Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 August 2026

This policy explains how Peregra accesses, uses, stores and shares information. Peregra is developed and operated by Craig Rutter under the Elseward brand. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to privacy@peregra.co.uk.

Current scope: Peregra is a teacher-operated iPad app. Pupils do not create Peregra accounts or use the app directly. The current version does not request Classroom rosters, pupil submissions, grades, guardian information or private comments.

Information stored on the iPad

Peregra stores the content needed to provide its canvas features locally on the user's iPad. This may include:

  • classes, topics, canvas names and colour choices;
  • Apple Pencil drawings, inserted objects, imported resources and rendered document pages;
  • page size, orientation, templates, bookmarks and recent canvas position;
  • Google link metadata, including course IDs, Drive file IDs, Classroom material IDs, file names, folder names and update dates.

Google authentication credentials are stored using the iOS Keychain. Peregra does not include advertising or third-party behavioural analytics in the current build.

Google user data

Google features are optional. When a teacher connects Google, Peregra may access the following information for the purposes shown:

  • Basic account identity: name and email address, to identify the connected account.
  • Classroom courses: active courses taught by the user, so the teacher can create or link local Peregra classes.
  • Selected Drive files: resources the teacher chooses through Google Picker, so the selected file can be imported to a canvas.
  • Drive files created with Peregra: PDFs the teacher exports, so Peregra can create or update them.
  • Classroom topics and materials: to create a topic or publish and update a PDF material when the teacher explicitly requests it.

Peregra uses the limited drive.file permission rather than broad access to all Drive files. Google Picker handles browsing and the teacher chooses the resource shared with Peregra.

How Google data is used and shared

Google user data is used only to provide the Google-connected feature selected by the teacher. Peregra does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or disclose it to unrelated third parties.

The app does not currently send canvas content or Google user data to an Elseward-operated cloud server. Information is stored locally and is sent to Google only when needed for sign-in, a selected import, a Drive export/update, course synchronisation, or a Classroom action requested by the teacher.

Peregra's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Lawful purpose and retention

Information is processed to provide features requested by the user, to keep the app working securely, and to support the legitimate operation and improvement of the private beta. Local data remains on the iPad until the user deletes it or removes the app. Google tokens remain in Keychain until they expire, are revoked, or the user disconnects Google.

Files and materials created in Google remain subject to the user's Google Workspace or Google Account settings and retention controls.

Security

Peregra uses Apple's application sandbox and Keychain for local credential protection, encrypted HTTPS connections for Google API requests, and narrowly scoped Google permissions. No system can be guaranteed completely secure; users should keep iPadOS updated and protect their device and Google account.

Your choices and rights

Users can delete local content in Peregra, disconnect Google, revoke access in their Google Account, and delete exported files or Classroom posts in Google. See the data deletion instructions.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may provide rights to be informed, access information, correct inaccurate information, erase information, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. Send a request to privacy@peregra.co.uk. You may also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Children and school use

Peregra is not directed to children and pupils do not sign in. Teachers and schools remain responsible for deciding what lesson content is imported or published and for following their organisation's policies, copyright rules and data-protection procedures. New roster, rewards or management-information-system features will require a separate privacy and data-protection review before release.

Changes and contact

This policy may change as Peregra develops. Material changes will be dated on this page. Privacy enquiries: privacy@peregra.co.uk. General support: support@peregra.co.uk.
