7Children & Student Privacy

The School Mobile Application is intended to support the educational and administrative activities of Mount Zion Matric Hr. Sec.

We aim to collect and use only information reasonably necessary for legitimate school, educational, communication and administrative purposes.

8Device Permissions & Notifications

Certain features may require notifications or access to specific device capabilities. Permissions are requested only when required for the relevant feature. Users may manage many permissions through their device settings, although disabling a permission may prevent the associated feature from working correctly.
