Privacy

This policy covers the SIRA platform, operated by 5MiMu SARL (“5MiMu,” “we,” “us”). SIRA holds personal and academic information about students, families, tutors and associates in order to run a private tutoring practice and its gated learning platform. It does not cover the 5mimu.com corporate site or Yandu, 5MiMu’s other product, which have their own privacy policies.

What we hold

Contact details for students, parents and guardians; diagnostic and progress records; session recaps and correspondence between a family and a tutor; scheduling and attendance records; and, for tutors and associates, the information needed to plan and deliver sessions.

Who sees what

Tutors and administrators see the underlying diagnostic detail behind a student’s record. Students and families see the same evidence translated into plain language — a parent is not shown a raw diagnostic score. Information is not shared outside a student’s own tutoring relationship without consent, except where safeguarding requires it (see Safeguarding).

Service providers

We use the following third-party providers to operate SIRA: Vercel (hosting), a managed PostgreSQL database (application data), Daily (live-session hosting, under SIRA’s own account), and Google Calendar (scheduling, where a tutor connects their own calendar). Each provider processes data under its own terms, and using a session or calendar feature means your browser or the platform connects to that provider as part of normal operation.

Cookies and analytics

The public SIRA site does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. Signing in sets a single, strictly necessary session cookie so the platform can recognise you as signed in; it is not used for tracking or advertising.

Retention

Records are kept for as long as a family holds an active place, and for a limited period afterward for continuity if a student returns. Exact retention periods are set out in the invitation and onboarding material issued to each member.

Security

SIRA is served over HTTPS. Access to systems that store academic and account data is restricted to authorised 5MiMu personnel, and passwords are never stored in plain text.

Your rights

Members can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information SIRA holds about them, subject to safeguarding and record-keeping obligations. Requests go through Correspondence or directly to a member’s tutor.

International processing

Our service providers may process information outside the country where you are located. Where this applies, we rely on the safeguards those providers make available under their own terms.

Children’s and student data

SIRA works with students who are, in many cases, minors. How that data is collected, used and protected — including consent — is set out in full in Safeguarding, which takes precedence over this policy on anything safeguarding-related.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
