Privacy Policy for Little Oaks

At Little Oaks, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our students, parents, and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our mobile application.

### 1. Information We Collect
We collect information in two primary ways: information you provide to us directly, and information collected automatically through our digital platforms.

* **Personal Data:** Names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses of parents or legal guardians.
* **Student Data:** Student names, birth dates, enrollment details, photos/videos (only with explicit parental consent), and medical, allergy, or dietary alerts necessary for proper care.
* **Payment Data:** Financial information required for tuition and fees. This is processed securely via third-party payment gateways; we do not store full credit card details on our servers.
* **Technical Data:** IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating systems, and usage data collected via cookies or app analytics.

### 2. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & Data Protection)
Because Little Oaks is a pre-school, we prioritize the safety of children.
* We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13.
* All student data is collected strictly from parents or legal guardians.
* If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it from our systems immediately.

### 3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data to:
* Manage student enrollments and maintain school records.
* Communicate school updates, emergency alerts, and newsletters.
* Provide daily updates, photos, and progress reports via our mobile app.
* Process tuition payments safely and securely.
* Monitor and improve our website and app performance.

### 4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share information with:
* **Service Providers:** Trusted third-party vendors who assist with website hosting, payment processing, or app management (e.g., cloud storage, billing portals).
* **Legal Requirements:** If required by law, regulation, or legal process to protect the safety, rights, or property of Little Oaks, our students, or our staff.

### 5. Data Security
We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, please note that no electronic transmission over the internet or storage technology can be guaranteed 100% secure.

### 6. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, update, or request the deletion of your personal information or your child's data. You can manage certain notification preferences directly within the mobile app or by contacting our administration office.

### 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any major changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and posting a notification within our app or website.
