Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

MySchoolApp Uganda helps parents, students, guardians, and other users discover and compare schools across Uganda. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you when using MySchoolApp Uganda.

Depending on how you use the platform, we may collect:

• Account information such as your name and email address.
• Information provided when creating or updating a user profile.
• School information submitted through school registration or listing forms.
• Saved schools, favourites, searches, and other preferences.
• Messages or information you provide when contacting us.
• Technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location, IP address, and usage information.

3. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Provide and maintain MySchoolApp Uganda.
• Create and manage user accounts.
• Display and manage school listings.
• Allow users to save and compare schools.
• Verify information submitted by schools or authorised representatives.
• Communicate important account, security, or service updates.
• Respond to questions, support requests, and feedback.
• Improve the performance and usability of the platform.

4. School Information

Some information displayed on MySchoolApp Uganda relates to schools rather than individual users. This may include school names, locations, contact information, programmes, facilities, fees, admission information, and other details useful to parents and students.

School representatives are responsible for ensuring that information they submit is accurate and that they have authority to provide it.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the platform, such as hosting, authentication, email, security, analytics, and database providers.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect the security of our platform, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or others.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

MySchoolApp Uganda may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain login sessions, remember preferences, improve security, understand usage, and provide essential platform functionality.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and maintain appropriate business records.

9. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, request deletion of certain information, or object to certain forms of processing.

You may also update some account information directly through your MySchoolApp Uganda account.

10. Children's Privacy

MySchoolApp Uganda provides information about schools and may be used by students as well as parents and guardians. We do not intentionally request unnecessary sensitive personal information from children.

Where parental or guardian consent is required by applicable law, users should obtain that consent before providing personal information relating to a child.

11. Third-Party Services

Our platform may contain links to school websites or other third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, or legal obligations change. The latest version will always be published on this page with the date of the most recent update.
