1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services to our users. This includes:

• Personal Information: Name, professional email address, and phone number provided during account registration.
• Location Data: To facilitate automated attendance tracking, the App collects precise location data while you are using the app or when you initiate attendance marking.
• Device Information: We collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers) to enable push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To manage your class schedule and send timely reminders.
• To verify attendance based on your proximity to designated class locations.
• To facilitate teacher substitution workflows.
• To send important administrative alerts and updates.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on our private servers. We implement industry-standard security measures (SSL encryption, firewalls) to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Google Firebase to handle push notifications. Firebase may collect certain device identifiers as part of its standard service operation. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more details.

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information through the App's profile settings.
