Effective Date: January 1, 2025 | Last Updated: September 5, 2026
1. Introduction & Scope
Welcome to SchoolAira ("we," "our," or "us"), accessible online at https://schoolaira.com. SchoolAira is Pakistan's #1 Free AI-Powered School Management System, Automated Exam Paper Generator, and Unified Mobile LMS designed for schools, colleges, academies, teachers, students, and parents.
This Privacy Policy governs your use of our SaaS web portal and our mobile applications available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store (including SchoolAira Student & Parent App and SchoolAira Teacher & Staff App). By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
2. Information We Collect
In order to provide educational administration, learning management, and school communication services, we collect and process the following categories of data:
- Student Information: Full name, student ID / roll number, admission number, class and section, gender, date of birth, attendance logs, exam grades, homework/assignment submissions, report cards, and class timetable.
- Parent / Guardian Data: Full name, verified mobile phone number, WhatsApp contact, email address, relationship to the student, and emergency contact information.
- Teacher & Staff Information: Full name, employee ID, qualification, contact details, attendance records, assigned classes/subjects, leave requests, and digital payroll slips (where enabled).
- Fee & Payment Records: Digital fee vouchers, payment verification records, transaction reference IDs, and payment receipts. Note: We do not collect or store full credit/debit card numbers or bank credentials; all transactions are routed through certified financial payment gateways.
- Device & Diagnostic Data: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, crash analytics, and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push notification tokens.
3. Mobile App Device Permissions & Purpose
Our mobile applications require specific Android device permissions to function effectively. We only request permissions necessary for core educational features:
Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA)
Purpose: Allows students to take real-time photos of handwritten homework or assignments to submit them to teachers. Allows teachers and administrators to take profile pictures or scan question papers.
Storage & Media (READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
Purpose: Allows users to attach PDFs, photos, and assignments from their gallery, and allows parents/students to save fee receipts, report cards, and study date sheets to device storage.
Notifications (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
Purpose: Sends instant alerts for daily attendance (absent/present alerts), urgent school announcements, homework deadlines, fee due reminders, and exam schedules.
Network Access (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)
Purpose: Required to securely connect with SchoolAira cloud servers to synchronize timetable, exam marks, and real-time attendance data.
4. Children’s Privacy & Educational Data Protection
Because SchoolAira serves educational institutions, our services and mobile apps may be utilized by students under the age of 13/16:
- School Authorization: Student accounts are created and managed strictly under the authorization and supervision of the participating educational institution (school) and verified parents/guardians.
- No Behavioral Advertising: We NEVER sell or rent student data to any third parties. We do not display targeted or behavioral advertisements within our mobile apps.
- Strict Confidentiality: Student academic records are strictly confidential and only accessible to authorized school faculty and the student's registered parents/guardians.
5. In-App Promotional Content & Role-Based Advertising (Google Play Families Policy Compliance)
SchoolAira may occasionally display in-house cross-promotions, educational service notices, or community partner announcements within its mobile applications. To comply strictly with Google Play’s Families Policy, Child Safety Standards, and COPPA, we implement server-enforced role-based access control (RBAC):
- Zero Mature / Matrimonial Content for Students: Student accounts NEVER receive, view, or have access to any mature, matrimonial, dating, or commercial third-party advertisements. The student interface is 100% dedicated to educational activities (such as homework, daily attendance, class timetables, and exam results).
- Role-Gated Adult Services: Community announcements or partner applications (such as family matrimonial services or adult continuing education) are strictly restricted and displayed only to authenticated, adult user roles (verified Parents/Guardians and School Teachers/Staff).
- Safe Certified Play Store Redirection: Any action button (e.g. "Install Now") exclusively redirects adult users to official Google Play Store application listings that have already undergone standard Google verification and independent age-rating certification. We never initiate unauthorized APK downloads, deceptive redirects, or unverified off-store links.
- No Behavioral Tracking: We do not track user activity across unrelated websites or third-party platforms to build advertising profiles.
6. Data Security & Multi-Tenant Architecture
All data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. SchoolAira utilizes a multi-tenant database infrastructure ensuring strict segregation between different schools so that no institution or user can access data outside their authorized jurisdiction.
7. Account Deletion & Data Retention Rights

In full compliance with Google Play Store requirements, users (students, parents, teachers, and staff) have the right to request the permanent deletion of their account and associated personal data.
