This Privacy Policy applies to the SkoolSmart mobile application (the "Application") developed by BenTen Power Private Limited (the "Service Provider") and is provided as a free service. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Application. For more details about SkoolSmart, you may visit our website at www.skoolsmart.net.com. By using the Application, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information Collection and Use
The Application automatically collects certain information when you download and use it. This may include:
Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address
Pages and features of the Application you visit, including time and date of visits and time spent
The operating system used on your mobile device
Device identifiers used for push notification delivery
For a better experience while using the Application, the Service Provider may require you to provide personally identifiable information, such as your name and contact details. This information is retained and used as described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Location Data
The Application does NOT collect, access, or track the precise GPS location of your mobile device.
However, the Application receives and displays real-time tracking data — including latitude, longitude, speed, and direction — transmitted from our backend servers via WebSocket connections. This data is used solely for the purpose of displaying vehicle or student tracking on an in-app map powered by Google Maps. This tracking data originates from the backend infrastructure and is not sourced from the user's device.
This location data is not stored on your device and is only used to render live tracking views within the Application.
3. Camera Access
The Application requests access to your device's camera solely for the purpose of capturing and uploading a profile photo. Specifically:
Camera access is triggered only when you choose to update your profile picture
Photos taken through this feature are uploaded to our servers and associated with your account
The Application does not access the camera at any other time or for any other purpose
No photos are stored locally on your device by the Application
4. Push Notifications (Firebase)
The Application uses Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver push notifications to your device. To enable this feature, a device token (a unique identifier assigned by Firebase to your device) is collected and stored on our servers. This token is used exclusively for sending notifications and is not shared with third parties beyond Firebase/Google.
You may opt out of push notifications at any time through your device's notification settings.
5. Third-Party Services
The Application uses the following third-party services that may collect and process data independently. Please review their respective privacy policies:
Google Play Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Maps SDK: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Firebase (Cloud Messaging / Push Notifications): https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve the Application. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. Disclosure of Information
The Service Provider may disclose collected information in the following circumstances:
As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process
When disclosure is necessary in good faith to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others
To investigate fraud or respond to a government request
With trusted service providers working on our behalf who have agreed to adhere to this Privacy Policy and do not independently use the disclosed information
7. Children's Privacy
The SkoolSmart Application is designed for use by parents and guardians to monitor the safety and whereabouts of their children via school-managed tracking systems. While the Application's purpose involves displaying tracking information related to students, it does not directly collect personal data from children.
The Application does not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If the Service Provider discovers that a child under 13 has provided personal information, it will be deleted from our servers immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information, please contact us at itsupport@trackoworld.com.
The tracking data displayed in the Application (e.g., student location) is managed and controlled by the school or institution's backend system and is transmitted to parents for safety monitoring purposes only.
8. Data Retention Policy
The Service Provider will retain User Provided data for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time thereafter. If you would like us to delete User Provided data you have submitted through the Application, please contact us at itsupport@trackoworld.com and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
9. Opt-Out Rights
You can stop all collection of information by the Application by uninstalling it using the standard uninstall process available on your mobile device or via the app marketplace. You may also opt out of push notifications through your device's notification settings at any time.
10. Security
The Service Provider is committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We implement physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information we process and maintain. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
11. Artificial Intelligence
The Application does not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to process your personal data or to provide any features within the Application.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes by updating this page with the revised Privacy Policy and updating the effective date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the Application after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
13. Your Consent
By using the Application, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, including any amendments made in the future.
