Overview

Tenure is an early-stage ERP for university administrations and student organizations. The platform holds an organization’s operations and institutional memory — finance, events, members, documents, and the decisions behind them — so the record stays with the seat when the people in it rotate. This page explains, in plain terms, what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We’ll keep it honest and update it as the product grows.

Information we collect

• Account details you provide — things like your name, email, role, and the organization you belong to.
• The organizational records you choose to store — the finances, events, members, documents, notes, and history your organization decides to keep in Tenure.
• Basic usage data — the operational information we need to run the service reliably and keep it secure.

How we use it

We use the information to run Tenure, support your organization, and power AI onboarding — so when a leader leaves a seat, the AI that has learned what the role has done can get the next person productive in days instead of a semester. We do not sell personal information. We use it to deliver the service you’re asking for, not to build a business out of your data.

Who can see it

• Your organization’s members, and the boards that inherit the record when a term ends.
• Not the public. Your record is private to your organization by default.
• Service providers we rely on to operate Tenure — for example, hosting and infrastructure — under confidentiality obligations, and only as needed to run the service.

Who owns it

The organization owns its record. That’s the whole point of Tenure: the role persists while the people rotate, so knowledge belongs to the seat, not the person who held it. Individuals do not take the record with them when their term ends — it carries forward to whoever inherits the role.

Student data

We treat student information on a least-access basis: people see what their role needs, and no more. The institution or organization owns its records — not Tenure, and not the individuals who pass through a seat. We aim to support FERPA-conscious handling of education records, and we’ll work with your administration on the policies and controls that fit your institution.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information in Tenure. No method of storing or transmitting data is perfectly secure, and we can’t promise absolute security — but we take the trust your organization places in us seriously and work to earn it.

Your choices

You can request access to the information we hold about you, ask for an export, or request deletion. The simplest way is to contact us and tell us what you need; we’ll work with you and your organization to honor the request.

Changes to this policy

As Tenure develops, we may update this policy to reflect how the product actually works. When we make a meaningful change, we’ll update the date at the top of this page so you can see when it last changed.
