1. Who We Are
The Business School is operated by TBS Education Ltd Oy, a company registered in Finland. Our simulation platform is designed for educational use in schools and universities. Contact: sakari.laajoki@gmail.com
2. What Data We Collect
We collect minimal data to operate the simulation:
- Teachers: Name, email address, school name (provided during registration or pilot sign-up).
- Students: First name or nickname only (entered when joining a session via PIN code). No email, no account creation required.
- Session data: In-game decisions, scores, and team performance data generated during simulations.
- Technical data: Browser type, device type, and IP address (for security and service delivery).
3. How We Use Your Data
- To deliver and operate the simulation platform
- To generate performance reports for teachers
- To improve our product and user experience
- To communicate with teachers about their account and pilot programme
We do not use student data for marketing. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for advertising purposes.
4. Data Storage and Security
Data is stored securely using industry-standard cloud infrastructure (Neon PostgreSQL, Netlify). All data transmission is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. Session data is stored on servers within the EU or with GDPR-compliant providers.
5. Data Retention
Student session data (names and scores) is retained for the duration of the school's subscription and deleted within 90 days of account closure. Teacher contact information is retained as long as the account is active.
6. Children's Privacy
Our platform is designed for use in supervised educational settings. Students access the simulation through a teacher-generated PIN code. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without school/teacher authorisation. Student participation requires only a first name or nickname — no email, password, or identifying information is required.
7. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the EU/UK, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict processing of your data
- Request data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise these rights, contact us at sakari.laajoki@gmail.com.
8. Cookies
We use essential cookies only to maintain session functionality (e.g., keeping you logged into an active game session). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.
9. Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services:
- Netlify (hosting and serverless functions)
- Neon (PostgreSQL database)
- Apollo.io (teacher outreach — teacher emails only, never student data)
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
