Building trust around the technology schools use
Simple for schools. Reassuring for parents.
9ine Trust is built on top of the 9ine Platform's existing app catalogue. It gives every parent a personalised, up-to-date view of exactly which applications their child's school uses and how their data is handled. Most schools can go live in under a day.
School completes the app catalogue
Using the 9ine Platform, the school logs all deployed apps, data categories, AI flags, and vendor details. Usually done in a single session.
Parents receive a personalised invitation
Each parent gets a secure link to their own Trust portal, scoped specifically to their child's year group and the apps they are exposed to.
Ongoing transparency and consent
As apps change, parents are notified automatically. Consent requests and approvals are handled directly in the portal, keeping everyone aligned.
Built for transparency. Designed for parents.
Everything a parent needs to know — in one place
App inventory
Data categories
AI transparency
Consent management
Audit trail
Parent-specific view
App inventory
Every application the school has deployed, with the vendor name, category, and a plain-English summary of what it does. See every app in use at a glance.
Data categories
See exactly which types of personal data each app processes — from names and emails to behavioural data and location — with absolutely no ambiguity.
AI transparency
A clear flag on every tool that uses artificial intelligence, along with a plain-language description of how AI is actually used in the classroom.
Consent management
Schools can request consent for specific tools or data uses. Parents review and respond directly in the portal, centralising the process and keeping everything logged.
Audit trail
Every consent, update, and change is recorded with a timestamp. Schools and parents always have a shared, verifiable record so nothing is ever disputed or forgotten.
Parent-specific view
Each parent sees only their own child's data. The portal is fully personalised, private, and accessible from any device.
Designed to connect schools and families
9ine Trust serves the entire school community — from the parent wanting to understand their child's digital footprint, to the privacy lead who needs an evidenceable consent record.
Parents & Guardians
A clear, honest view of their child's data. Get a personalised, private dashboard accessible from any device. No jargon, just clear information on apps, AI, and data processing.
SLT & School Leadership
Build genuine trust with the community. Demonstrate transparent data practices to parents and governors, moving from complex policy documents to a modern, user-friendly interface.
DPO & Privacy Leads
Centralised consent and audit trails. Replace scattered email consent forms with a structured portal where every approval is timestamped, recorded, and easily verifiable.
IT Managers
Zero-friction deployment. Built directly on top of the 9ine Platform's existing app catalogue, meaning no duplicate data entry and the ability to go live in less than a day.
9ine Trust vs. the way most schools handle transparency today
Most schools rely on static policy PDFs and scattered emails to communicate data practices and gather consent. 9ine Trust replaces that with a live, governed, and evidenceable process.
Built for the scrutiny schools face
Evidence-ready audit trail
Every consent decision and update is recorded. When a parent or regulator asks for proof of consent, you have a complete, structured answer.
No disputes, no forgotten forms
A shared, verifiable record ensures schools and parents are always on the exact same page.
Stronger as part of the wider 9ine platform
9ine Trust sits inside the 9ine Platform, connecting directly to your existing EdTech governance data to create a complete, joined-up picture.
Application Module
Approved tools from your school's application library feed directly into the parent portal, eliminating double data entry.
Privacy Module
Connect data processing activities and AI risk intelligence directly to the parent view to keep data protection joined to community transparency.
Vendor
Vendor gives you structured, independent assessments of over 250 EdTech vendors across six risk dimensions.
