Privacy Policy
Welcome to Schola! At Schola, we prioritize the privacy and security of our users.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information and how we handle it.
1. Information We Collect
Schola does not directly collect user's data (students, teachers, adminstrators, employees, etc). Instead, the educational institutions using Schola may collect user information during the admission process and other school-related activities. Schola only collects school's information to set up an account for them and grant access to our platform. However, we do not use or share the student data collected by educational institutions, and it remains solely under the control and responsibility of the respective institutions.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the school's information collected to provide access to our platform, set up and manage accounts, and deliver the services requested by educational institutions. We do not use or disclose the student data collected by educational institutions, and it is the responsibility of the institutions to comply with applicable data protection regulations.
3. Information Sharing
Schola does not share user data or school information collected by educational institutions with third parties. We may share certain aggregated and anonymized data for analytical and research purposes, but this data will not identify individual students or schools.
4. User Reviews and Ratings
Schola allows users to submit reviews and ratings of our services. By submitting a review or rating, you grant us the right to use, display, reproduce, and distribute the content in any media and for any purpose. This may include displaying your name, profile photo, and the name of your school along with the review or rating on our website and social media pages.
Please note that the reviews and ratings you provide are voluntary, and you are responsible for the information you share in your reviews and ratings. We encourage you to provide accurate and truthful feedback while refraining from submitting any false or misleading information, defamatory content, or content that violates any applicable laws or regulations.
We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove any reviews or ratings that we deem inappropriate or in violation of our Terms and Conditions.
5. Data Security
We take data security seriously and implement robust measures to protect your personal information. Your data is stored on secure servers, and we employ industry-standard encryption and access controls to safeguard it. However, please understand that no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage method is entirely secure, and while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Schola uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your user experience and gather information about how you interact with our platform.

We retain school's information for as long as necessary to maintain the functionality of their accounts and provide support. If an educational institution decides to discontinue using Schola, they can request the deletion of their data, and we will promptly comply.
8. Children's Privacy
Schola is fully committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations around the world. As such, we do not knowingly collect or store personal information from children under the age of 13 without verified parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without proper consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records.
9. Educational Use Only
Schola is intended solely for educational use within schools and educational institutions. We encourage educational institutions to be transparent with parents and guardians about the data they collect and their data protection practices.
