Oshwal Academy ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Oshwal Academy Mobile App (the "App"), a communication portal for students, parents, and staff of Oshwal Academy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
The App is a secure portal that requires an active Oshwal Academy account to sign in. We collect and process the following information:
- Account information — your email address and password (stored securely) used to log in to the App.
- Academy data — information relevant to your role, such as timetables, school calendar events, announcements, messages, and student or campus details made available to you by the Academy.
- Device and usage data — technical information such as device type, operating system, and app version, used to deliver and improve the service.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To authenticate you and provide secure access to the App.
- To display timetables, calendar events, announcements, and messages relevant to your account.
- To send push notifications about important updates, when you have enabled them.
- To maintain, secure, and improve the App and its features.
3. Push Notifications
The App may send push notifications to keep you informed of important announcements and updates. You can control or disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We only share information where necessary to operate the App, such as with service providers that host and maintain our systems, and only to the extent required to provide the service. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the Academy and its community.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. Communications between the App and our servers are encrypted using industry-standard transport layer security (HTTPS), and account credentials are stored securely. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. If you no longer have an active Oshwal Academy account, access to the App will be discontinued.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, or if you have questions about your data, please contact the school administration using the details below.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is intended for use by students, parents, and staff of Oshwal Academy. Where the App is used by minors, access is provided under the supervision and authority of their parent or guardian and the Academy.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
