## 4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
The Avasar Public School App is designed for use by students under the supervision of the school and their parents/guardians.
* **Account Creation:** Students cannot independently create accounts. All accounts are generated and provisioned directly by the School Administration.

* **No Targeted Advertising:** We do not use collected data for marketing or targeted advertising.
* **Parental Rights:** Parents have the right to review their child's educational records (results, attendance, homework) through the App. If a parent wishes to request deletion of their child's data, they must contact the School Administration directly.

## 5. Data Security
We value your trust in providing us with your Personal Information. We use commercially acceptable means of protecting it, including strict database security rules (Firestore Rules) that ensure:
* Students can only access their own data.
* Teachers and Admins have access restricted to their administrative scope.
* Destructive actions (like deleting accounts or records) are strictly limited to the Admin/Principal.
However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

## 6. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your Personal Information only for as long as you are actively enrolled or employed at Avasar Public School, or as required by educational regulations.
* **Auto-Cleanup:** The App includes an automated system that periodically deletes old, non-essential data (like old chat messages or expired notifications). Essential academic data (results, fees, attendance) is preserved.
* **Account Deletion:** If you wish to delete your account or any personal data, please contact the School Administration. Upon approval, the Admin will securely delete your records from the database.
