EduKLOC - What do we do with information about you?
What we do
Kinewell Energy provides software that can help energy companies and engineers plan where to put electrical cables connecting wind farms out at sea.
This can be a tricky task, deciding how to make the best possible layout to prevent electricity loss and reduce risks, while using as little cable as possible!
We have created a learning tool app so that you can have a go at designing cable layouts and play other educational games . This will allow you to try to tackle some of the challenges that energy companies and engineers face.
Your teacher, session leader or event organiser has signed up to our platform and has provided you with a link so you can access our EduKLOC app.
What information do we collect?
So that you can use our app, we will collect the following types of information about you:
- your name/or the name you give your teacher, session leader or event organiser when you create your session ID;
- the cable layout you design using our app; and
- the results of the Pythagoras game and other educational games we run through the app
We will never use this information to make decisions about you based on that information.
How are we allowed to use your information?
The law in England allows us to use your information where we have a legitimate interest to do so. The information we hold about you tells us your name, the cable layout you created or the answers you provided to any of the educational games you played through our app. We consider we have a legitimate interest in processing that information and consider this overrides any other rights you may have.
How is your information used and who will we share it with?
Our app allows you to design a cable layout and to play other educational games, like the Pythagoras game. It will store the information you provide and link it to you. Once you've created your design, we will share this data, with your teacher, session leader or event organiser. We'll do the same with the results of any of the other educational games you play in the app. They will use this information to discuss your results with you and to help you think about how logic can help solve problems in the world today.
How long will we keep your information?
We will keep your name and results for one week. After that we will delete your information and it will no longer be accessible from the app by your teacher, session leader or event organiser. We will keep an anonymised record of certain statistical information about the games which can be played on the app and the way users play them. This will include information such as the number of people who have successfully submitted a result to a game they play on the app/ cable layout. We'll delete everything else after one week.
Security
We know how important it is that we keep your personal information secure and protected. We use up to date security methods to make sure your personal information stays safe.
