The Nidaa Gate app lets guardians request their children's pickup at dismissal; the call is announced over the school's speakers, and the student is alerted on their own device.
Who owns your data
Each school runs its own Nidaa Gate server. Student and guardian records are created and stored by the school on that server, and the school is responsible for them. The app connects only to the server of the school you add. Your data is not sent to the app developer's servers, and we do not access it.
Data the app uses
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Guardian phone number | Sign-in and verification code (sent via the school's WhatsApp) |
| Guardian and student names | Show your linked children and announce the name when called |
| Student number and access code | Student sign-in to receive call alerts |
| Precise location | Confirm you are near the school when you request a call. Read only during a call; never tracked in the background |
| Student photos (if enabled by the school) | Help gate staff identify the student |
| Call history | Show request, announcement and arrival times to you and the school |
What we don't do
- No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics.
- We do not sell or share data with anyone.
- Location is never used outside an active call.
Data stored on your device
The school's server address, your sign-in session and your preferences (language, preferred gate). Removed when you sign out, remove the school from the app, or delete the app.
Permissions
- Location: only when you request a call.
- Camera: to scan the school's QR code when adding it. No images are stored.
Children
Student accounts are created by the school, not by the student, and students are not asked to enter any personal information.
Retention and deletion
Each school decides how long data is kept on its server. To correct or delete your data, contact your school's administration, or email us and we'll help.
