1. Introduction

WeEduX is a school management mobile application that helps parents, teachers, and administrators manage attendance, grades, announcements, chat, and school-related information. This Privacy Policy explains what data WeEduX collects, how it is used, how it is protected, and how users can contact us.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Name
• Email address
• Password (securely stored by the authentication provider)
• Phone number
• Role information (parent, teacher, admin)
• Student linkage details when parents link to students
• Teacher and student profile details stored by the app
• User-generated content such as newsfeed posts and comments
• Images and media selected by the user when using camera or image upload features

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Device information such as operating system and device model
• Expo push notification tokens for delivery of notifications
• App usage and session data required for authentication and session management

2.3 Third-Party Service Data

We use third-party services such as Supabase and Expo Notifications to provide authentication, database storage, and push notifications. These providers may collect and process data on our behalf.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Create and manage user accounts
• Authenticate users and maintain sessions
• Link parents with student records and associated teacher information
• Deliver push notifications and alerts
• Provide school dashboard, attendance, grades, chat, announcements, and calendar features
• Support and maintain the app
• Improve app performance and user experience

4. Why the App Requests Permissions

Camera and Media

We request camera and image library access only when users explicitly choose to attach or upload images in the app.

The permission is used for:

• Taking photos for posts or profile-related features
• Choosing images from the device photo library

Notifications

We request notification permission to send relevant alerts, announcements, and reminders to users.

Internet

The app requires internet access to communicate with Supabase, fetch and save data, and deliver push notifications.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal data.

We may share data with:

• Supabase for authentication, database storage, and user profile management
• Expo Notifications for push notification delivery
• School administrators, teachers, and parents only as necessary for student/parent relationships and school communication

We may also share information when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect user data. This includes secure authentication and access control for the services we use.

However, no system is completely secure. Users should keep their account credentials safe and report any suspicious activity.

7. Data Retention

We retain user account data as long as the account remains active. If a user deletes their account or requests removal, we will remove their personal data in accordance with applicable laws and our data retention policies.

Push notification tokens are stored as long as needed to deliver notifications and are removed when the user signs out or unsubscribes from notifications.

8. Children's Privacy

WeEduX is intended for parents, teachers, school administrators, and related school users. It is not directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Users may request access, correction, or deletion of their personal information. If you wish to review or modify your data, contact us through the support or developer contact information provided in the app or app store listing.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated policy in the app repository and update the effective date.
