Data Handling
What data the dashboard stores
Section titled “What data the dashboard stores”The dashboard stores the following categories of data:
Student profile data
- MN assessment responses (the student’s answers to the assessment questions)
- Derived scores: Nine Natures readings, Ten Intelligences readings
- Active NatureTypes (derived from scores — no separate personal data)
- Career starting points (derived from NatureTypes — no separate personal data)
Staff-created data
- Support flags (type, priority, date, staff member who set the flag)
- Calibration notes (optional staff annotations)
- Ticket history (support requests submitted through the dashboard)
School configuration data
- Staff accounts (name, email, role)
- Class assignments (which students belong to which class)
- School settings (name, timezone, seat count)
Who can access data
Section titled “Who can access data”| Data type | Who can access |
|---|---|
| Student profile (Nature/MI scores, NatureTypes) | Teachers, counselors, administrators at the student’s school |
| Support flags and calibration notes | Counselors and administrators at the student’s school |
| School configuration | Administrators at the school |
| All school data | Multiple Natures support staff (only when needed to resolve a reported issue) |
Data is scoped to the school. Staff at one school cannot access any data from another school.
Data retention
Section titled “Data retention”Student data is retained for the duration of the school’s active contract plus 12 months. After that period, data is deleted unless the school requests an extension or data export.
Administrators can request data deletion at any time by contacting support@multiplenatures.com.
Data processing agreement
Section titled “Data processing agreement”Multiple Natures International, LLC processes student data as a school official under FERPA and as a data processor under applicable privacy laws. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) governs this relationship.
To request a copy of the DPA, contact support@multiplenatures.com.
Security
Section titled “Security”The dashboard uses encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission. Student data is stored in a US-based cloud database with access controls that limit who can read or modify records.
Support staff access is logged. If you have specific security questions for your district’s IT or legal team, contact support@multiplenatures.com and we will respond directly to those questions.
AI assistant and student data
Section titled “AI assistant and student data”The in-dashboard AI assistant does not have access to individual student records. It can answer questions about the MN framework, dashboard navigation, and how to interpret profile concepts — but it cannot look up, display, or reason about any specific student’s data.
When contacting the AI assistant, do not include student-identifying information. The assistant does not need it to help you.
