The Next School (“we”, “our”, or “us”) provides a school management mobile application that supports communication and day-to-day school operations for Parents and Teachers.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it is shared, and the choices available to users. By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
Parents/guardians use the App to view child information, attendance, homework/assignments, leave requests, notifications, timetable, gate pass, and profile settings.
Teachers use the App to manage class-related activities such as attendance, assignments/homework, leave reviews (where applicable), announcements, and school communication.
We do not request permissions that are unrelated to App functionality.
We do not sell personal data.
We may share information only with:
The App is intended for use by parents/guardians and teachers. Student information may be processed only for school purposes and usually under the direction of the school and authorized parent/guardian or teacher accounts.
We do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create independent accounts without appropriate parental/guardian or school authorization. If you believe student data was provided incorrectly, contact us to review and remove it where appropriate.
We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide App services, meet school administrative needs, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it where reasonably possible.
We use industry-standard safeguards such as encrypted transmission, access controls, and secure storage practices. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we continuously work to protect your information.
Depending on applicable law, you may request to:
Parents may request updates related to linked child profiles through school administration or support channels.
The App may use trusted third-party services for hosting, notifications, analytics, crash reporting, or media handling. These providers process data only as needed to deliver their services and according to their own privacy practices.
If you access the App from outside the country where our servers or school systems are located, your information may be transferred and processed in other jurisdictions with different data-protection laws.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted at this same URL with a revised effective date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
