hosting
  • Google Analytics (Google LLC) — usage analytics, only if you've consented
  • PayPal — payment processing
  • Cloudflare — bot/spam protection on our forms
  • Daily.co — infrastructure for in-app voice/video calls
  • WhatsApp (Meta) — only if you choose to contact us or receive your QR/referral link via WhatsApp
  • Groq — powers our optional AI study-help features ("Explain Further" on quiz questions, and AI-assisted practice-question drafting for teachers). We only ever send the quiz/question content itself — never your name, email, account id, or any other personal data.
  • Resend — delivers transactional emails (account notifications, and messages you send us through our Help & Contact or Delete My Account forms) to their intended recipient.

We may also disclose data where required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of EduJA, our users, or others.

International data transfers

EduJA is based in Jamaica, and several of our service providers process data in the United States, the EU/UK, or elsewhere. Where personal data of UK or EU users is transferred outside the UK/EEA, we rely on the safeguards those providers themselves put in place — such as Standard Contractual Clauses or, where applicable, the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep your data

We keep account and academic data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you return. Financial/transaction records are kept for up to 7 years to meet standard accounting and tax obligations. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' own retention settings. You can ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time — see "Your rights" below.

Children's privacy

EduJA serves students in Grades 7–12 — roughly ages 12 to 18 — some of whom are children under applicable data protection law. Where a child is below the age at which they can legally consent to an online service on their own (13 in the UK; 13–16 depending on the country in the EU), a parent or guardian should create and manage the account on the child's behalf, and is responsible for reviewing this policy and agreeing to it. If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal data without your consent, contact us at myeduja@gmail.com and we'll address it promptly, including deleting the data where appropriate. Our AI study-help features (see "Who we share data with" above) are built to send only quiz/question content to our AI provider, Groq — never a student's name, email, or any other identifying information, and any AI-drafted practice questions are reviewed and approved by a teacher before ever being shown to a student.

Your rights

If UK, EU, or Jamaican (Data Protection Act, 2020) law applies to you, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restrict or object to certain processing
  • Receive your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time (for anything based on consent, like analytics cookies), without affecting processing that happened before you withdrew it
  • Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority — the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK, your national Data Protection Authority in the EU, or Jamaica's Office of the Information Commissioner

To exercise any of these rights, email us at myeduja@gmail.com. We'll respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity first.

Deleting your account: visit our dedicated Delete My Account page — it explains exactly what gets removed, what we're legally required to retain, and how to request it. This works whether or not you can currently sign in.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including encrypted connections and access controls — to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep your data safe and to respond quickly if anything goes wrong.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example as EduJA adds new features or expands to new regions. We'll update the "Last updated" date above whenever we do, and for significant changes we'll make a reasonable effort to let registered users know.
