The outside services that handle school data, what each one sees, and where.
Services that handle school data
| Service | What it does for Avantus | What it sees | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services | Runs the application server and database, holds our encrypted backups, and sends the service's email, such as notices that a report is ready, sign-in codes and demonstration invitations, and notifications to us of enquiries | All school data Avantus holds. For email: recipients' names and email addresses, and the message text, never the contents of a report or a student record | Sydney, Australia (Amazon Web Services is a United States company) |
| Microsoft or Google (the school's own) | Sign-in, through the school's own Microsoft or Google accounts | At sign-in, the person's name, email address and group membership | The school's own tenant |
