Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
1. Introduction
Edgefield Secondary School ("the School", "we", "us", or "our") operates various web applications, a collection of digital applications intended to support internal school processes and activities.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be handled when you access or use these applications, including when you sign in using your Google account.
The actual information handled depends on the application you use and the features enabled within it. This policy should be read together with any additional privacy notices presented within an individual application.
2. Information processed through Google Sign-In
Certain applications use Google Sign-In to authenticate users.
Depending on the permissions configured and granted, Google Sign-In may provide basic account information such as:
- Your name.
- Your email address.
- Your Google account identifier.
- Your profile picture, if requested by the application.
The School must confirm which of these fields are actually requested and processed by its implementation before this policy is published.
Google Sign-In is intended to support authentication and account identification. Unless an application separately requests and receives the necessary permissions, Google Sign-In alone does not grant access to your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, Google Calendar data, or other Google service content.
3. How information is used
Information obtained through Google Sign-In may be used for the following purposes, where applicable to the relevant application:
- To authenticate your identity.
- To identify your account within the application.
- To determine whether your account is permitted to access the application.
- To maintain the sign-in session and support access to the application.
Any additional use of personal information must be disclosed accurately before it takes place.
4. Information handled by individual applications
Individual applications may process additional information that users submit or generate while using their features.
The categories of information involved, the purposes of processing, and the applicable retention periods depend on the particular application.
Before this policy is published, the School should identify the information handled by each application and add any necessary disclosures here or in a supplementary application-specific privacy notice.
5. Storage and retention
Information may be processed or stored by the systems supporting an application, depending on its technical implementation.
The School will confirm which information is stored, where it is stored, who is responsible for managing it, and how long it is retained before publishing this section as a complete description of its practices.
Information will be retained only in accordance with the applicable school requirements and retention arrangements. Any deletion or disposal procedures must reflect the actual systems and processes in use.
6. Disclosure and sharing
The School will identify any parties that receive personal information in connection with these applications, including relevant technology or hosting providers where applicable.
Information will not be described as being shared, or not shared, with particular parties unless that statement reflects the actual implementation and arrangements.
Where Google user data is processed, its use and any permitted disclosure must comply with the applicable Google API Services User Data Policy and the disclosures made to users.
7. Security
The School aims to protect information handled by its applications through appropriate measures suited to the systems and information involved.
The specific safeguards used, including any relevant access controls and technical protections, should be confirmed by the application administrators before detailed security claims are made in this policy.
Users should keep their account credentials secure and report suspected unauthorised access through the School's designated support channel.
8. Access, correction and deletion requests
If you have a question about personal information associated with an application, or wish to request access, correction or deletion where applicable, contact the School using the official contact details published on its website.
Requests may be subject to identity verification, applicable school requirements, legal obligations, and any necessary retention requirements.
The School will confirm its process for handling these requests, including whether requests can be fulfilled directly or must be referred to an application administrator or service provider.
9. Third-party services
These applications may rely on third-party services, including Google Sign-In, to provide their functionality.
Google processes information in accordance with its own applicable policies. You can review Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
The School's own handling of information through these applications is described by this Privacy Policy and any applicable supplementary notices.
10. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy will be updated when the applications, their data practices, or applicable requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Where required, users will be notified of material changes and provided with any necessary additional information or consent requests.
