Introduction

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure cloud servers. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Each school's data is completely isolated from other schools — only authorised users of your school can access your data.

  • Firebase (Google): Push notifications
  • WhatsApp Business API (Meta): Automated WhatsApp notifications
  • Razorpay: Payment processing (if enabled by school)
  • Supabase: File storage (documents, photos)

Children's Privacy

Student data is collected and managed by the school administration, not directly by students. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without school authorisation.

7

Data Retention

We retain school data for the duration of the active subscription. Upon termination, data is available for export for 30 days, after which it is permanently deleted upon request.
