Privacy Policy

We collect information that you provide directly when registering for the Pathways Challenge, including your name, email address, date of birth, school name, and country of residence. For student participants, we also collect parental or guardian contact information as required for consent. We may also collect usage data such as pages visited, time spent on the platform, and quiz or assessment responses.

The information we collect is used to operate and improve the Pathways Challenge platform, manage competition registrations and results, communicate with participants and their parents or guardians, ensure fair participation and prevent fraud, and generate anonymized analytics to improve the educational experience. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

The Pathways Challenge is designed for students aged 12 to 15. We take the protection of minors’ data very seriously. All student accounts require verified parental or guardian consent before activation. Personal data of minors is stored securely with encryption at rest and in transit. Access to student data is restricted to authorized administrators only. Parents or guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child’s data at any time.

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences on the platform. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. The platform will function with essential cookies only, though some features may be limited.

We use trusted third-party services to operate the platform, including hosting providers, authentication services, and analytics tools. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to provide their services to us. We do not share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to or restrict certain processing of your data, and withdraw consent at any time. Parents and guardians may exercise these rights on behalf of their children. To make a request, please contact us using the information below.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your data rights, please contact us at info@pathwayschallenge.com. We aim to respond to all requests within 30 days.
