Privacy Policy for CollegeLink

Effective Date: [Insert Date, e.g., July 14, 2026]

This Privacy Policy governs the use of the mobile application CollegeLink ("the App") created by [Your Name or Organization Name]. The App functions primarily as a mobile WebView client to provide optimized access to our college web services.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

Our App is designed to protect your privacy. Here is how we handle your data:

• Web Browsing Data: Because the App displays web content via an Android WebView, it handles standard web traffic required to connect to the college portal. We do not inspect, collect, or store your browsing history or login credentials on any external servers outside of the official college infrastructure.
• Push Notifications: If you grant permission, the App may collect a randomized device token via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver important college announcements and updates directly to your device. This token cannot be used to identify you personally.

2. Third-Party Services

The App utilizes third-party developer tools that may process data according to their own privacy frameworks:

• Google Play Services & Firebase: Used for app stability analysis and delivering push notifications. For more details, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms page.

3. Data Security

We are committed to securing your data. All web traffic processed through the App's WebView is encrypted via standard HTTPS protocols to ensure your data stays secure between your device and the college servers.

4. Children's Privacy

This App is intended for college students and faculty. It does not address anyone under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately once posted on this URL.
