1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information to provide and improve our services:

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase services. We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We use industry-standard encryption (such as TLS) to protect your data in transit. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel and controlled via secure authentication mechanisms and backend security rules.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. Your information is processed by our backend service provider (Google Firebase) solely for the purpose of running the application's core functionality (e.g., authentication, database storage).

Within the application, information may be shared as follows:

• Content created by teachers and explicitly published to the "School Library" or "Classroom" will be visible to other users within that school or class, as intended.
• Anonymized or aggregated usage statistics may be visible to school administrators for reporting purposes.

5. Your Data Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and Update: You can review and update your account information through your profile page.
• Data Deletion: School administrators have the ability to delete user accounts (teachers, students, staff). When an account is deleted, the associated personal information is permanently removed from our primary databases.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are directed at educational institutions. Student accounts are created and managed by authorized school personnel (Administrators or Teachers). We rely on the school to obtain any necessary parental consent for the collection of a student's information. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without such authorization.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
