Policies
Last updated: 5 September 2026
StoryJar is a class journal for children aged 3–11. Because it holds children's work, safeguarding and data protection sit at its core. These policies explain how it works and how we protect the people who use it.
In data-protection law the school is the data controller and StoryJar is a data processor acting on the school's instructions. Each policy below reflects that relationship.
Policies marked Draft are still being worked on and should not be relied upon yet. The Terms of Service and the Data Processing Agreement are the two in that state. If your office needs a signable Article 28 agreement before those are finished, ask us and we will tell you where it stands.
