Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to provide and improve our services, including:

• School & User Data: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, and roles (e.g., Admin, Teacher, Parent, Student) of authorized users within your institution.
• Student Records: Educational data, attendance, grades, health information (if entered by the school), and parent/guardian contact details.
• Financial Data: Transaction records for fee management, invoice generation, and payment processing (handled via secure third-party gateways).
• Usage Data: IP addresses, browser type, and usage patterns for security and analytics purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain the Schoolio platform for your school.
• To process fee payments and manage school finances securely.
• To send notifications regarding student attendance, grades, and school announcements.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security breaches.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of the school community.

3. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS encryption for data in transit. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel and automated systems. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Children's Privacy

Schoolio is designed for educational institutions. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 16. All student data is provided and managed by the school administration. Schools are responsible for obtaining necessary parental consent for student data collection in compliance with local laws (e.g., FERPA, GDPR).

5. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your school maintains an active account with Schoolio. Upon account termination or at your request, we will securely delete or anonymize all personal data within 30 days, except where required by law to retain specific records.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this policy periodically.
