KBI Schools takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

Depending on the system involved, security measures may include access controls, authentication, permissions, secure storage, backups, monitoring and other appropriate safeguards.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide our services, maintain appropriate school records, resolve disputes, meet legal or regulatory obligations, or protect our legitimate interests.

Some student, academic, financial or employment records may need to be retained for longer periods because of educational, administrative, legal or historical requirements.

When information is no longer required, appropriate steps will be taken to securely delete, destroy or anonymise it where appropriate.
