Privacy Policy

SchoolsInGH ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

When you register, we collect your name, email address, and chosen password (hashed). If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google profile information. We also collect usage data such as pages visited, search queries, and device information to improve the Platform.

We use your information to operate and improve the Platform, personalise your experience, send account-related notifications (e.g. email verification, password reset), and — if you opt in — send newsletters and product updates. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We also use analytics cookies to understand how the Platform is used. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via our Cookie Policy page.

We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g. email delivery, cloud hosting, analytics) who process it on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements. We may disclose data when required by Ghanaian law or a valid court order.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time by visiting your account settings or contacting us. You may also withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time.

The Platform is not directed at children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS, encrypted passwords (bcrypt), and JWT-based authentication. No system is completely secure; please protect your credentials and notify us of any suspected breach.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a prominent notice on the Platform. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
