Privacy Policy

School Teacher is a global teacher hiring platform. We connect verified schools with qualified teachers — subject teachers, coaching faculty, administrators, and related roles. Our registered contact email is schoolteachermarketing@gmail.com.

We collect the following categories of data when you use the platform:

• Account information: Name, email address, phone/WhatsApp number, and password (hashed — never stored in plain text).
• Teacher profile: Qualifications, degrees, work history, availability, preferred cities/countries, salary range, intro video, and uploaded resume (stored on AWS S3).
• School profile: School name, address, description, logo, photos, board/affiliation details, and verification documents (stored on AWS S3).
• Job posting data: Job title, subject, role, location, and compensation details.
• Payment information: Transaction IDs from Razorpay. We do not store card numbers, CVV, or bank details — all payment processing is handled by Razorpay.
• Communication data: Transactional emails and SMS/WhatsApp alerts.
• Usage data: Pages visited, search queries, and job interactions — used for platform improvement only.

• To operate and display your teacher or school profile on the platform.
• To match job postings with candidates based on location, subject, and availability.
• To send job alert emails and SMS/WhatsApp notifications (opt-out available in Settings).
• To process subscription and application fee payments via Razorpay.
• To verify school accounts and maintain platform integrity.
• To respond to disputes, support requests, and legal obligations.

We integrate with the following third-party services:

• Razorpay — payment gateway. Governed by Razorpay's Privacy Policy.
• Google Sign-In (OAuth2) — when you choose "Continue with Google", we receive your name, email address, and Google account ID solely to create or link your School Teacher account. We do not receive access to your Gmail, contacts, or any other Google service data.
• AWS S3 — secure file storage for resumes, intro videos, and school documents.
• SMS/WhatsApp providers — alert delivery.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

School Teacher uses Google APIs for the following purpose:

• User authentication: Google Sign-In (OAuth2) to let users log in without a password.

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the platform features described in this policy.

School Teacher uses a small number of cookies and browser storage items to run the platform:

• Essential/functional: A secure, HttpOnly session cookie that keeps you signed in. The platform cannot function without this — it is not optional and does not track you across other sites.
• Third-party service cookies: Google Maps (location/city autocomplete), Google reCAPTCHA (spam and bot protection), and Google Sign-In each set their own cookies when those features are used, governed by Google's own privacy policy.
• Local storage: A flag remembering that you've seen our cookie notice, and (if you choose Google Sign-In) short-lived session data — nothing here is used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

We do not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies. You can clear cookies and local storage at any time via your browser settings; doing so will simply sign you out and reset the cookie notice.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, your personal profile data is deactivated within 30 days. Job posting records and payment transaction references may be retained for up to 7 years for legal and accounting compliance.

You have the right to:

• Access and download the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data via your profile settings.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Opt out of non-essential communications via Settings.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at schoolteachermarketing@gmail.com.

We use industry-standard security practices — HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords (bcrypt), and role-based access controls. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Please use a strong, unique password and notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized account access.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform evolves. Significant changes will be communicated via email. Continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
