What is not deleted, and why
Your child's school record — attendance, grades, coursework and learning progress — belongs to your child's school, not to String. The school is responsible for that data and String stores it on the school's behalf. Deleting your account ends your access to it; it does not delete the school's record.
Retention
Your data is removed from our active systems within 30 days of identity confirmation, and from backups within 90 days. We retain only the minimum required by law.
