Scholars Indian School provides messaging, viewing of school records and other services to users around the world. Our Privacy Policy helps explain our information (including message) practices. For example, we talk about what information we collect and how this affects you. We also explain the steps we take to protect your privacy – like building Scholars Indian School so delivered messages and other school related information are temporarily stored as long as the school demands us to remove it from our server.

  • Your Messages.We do not retain your messages in the ordinary course of providing our Services to you. Once your messages (including your chats, photos, videos, voice messages, files, and share location information) are delivered, they are deleted from our servers sooner the school authority demands to do so.  Your messages are stored on our server until your account is deactivated by the school authorities. To improve performance and deliver media messages more efficiently, such as when many people are sharing a popular photo or video, we may retain that content on our servers for a longer period of time. We also offer end-to-end encryption for our Services, which is on by default, when you and the people with whom you message use a version of our app released after Jan  1, 2017.
