Privacy Policy

Decent School ("the School", "we", "us") respects the privacy of every student, parent and visitor. This policy explains what information we collect through this website and our admission process, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

• Enquiry and admission details — the student's name, date of birth, class sought and previous school, and the parent or guardian's name, phone number, email address and residential address.
• Documents — copies of birth certificates, transfer certificates, report cards, photographs and identity documents submitted for admission.
• Payment information — fee receipts and transaction references. Card and bank details are processed by our payment gateway partner and are not stored by the School.
• Technical information — basic data such as browser type, device and pages visited, collected automatically to keep the website working properly.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to enquiries and process admission applications.
• To maintain student records, attendance, examination results and report cards.
• To collect fees and issue receipts.
• To share important updates about academics, events, holidays and safety with parents.
• To meet our obligations to the affiliating board and government authorities.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only where necessary — with the affiliating board, government and education authorities as required by law, and with trusted service providers (such as our school management software, SMS and payment partners) who process it on our behalf and are bound to keep it confidential.

4. Children's Privacy

Information about students is provided by their parents or guardians and is used only for educational and administrative purposes. Photographs of students may appear in school publications, on this website or on our social media pages for events and achievements; parents may ask the school office in writing to opt out.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Access to student records is limited to authorised staff.

6. Cookies

This website may use cookies that are needed for it to function. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then not work as expected.

7. Retention

We keep student and admission records for as long as they are needed for educational purposes and as required by the board and applicable law.

8. Your Rights

Parents and guardians may ask to see, correct or update the information we hold about them or their child by contacting the school office.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when they are posted on this page, and the date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
