Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 8, 2026

1. Introduction

At Company Name, we are committed to protecting the privacy of educational institutions, administrators, teachers, parents, and students. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you access the School Management System (the "Platform").

2. Information We Collect

We collect information directly from users and through subscribing educational institutions:

  • Personal Details: Names, emails, phone numbers, and profile details provided during onboarding.
  • Academic Records: Course schedules, attendance logs, exam grades, and curriculum structures.
  • Device Metadata: IP addresses, browser specifications, and usage logs recorded during login.

3. How We Use Information

We process collected information to:

  • Verify user identity and enforce dashboard access limits based on roles.
  • Facilitate curriculum authoring, grade computations, and attendance logging.
  • Send security alerts, reset password links, and system notifications.
  • Diagnose platform issues and optimize overall page performance.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

The Platform utilizes standard cookies and local storage tokens to store active sessions (such as thesms_session cookie) and track user interface configurations (such as dark mode preferences). These cookies are necessary for secure authentication and cannot be disabled without losing basic functionality.

5. Data Security

We employ industry-standard encryption protocols (TLS/SSL) for all data in transit and at rest. Access permissions are audited periodically, and databases are protected by firewall layers. However, no system is entirely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

6. Data Retention

Student details, teacher logs, and school databases are retained for as long as the subscribing educational institution maintains an active subscription agreement, or as required by applicable national or local education record retention laws.

7. Third-Party Services

We may integrate with external educational APIs, cloud servers, or Google SSO tools. These third-party providers only receive the minimum user metadata required to execute their functions. They are prohibited from sharing or selling institutional data.

8. Children's Privacy

We comply with global privacy regulations, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not collect student data without prior authorization and enrollment by the subscribing school district or parents/guardians.

9. User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. Since our platform is administered by subscribing schools, please direct data access requests to your school's administrative team.

10. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy. Subscribing institutions and users will be notified of updates. Continued use of the Platform after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Contact Information
