Privacy Policy
Tutoring Tracker ("the app", "we", "us") is a tool for private tutors to record their students, tutoring sessions, hours and payments. This policy explains what data the app handles and how it is protected.
Who the app is for
The account holder is a tutor. The tutor enters information about their own teaching, including details of the students they teach. The app is a personal record-keeping tool and is not directed to children.
Information we collect
- Account information — your email address and password, used to create and secure your account and to sign you in.
- Records you enter — information you choose to add about your students and lessons, which may include a student's name and phone number, and lesson details such as dates, hours, courses, prices and payment status.
- Your schedule — the weekly lesson plan you build, changes you make to individual dates, one-off lessons, the clock time of a lesson you log, and any regular commitments you block out (for example a day job or lectures).
- App preferences — small settings such as your timetable hours, 12/24-hour display, light or dark theme, and whether the daily reminder is switched on and at what time.
The app does not collect your location, contacts, photos, device identifiers for advertising, or any payment-card details. Tutoring Tracker contains no third-party advertising and does not sell your data.
Usage analytics and crash reports
The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics to understand which screens are used and to find bugs. These record events such as "opened the schedule" or "a screen failed", along with technical information about the device, the app version and a randomly generated app-instance identifier. They do not record the content of your records — no student names, no lesson details, no amounts. The identifier is not an advertising identifier and is not used to target advertising, because the app shows none.
A crash report may include a diagnostic message and the sequence of actions leading up to the fault, which we use only to fix the fault.
Email verification
When you create an account we send a message to your email address so you can confirm it belongs to you. This protects your records from someone signing up with an address that is not theirs. We also send a message if you ask to reset your password. These are the only emails the app sends you; there are no marketing emails. The messages are sent from our own mailbox at the mhfhijab.com domain through our email provider, Hostinger, which handles them in transit on our behalf.
Reminders and notifications
If you switch on the daily reminder, the app schedules a notification on your own device at the time you choose. The reminder is generated locally by your phone — no notification service is involved, and nothing about your lessons leaves your device to produce it. You can turn it off at any time in the app, or in your device's notification settings.
How the information is used
- To provide the core features — storing and displaying your students, sessions, schedule, analytics, invoices and reports.
- To confirm your email address when you sign up, and to let you reset your password.
- To authenticate you and keep your data separate from other tutors' data.
Where the data is stored
Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore). Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and is stored under your account so that only you can access it after signing in. Firebase is operated by Google; see Google's Firebase privacy information.
Sharing
We do not sell your data and we do not share it for advertising. We share it only with the providers that operate the service on our behalf — Google (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Analytics and Crashlytics) for storage and diagnostics, Hostinger for sending account emails, and Apple or Google for verifying a purchase you make — and where we are required to by law. Any invoice or report PDF you generate is created on your device and shared only when you choose to share or send it.
Data retention & deletion
Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. You can delete individual students and records at any time inside the app. To delete your entire account and all associated data, open Settings → Profile → Danger zone → Delete account in the app and confirm with your password. The deletion happens immediately and cannot be undone. Your purchase record is released at the same time, so the purchase can be used again if you later create a new account. We may keep a minimal, non-identifying record of a transaction where tax or accounting law requires it. If you are locked out and cannot sign in, email us at the address below from your account email and we will delete it for you.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to some processing. The app gives you the first and third of these directly: Download All Data in Settings exports everything to a spreadsheet, and Delete account removes it permanently. For anything else, write to support@mhfhijab.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Your data is stored on Google Firebase infrastructure and may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, under the safeguards Google applies to international transfers.
If you are a tutor recording students
The records you enter about the people you teach are yours, and you decide what goes in them. Where data-protection law applies to you, you are the controller of that information and we act only as a processor storing it for you. Keeping a proper basis for holding it, and answering a student who asks what you hold, is your responsibility. Our Terms of Use set this out in full.
Children's privacy
The app is intended for use by tutors (adults) and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly create accounts for children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
