Consent
Parent, guardian, learner and candidate consent is captured where purpose or relationship requires it.
POPIA and data protection
Responsible handling of personal and learner information.
Lenss is designed around purpose-limited use, consent, transparency, security, accountability and controlled access across personal and organisational workspaces.

Our principles
Privacy controls should be visible in the product
Purpose limitation
Information is collected and shared for a clear guidance, education, application or programme purpose.
Transparency
Lenss distinguishes entered, inferred, pending-review and verified evidence.
Security
Personal evidence, payments, access and provider events use controlled server-side boundaries.
Accountability
Governance, consent and access events retain an auditable history.
User rights
People can request access, correction, restriction, export or deletion where applicable.
Different audiences, different boundaries
Access follows a relationship and a purpose.
For parents
Linked parents receive appropriate support context, not unrestricted private assessment answers.
For schools
School dashboards support guidance and intervention without unfairly labelling learners.
For organisations and institutions
Access depends on verification, role, consent and the specific opportunity or admissions purpose.
For partners and sponsors
Reporting is aggregated unless a lawful, consented reason supports a personal view.
Responsible AI statement
AI supports guidance; it does not own the decision.
Lenss may use AI-supported tools to explain evidence and generate structured guidance. Controlled validation and deterministic fallbacks are used where appropriate. AI output may be incomplete and should be reviewed with the person’s own evidence and responsible human judgement.
Lenss does not guarantee university admission, funding, employment, internship placement, professional registration or any specific outcome.
