This page explains how Al Iqra Model School (“School”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, retains and shares personal information collected through this website, contact or admission forms (online and offline), and communication channels such as email, SMS and WhatsApp. By submitting information or using our services you agree to these terms.

Scope

These terms apply to data collected via:

• Website contact or admission forms (online)
• Paper / offline forms submitted at the school
• Communications sent by you (email, phone, WhatsApp)
• Notifications, newsletters and messages we send

Data We Collect & Purposes

We may collect personal details (name, phone, WhatsApp-enabled number, email, postal address, child details and other information you supply). We use this data to:

• Respond to inquiries and manage admissions
• Provide administrative or operational communications and updates
• Send event notices, schedule changes and safety alerts

Consent is recorded (method and timestamp). You may withdraw consent anytime by following opt-out instructions in messages or contacting the School. We will respect withdrawal requests while retaining any records required for legal or administrative purposes.

How We Share Data

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with:

• Service providers (email/notification platforms, payment processors) under contract and only to the extent needed
• Authorities when required by law or to protect legal rights
• Other parties only with your explicit authorization

Photos, Video & Publicity

Photos or videos taken at school events may be used for school publications, website and promotional materials. If you object to your child’s image being used, notify the school in writing in advance.

Fees, Payments & Refunds

Fees, refund and payment policies are governed by the School’s fee policy. Late payment rules and refunds follow that policy.

Conduct & Safety

Students, parents and visitors must follow school rules and safety instructions. The School may take disciplinary action for violations and may restrict access to protect students and staff.

Liability & Warranty

Our services and website are provided “as is.” To the extent permitted by law, the School is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the site or services.

Security & Retention

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No internet transmission is completely secure; please avoid sending highly sensitive information unless necessary. We retain personal data only as long as required for the purpose collected, legal obligations, or until you request deletion.

Children’s Privacy

If the data concerns a minor, parental/guardian consent will be required where applicable. Users under 18 should use the site with parental guidance.
