Privacy policy

Last updated: [DD Month 2026] · 4 min read

Scoily ("we", "us", "Scoily") is a private space for parents and guardians to stay connected with their child's school class. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We've tried to write it in plain language rather than pure legalese.

The short version: Scoily only collects what's needed to run the app for your family and class. We don't sell your data, we don't use advertising trackers, and children never hold their own account — everything about a child is entered and controlled by their parent or guardian.

01Who this applies to

This policy covers the Scoily mobile app and this website. Scoily is currently available to parents and guardians of children at primary schools in Ireland.

02Information we collect

Account information — your email address and password (your password is hashed and never visible to us or anyone else), or, if you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, the name and email address those services share with us.

Profile information — your display name and, if you add one, a profile photo.

Information about your children — entered by you, the parent or guardian: first name, date of birth, class/school enrolment, and any optional health or allergy notes you choose to add for event organisers.

Content you create — messages, announcements, board posts, poll responses, event RSVPs, and any photos or documents you upload to a class or household.

Household information — links between co-parents or guardians who share access to the same child.

Device information — a device token used solely to deliver push notifications, and basic device/app version details used to diagnose bugs.

We do not collect your precise location, and we do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers in the app.

03Why we collect it

  • To create and secure your account
  • To connect you with your child's class, school and other parents in that class
  • To operate core features: chat, announcements, events, polls, and class funds
  • To send you notifications relevant to your child's class
  • To keep the platform safe — for example, acting on reports of inappropriate content
  • To respond when you contact support

04Children's privacy

Scoily is built for use by parents and guardians — children do not create accounts, do not log in, and cannot access the app directly. Any information about a child is provided and controlled entirely by their parent or guardian, who can edit or remove it at any time from within the app.

05Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with the service providers that help us run Scoily, and only to the extent needed:

  • Supabase — our database, authentication and file storage provider, hosted within the EU.
  • Google Sign-In / Apple Sign-In — only if you choose to log in using one of these, to verify your identity.
  • [Push notification provider] — to deliver notifications to your device.

Other parents in your child's class can see the display name, photo, and content you choose to post to that class — never your personal phone number or private email address unless you explicitly share it yourself in a direct message.

06Where your data is stored

Your data is stored with our infrastructure provider in the European Union (Ireland). Scoily is currently an Ireland-only service.

07How long we keep your data

We keep your account and content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your account and associated personal data, other than what we're required to retain for legal or safety reasons.

08Your rights, and how to use them

Because Scoily operates in Ireland, you have rights under GDPR to access, correct, export, restrict, or delete your personal data. We've built these directly into the app so you don't need to wait on us:

  • Export your data — from Profile, you can download a copy of your data at any time.
  • Delete your account — from Profile → Delete account, you can permanently remove your account and its data.
  • Correct your information — you can edit your profile and your children's details at any time from within the app.

For anything not covered by these tools — or if you have a question about your data — contact us at support@scoily.ie.

09Security

All data is encrypted in transit. Access to your household and class data is restricted to the people you'd expect — members of the same household or class — enforced at the database level, not just in the app's interface.

10Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies, advertising trackers, or third-party analytics. The Scoily app does not use advertising trackers either.

11Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll notify you in the app before they take effect. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
