5. Responsibilities of educational institutions

Institutions using EduOS are responsible for properly managing the information they enter into the platform.

This includes the accuracy of academic, administrative, and financial records, as well as the management of permissions granted to their users.

Each institution must have the appropriate authorizations or legal bases for processing personal data, especially information concerning children and adolescents.

EduOS serves as a tool to support institutional management and does not replace its users' legal, educational, administrative, or accounting responsibilities.

6. Privacy and personal data protection

EduOS recognizes the importance of its users' privacy and personal data protection.

The processing of personal information is subject to applicable legislation, including Ecuador's Organic Law on Personal Data Protection.

Information about the categories of data processed, the purposes of processing, and data subjects' rights is available in the EduOS Privacy Policy.

When EduOS processes personal data on behalf of an educational institution, the respective responsibilities must be determined in accordance with applicable legislation and any necessary agreements.

Institutions must ensure that they have a valid legal basis for entering personal information into the platform.

7. Information security

EduOS recognizes the importance of maintaining appropriate security conditions for information managed through its services.

However, no technological system is completely free of risks, vulnerabilities, or interruptions.

Users must protect their credentials and avoid sharing access information with unauthorized persons.

Institutions must also manage their members' permissions responsibly.

Any suspected security incident may be reported through the official contact or support channels.

8. Availability, maintenance, and updates

EduOS is a platform undergoing continuous development and improvement.

For this reason, temporary interruptions may occur due to maintenance, updates, bug fixes, or technical circumstances.

Certain features may be modified, introduced, or removed as the project evolves.

EduOS will endeavor to keep users informed of relevant changes whenever reasonably possible.

Uninterrupted availability and the complete absence of technical errors are not guaranteed.

EduOS does not currently offer paid subscription plans.

However, subscription options, paid features, or other commercial services may be introduced in the future.

If introduced, the corresponding financial terms, including prices, billing periods, and included services, must be clearly communicated before any purchase or agreement.

The introduction of paid services will not automatically enroll existing users in those services.

Any financial obligation will require acceptance of the corresponding commercial terms.

10. Intellectual property

The EduOS name, its visual identity, design, code, documentation, and other original elements of the project are subject to the intellectual property rights held by their respective owners.

Access to the platform does not grant ownership rights over these elements.

Users receive limited authorization to use EduOS in accordance with the terms of the service.

Content and data entered by institutions will remain the property of their respective owners or rights holders, as provided by law.

Storing information in EduOS does not transfer ownership to the project or its owner.

11. Account cancellation and subsequent data processing

Users may request information about canceling their accounts through EduOS's official contact or support channels.

The handling of these requests will depend on the type of account, institutional permissions, and applicable legal obligations.

For accounts linked to an institution, certain requests may require the involvement of its authorized administrators.

The deletion, retention, or return of personal information must be carried out in accordance with applicable legislation, the Privacy Policy, and the corresponding agreements.

Technical procedures and specific data retention periods must be defined and documented according to the actual characteristics of the service.

This clause does not limit the rights of data subjects recognized by current legislation.

EduOS seeks to provide functional and useful tools for educational management.

However, technical errors, interruptions, or circumstances beyond the project's control may occur.

EduOS does not assume liability for administrative or educational decisions made solely by institutions, or for errors resulting from incorrect information entered by users, except where legal liability is attributable to EduOS or its owner.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
