• In the future, if third-party integrations (e.g., WhatsApp notification) are added, you will be informed in advance and your permission will be taken

7. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using cloud services (e.g., Firebase), with end-to-end encrypted access and secure authentication protocols.

Security measures include:

• OTP-based login and user role-based access
• Encrypted database storage
• Rate-limiting and IP monitoring to prevent unauthorized access
• No hard storage of passwords or sensitive information

Despite all precautions, no digital platform can be 100% secure. In case of any breach, users will be informed immediately.

We retain user and student data as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or request account deletion, your data will be:

Parents/guardians are responsible for monitoring app use and data accuracy. If you believe that personal information of a child has been entered inappropriately, contact us for review and action.

11. Cookies and Tracking

eduattend ai does not use tracking cookies or behavioral ads.

We may use session-based data (like login tokens) to keep you logged in securely, but no personal tracking is done outside the app environment.
