School Bus Tracker helps a school run its buses and tell parents what happened. This page says what the app keeps and why.

What we keep

Staff: name, mobile number and school for each controller and driver.
Students: name, class, section, the stop they board at, and the parent's mobile number, as entered by the school.
Trips: which students were marked boarded or absent, and when.
Location: the phone's position while the app is open, to log a stop or show the bus on the map. The app does not track in the background.

Who sees it

A school's students, parents' numbers and trips are visible only to that school's controller and drivers, and to the IfStatic administrator who sets the school up.

Services we use

Firebase (Google) sends the one-time sign-in code by SMS and delivers notifications.
WhatsApp Business (Meta) delivers messages to parents. The parent's number and the message are sent to Meta for that.
OpenStreetMap supplies map tiles, and a routing service draws the road route through the stops. Stop locations are sent to it for that.

Deleting your data

A controller or driver can delete their own login from the Account screen in the app. The school's students, buses and routes stay with the school. To have a school's data removed, the school's controller can ask IfStatic.
