Privacy notice for StudentWala — how Alpha Softwares handles data for schools and website visitors in India.

Last updated: 1 October 2026

1. Overview

Alpha Softwares runs StudentWala (https://school.studentwala.in) and https://studentwala.in. This policy explains how we handle personal data for website visitors, school users, and people whose details schools store in the app (students, parents, staff). See also our Terms and Conditions.

Schools usually decide why student data is collected; we process that data on their instructions. For account, sales, and support details we collect directly, Alpha Softwares is responsible under applicable Indian privacy law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

2. What we collect

  • From you: name, email, phone, school details, support messages, and billing info for paid add-ons.
  • School data: student and staff records, attendance, fees, exams, photos, and messages your school chooses to store or send.
  • Automatic: IP address, browser/device info, usage logs, and security events.
  • Integrations: delivery status from WhatsApp/SMS or payment references when you enable those features.

3. How we use and share data

We use data to provide and secure the Services, support schools, bill paid features, improve the product, and comply with law. We do not sell personal data. We may share data with hosting and support providers, integration partners you turn on, and authorities when legally required.

4. Retention and security

We keep data while your account is active and for a reasonable time after closure for backup and legal needs. Invoices may be kept longer for tax rules. We use access controls, HTTPS, and other measures appropriate for a school ERP; no system is 100% secure.

5. Cookies and marketing

The website may use essential and analytics cookies. The app uses session storage to keep you signed in. You can control cookies in your browser. We may send product updates by email or WhatsApp where allowed; you can opt out of marketing messages.

6. Your rights

You may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. For student records, contact your school first; we help schools with technical steps when they ask. Privacy concerns: email sales@alphaindia.in or use our contact page.

7. Children

We do not market directly to children. Schools must obtain required parent or guardian consent for student data and use the platform responsibly.
