EduquestIQ stores only the data required to operate the learning platform: your account details, course enrollment data, test attempts, progress records, and activity within the community modules. Passwords are hashed using PHP's password_hash() and are never stored in plain text.

Instance owners (schools or administrators) are responsible for configuring HTTPS and data retention policies on their hosting environment. This sample implementation is intended as a starting point and should be reviewed for your specific legal and compliance requirements.
