This page is a template based on your app functionality. For official compliance, you should have your school/legal team review it before publishing.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Vande Mataram Academy Pali (“we”, “us”) handles information in connection with our mobile app (“App”). We collect and use certain data to provide school-related services such as login, student profile, updates, and notifications.

2. Who We Are

Provider: Vande Mataram Academy Pali
Email: Vandemataramssspali@gmail.com

3. Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the App, we may collect and process:

Account / Login information: student identifier (e.g., student_id) and login data such as SR/credentials submitted for authentication. Tokens/identifiers like auth_token and campus_id may be stored on your device for session management.
Device and push notification identifiers: the device token used for Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver notifications.
Student/School information: data displayed in the App (profile, notices/updates, and student notifications) fetched from our backend APIs.
Location / map display data (if enabled/used): latitude/longitude received from our backend for map display (e.g., transport/device status). The App may embed a web map to display coordinates.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use data to:

Provide App functionality (login, dashboard, student profile, and related pages).
Deliver notifications and support actions like “mark as read”.
Show school updates, notices, and student-related content.
Display device/transport status on a map (when used).

5. Data Sharing

We may share information in limited cases with:

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM): for push notification delivery.
Backend/server infrastructure: to authenticate users and provide school content and notification lists.
OpenStreetMap (embedded web map): if you use the in-app map view, coordinates may be used by the map rendering component.

6. Security

We use reasonable security measures to help protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Data transferred to our servers is sent using encrypted connections (e.g., HTTPS).

7. Data Retention

We keep session-related tokens/identifiers on the device while you use the App, and they may be removed when you log out or uninstall the App. Notification and content-related data retention on servers follows our backend policies and operational requirements.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You can:

Log out of the App (which removes local session identifiers on the device).
Contact us at Vandemataramssspali@gmail.com to request privacy-related assistance (e.g., account/data related requests).

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is designed for students/parents/guardians within a school context. If applicable, we take age-appropriate measures and rely on school/guardian oversight.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will reflect the latest changes.
