The licensed educational psychologist or authorized educator retains sole decision-making authority and clinical responsibility.

They will not input direct government-issued national identity numbers or unencrypted sensitive medical histories into non-local storage tiers.

4. Data Ownership & Zero-Vendor Lock-in

All institutional data, student case notes, and psychological evaluation forms created within the User's local or cloud workspace remain the exclusive property of the institution or specialist. Prevention.school does not sell, commercialize, or train third-party public foundation models on individual student consultation transcripts.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Prevention.school, its developers, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from clinical interventions, pedagogical disciplinary measures, or decisions made by Users based on software outputs or algorithmic insights.
