Introduction:
At GambiaEdu SMS, protecting student data and respecting privacy isn't just policy it's foundational to who we are. We handle educational records with the same care we'd want for our own children.
Key Sections to Include:
We collect data such as names, contact information, academic records, and attendance for specific purposes.
We use and store data through encryption, secure servers, and we do not sell it to third parties.
Student/parent rights (accessing your data, requesting deletion, and data portability)
Data retention (kept only as long as necessary, then securely deleted)
Your choices and controls (transparency, opt-out options where applicable)
International compliance (GDPR-aligned practices, respect for African data privacy)
Important Note to Emphasize:
We believe schools and families own educational data. We're custodians, not owners. You can request your complete data package anytime or request permanent deletion; we'll honor it.
