Mahar Children Academy — Mobile Application

📅 Effective: 11 April 2026 ✉️ isssantosh@gmail.com
Mahar Children Academy has built this app as a free service for students, parents, and staff. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.
1

Information We Collect

To provide our Service, we may collect the following personally identifiable information:

  • Full name of parent/guardian and student
  • Phone number and email address
  • Student details (class, section, roll number)
  • Profile photo (uploaded voluntarily by the user)

We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the Service effectively.

Photo Access & Media Permissions

📷 How we use photos Our app allows users to upload a single profile photo for their account (student or parent/guardian profile). This is an optional, one-time action performed by the user.

Key facts about our photo access:

  • Photos are accessed only when the user explicitly selects an image using the device's system photo picker.
  • We do not scan, browse, or access any other media files on your device.
  • We do not access video files at any time.
  • No persistent or background access to your photo library is performed.
  • The selected photo is uploaded securely and used only as the user's profile picture within the app.
⚠️ We use the Android Photo Picker (system-level UI) on Android devices, which does not require broad media permissions. Users are always in control of which image is shared with the app.
