Regional Compliance
United Arab Emirates
As a company based in Dubai, UAE, The Tomorrow Teacher is fully compliant with local laws and regulations related to privacy and data security.
Security Policy
The Tomorrow Teacher uses industry-standard methods to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of its customer’s data against unauthorized use or access, disclosure, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction, or loss. We ensure that all such protected data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, and is only retained or deleted in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any overriding agreements with educational agencies.
The Tomorrow Teacher does not share the data covered by this policy informally among its employees. Only those employees who require the protected data to carry out their duties are granted access. In such cases, access is granted based on the principle of least privilege, which means that each program and employee are granted the fewest privileges necessary to complete their tasks. Employees with access to protected data are given training to apprise them of their responsibilities when handling data and the various laws and agreements covering data security. Such employees are also given a unique user ID for purposes of accountability.
The Tomorrow Teacher performs periodic risk/vulnerability assessments and data privacy and security compliance audits. The Tomorrow Teacher will remediate any identified security vulnerabilities in a timely manner. We also have a written incident response plan, as well as best practices for responding to a breach of personally identifiable information. We will share this incident response plan upon request.
While The Tomorrow Teacher is committed to implementing best practices with regard to information and data security, we cannot make a 100% security guarantee due to constant advances in virus and hacking technology, as well as unforeseeable hardware or software failures and other risk factors. The Tomorrow Teacher can therefore not be held responsible for data loss or alteration. The Tomorrow Teacher will notify any affected user of a security breach via email within 3 days following discovery of the breach.
For additional information about our security measures and Security Policy, please contact us at info@thetomorrowteacher.org.

The user will then be contacted by a member of The Tomorrow Teacher team for verification purposes.
Users can also correct and update their personal information using the same procedures described above.
Change of Control
In the event that all or a portion of The Tomorrow Teacher or its assets are acquired by or merged with a third party, personal information that we have collected from users would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by that third party. This Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your information, and any acquirer would only be able to handle your personal information as per this policy.
In the unlikely event that The Tomorrow Teacher goes out of business, all user information will be securely deleted within 12 months of the date of going out of business.

The Tomorrow Teacher may disclose personal information if we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to comply with the law, such as complying with a subpoena or other legal process.
