Version 1.0 · 15 October 2026
Atlas is an app that helps families manage their children's screen time and prepare for school. We only process the data needed for that: no advertising, no selling of data, no advertising profiles. Our servers are in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany).
Who is responsible?
Atlas is provided by IDE TECHNOLOGY BV (company no. 0805.697.440, Atealaan 34A, 2200 Herentals, Belgium). We are the controller of your data.

What data do we process?
- Parent: email address, language and time zone setting, a hash of the panel PIN.
- Child: display name (can be a nickname) and school year.
- Rules and devices: time and bedtime rules, lists of apps and sites, device name, last connection.
- Usage: how long each app and each site (site name only, e.g. youtube.com) was used; requests for extra time and the answers.
- Learning: exercise results, progress per topic, reading times, study plan.
- School connection (optional): username, password and date of birth of the school account (stored encrypted); grades, homework, tests, timetable and teacher comments from the school.
- Photos: homework proof photo (only the family sees it); photo of a question, of the board or notebook and of a book's table of contents (processed only, not stored).
- Home network module (optional): hardware addresses of devices on your network and the names you give them.
- Parent assistant: the messages you write to the assistant.
What do we not process?
Full web addresses, page content, messages, forms and passwords (except the school account), screenshots, location and biometric data. Voice recordings are not stored. Payment card details are not stored by us.
Why?
- To apply the parent's rules on the child's device.
- To show the parent reports on usage and learning.
- To offer the child exercises, explanations and test preparation at their level.
- If the school connection is on: to put homework and tests into the study plan.
Legal basis
Processing needed to make the service work is based on the performance of the contract (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)). For AI features, the school connection and read-aloud we also ask for your explicit consent (art. 6(1)(a)); you can withdraw it at any time in the panel.
Service providers and AI
- Oracle Cloud (Frankfurt, Germany): server and database hosting.
- Anthropic (Claude AI): creating exercises and lesson content (no child data); parent assistant (a code is sent instead of the child's name); the child's "Ask Atlas" questions and photos (processed anonymously, not stored). The data processing agreement is part of Anthropic's commercial terms; API data is not used to train models. Anthropic is based in the US; the transfer relies on the EU standard contractual clauses.
- Google Cloud: lesson text for read-aloud; an anonymous voice recording for reading assessment (processed, not stored).
- Smartschool: if you turn on the school connection, the account you provide is used to log in to the school's own system.
- Email service: only your email address (verification, notifications, weekly report).
We do not sell your data to any company and do not share it for advertising.
Browser extension
The Atlas browser extension reports only the site name of the open tab (e.g. youtube.com) and the time spent to the Atlas program on the same computer; it shows a notice on sites the parent has blocked and turns on safe search in search engines. Full addresses, page content, what you type, forms, passwords and screenshots are not read and not sent. The extension itself sends nothing to the internet; the Atlas program only passes the site name and time to your account.
How long do we keep data?
- Usage records (time per app and site, requests, exercise results, assistant messages): during the current school year; every 1 September those of the previous year are deleted automatically.
- School data: as long as the connection is active; deleted immediately when you remove it.
- Homework proof photo: deleted when the parent approves or sends it back, at the latest after 15 days. Other photos are deleted right after processing.
- When you delete your account: kept for 30 more days so you can undo, then deleted completely.
Security
All connections are encrypted (HTTPS). The school account password and date of birth are stored encrypted with AES-256; for device keys we only keep a hash. Only your family and, when needed to run the service, authorised staff have access.
Your rights
You have the right to access, download, correct and delete your data, to object to its processing and to withdraw your consent. Ask via the panel or the email address above; we reply within 30 days. You can lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority: dataprotectionauthority.be
Children
The parent creates and manages the account. The child has no email address or account of their own; the child's data is only visible to their own family.
Changes
If this text changes, we will tell you in the panel; if needed we will ask for your consent again.
