Privacy

School Sampark helps a school tell parents about attendance, notices and homework on WhatsApp, and gives its staff pictures to share. This page says what the app keeps, who sees it and why.

What we keep

• Staff: name, mobile number, role, the permissions the school admin gives, and the classes they may use.
• The school: its name, town, state and board, the name and mobile number of the person who applied, an email if they gave one, and the logo, colour and contact details the school chooses for its pictures.
• Students: name, class and section, roll number, the parent's mobile number, the language for messages, and a date of birth if the school enters one. The school enters all of this.
• Attendance: who was marked present or absent each day.
• Messages: a record of each WhatsApp message sent, its text and whether it was delivered, and the replies parents send to the school's number.
• Notices, homework and pictures: the notices and PDFs the school sends, the pictures made for them, and the daily pictures made for the school.
• School calendar and activity log: exam, holiday and meeting dates, and a short log of who changed what.

Who sees it

A school's students, parents' numbers, attendance and messages are visible only to that school's staff, according to the role and permissions the school admin gives them, and to the IfStatic administrators who set the school up and give support. One school cannot see another school's data. Teachers see only the classes they are given.

Services we use

• Firebase (Google) sends the one-time sign-in code by SMS to a staff member's mobile number.
• WhatsApp Business (Meta) delivers the messages to parents from the school's number and receives their replies. The parent's number and the message go to Meta for that.
• OpenAI writes the wording of AI-assisted posters. When a staff member uses "Write with AI", the words they typed or dictated are sent to OpenAI, and the app also asks it for a daily good-morning thought. Please do not put children's names or private details into an AI post.
• Your phone's speech recognition turns speech into text when a staff member uses the microphone. It is the phone's own service (on most Android phones, Google's), and the app does not receive or keep the audio.

What we do not do

• We do not show ads and we do not sell data.
• We do not track location, and the app does not ask for it.

Parents

Parents do not install anything or give us anything directly. The school adds their mobile number, and the school is responsible for having the right to contact them. A parent can reply STOP to a message to stop receiving messages, and the school's staff can also mark a parent as opted out.

Keeping and deleting data

A school's data is kept while the school uses School Sampark. When a school is removed, access stops at once and its data is deleted after 30 days. A staff member can ask to delete their own account from inside the app, as described on the delete your account page.
