Privacy Policy – Classity Parental ControlApp
Last updated: January 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when using the Classity Parental Control App (the “Platform”), an educational platform designed to help schools manage and restrict smartphone usage during school hours, in compliance with applicable European data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Who We Are and Our Role
Classity Parental Control App provides a digital platform used by schools, students, parents, and educators to manage and restrict smartphone usage during school-related activities, while preserving essential communication between students and their parents. Any such restrictions may only be applied to a child’s device with the prior consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian.
For the purposes of data protection laws, Classity acts as:
* Data Processor on behalf of schools with respect to student-related data.
* Data Controller with respect to limited administrative and operational data, such as school administrator accounts and billing contact details.
2. Types of Users
The Platform is intended for use by:
* Students
* Parents or legal guardians
* Teachers and school administrators
Each user type has different permissions and levels of access within the Platform.

4. Use of Apple Screen Time API (iOS Devices)
To provide its core functionality on iOS devices, Classity uses the Apple Screen Time API strictly in accordance with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines.
- On-device enforcement: All restrictions are applied locally on the student’s device.
- No content access: Classity does not access, receive, or transmit app content, browsing data, or communication content.
- Minimal synchronization: Only limited policy and schedule data required to apply school-defined rules is synchronized.
- Status indication only: Authorized parents and school administrators may view a simple status indicator (e.g., restricted / unrestricted).
Classity does not use the Apple Screen Time API for profiling, advertising, or analytics beyond essential operational functionality.
5. How We Use Personal Data
Personal data is used solely to:
- Operate and maintain the Platform.
- Enforce school-defined usage policies.
- Enable temporary, school-approved exceptions.
- Provide technical support.
- Ensure system security, integrity, and reliability.
Classity does not use student data for advertising, marketing, or behavioral profiling.
6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Processing is based on one or more of the following legal grounds:
- Performance of a contract.
- Compliance with legal obligations.
- Legitimate interests related to system security and operation.
- Consent, where required by applicable law.
7. Children’s Privacy and Parental Rights
The Platform is designed for use in an educational context and processes personal data relating to minors.
Schools are responsible for obtaining any parental consent or legal authorization required by law prior to enrolling students.
Parents or legal guardians retain primary authority over their child’s personal data. Where a verified parent or legal guardian submits a request to access, correct, or delete a student’s personal data, such request will take precedence over institutional instructions, except where the school is legally required to retain certain data.
Classity will act on verified parental requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR, and will coordinate with the relevant school where necessary to ensure lawful compliance.
A student cannot access the Platform unless their parent or legal guardian has registered and linked the student account.
8. Data Sharing
Classity does not sell personal data.
Personal data may be shared only with:
* Schools and parents, solely for providing the service.
* Trusted service providers acting under data processing agreements.
* Public authorities, where disclosure is legally required.
9. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to provide the Platform’s services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
Upon verified parental or school request, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized, unless retention is required by law.
10. Payments and Financial Information
Parents or legal guardians do not make payments directly to Classity.
Classity does not collect, store, or process any payment card or bank account details belonging to parents or students.
Schools are the customers responsible for payment, and Classity may collect and process relevant billing and payment information from schools (such as invoices, bank account, or payment card details) solely for the purpose of providing and managing the service.
11. Data Security
Classity applies appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encryption during data transmission and access controls aligned with industry standards.
12. User Rights
Users may exercise their rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of their personal data.
Requests will be handled within legally required timeframes.
13. International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
14. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform or via email.
