Privacy Policy — SVM Staff App

Last updated: 27 October 2026

The SVM Staff App (package com.svmrahara.staff) is used by teachers and staff of Saraswati Vidya Mandir Sr. Sec. School, Rahara, Assandh, Karnal, Haryana, India ("the School") to run day-to-day school work such as attendance, marks, homework and student information. This policy explains what information the app handles and why.

1. Who can use the app

The app is for staff of the School only. Accounts are created by the School; there is no public sign-up. Staff sign in with the credentials given by the School.

2. Information the app handles

• Staff account information: name, email, role and the school the account belongs to.
• Student and school records shown to authorised staff: names, class, admission and roll numbers, photographs, attendance, marks, fee status, and contact details. A teacher can only see students of the classes allotted to them; whole-school records are limited to administrators.
• Own salary details: a staff member can view only their own salary and payslips.
• Location: only when a staff member marks their own attendance, to check they are at the School. Location is not tracked in the background for any other purpose.
• Camera and photos: used only when staff choose to take or upload a student or profile photo, or scan a QR/barcode for attendance.
• Device information: a device identifier and app version, used to keep sign-ins secure and to send notifications.
• Notifications: a push-notification token so the School can send notices and alerts.
• Biometrics: if enabled by the user, fingerprint/face unlock is handled entirely by the phone. The app never receives or stores biometric data.

3. How the information is used

Only to provide the School's own services: attendance, academic records, communication with parents, internal administration and security. We do not use it for advertising and we do not sell it.

4. Where it is stored and who sees it

All data is stored on the School's server at we.svmrahara.com and is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. It is not shared with third parties, except the service providers needed to run the app (such as Google Firebase for push notifications and the School's web hosting provider), who process it only on the School's behalf.

5. Children's data

The app is not for children and is not directed at them. It contains records of students, which are managed by the School under its responsibility to the students and their parents/guardians. Parents can ask the School about the records held for their child.

6. Retention and deletion

Records are kept as long as the School needs them for education and legal purposes. Staff or parents who want a correction or deletion of their information can contact the School using the details below; the School will respond as the law allows.

7. Security

Access is by login and role-based permissions, data travels over HTTPS, and sessions can be ended by signing out. No method is perfectly secure, but we work to protect the information.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new date.
