Security & Data Protection

MeadowFox is designed for educational institutions handling sensitive operational and institutional data. Security, privacy, and trust are foundational to how MeadowFox is built and operated.

Security-First Design

MeadowFox uses secure cloud infrastructure and industry-standard safeguards to protect customer data.

Our approach prioritises:

  • confidentiality
  • integrity
  • availability
  • controlled access

Encryption & Secure Transmission

Where applicable, data is protected using secure transmission protocols and encryption safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.


Customer Data Ownership

Schools, academies, and trusts retain ownership of all data uploaded to MeadowFox.

MeadowFox does not claim ownership of customer operational data.


AI Processing Safeguards

Simon uses artificial intelligence to analyse data and surface operational insights.

Customer data is used only to provide:

  • anomaly detection
  • reporting
  • operational analysis
  • centre-specific intelligence

MeadowFox does not use customer data to train public AI models.


Access Controls

Access to MeadowFox is restricted to authorised users.

Role-based permissions help ensure sensitive operational data is visible only to appropriate personnel.

Examples include:

  • Exams Officers
  • School Leadership
  • Trust Leadership
  • Approved Administrators

Data Retention & Deletion

Raw uploaded files may be retained for approximately 30–90 days unless needed for active service delivery.

Processed intelligence, reports, and Simon Memory may be retained longer to support institutional continuity and improve centre-specific intelligence.

Customers may request deletion of data, subject to legal or contractual obligations.


Human Oversight

Simon is designed to support—not replace—human operational judgment.

Final decisions remain the responsibility of authorised school staff.

MeadowFox provides intelligence, not autonomous decision-making.


Compliance Commitment

MeadowFox is committed to supporting compliance with:

  • UK GDPR
  • data protection best practice
  • educational governance requirements
