Your family details stay on your device

Information saved in your browser

If you use My Children, the names or nicknames, P.E. days and food preferences you enter are stored in this browser or installed app. Schoolday does not intentionally send those profile details to its operator or to a database.

Use a nickname rather than a full legal name, and do not enter medical, allergy or other sensitive information.

Device storage and installation

Schoolday uses browser storage to remember family profiles, essential app settings and your analytics choice. Its service worker stores the app icon and manifest needed for installation, but the main Schoolday screen requires an internet connection so that access and information can stay current.

Information handled when you visit

As with most websites, the hosting service may process technical request information such as an IP address, browser type, device details and security logs. Weather is requested directly from Open-Meteo for a fixed East Kilbride location, so Open-Meteo receives the normal technical information associated with that request.

Analytics and advertising

Schoolday does not use advertising or behavioural tracking. If you choose Accept analytics, Google Analytics is loaded to help the operator understand which Schoolday pages are visited and how the site is used. It may receive the page viewed, referrer, browser and device information, and approximate location derived from the normal technical information sent with a web request. Child names, P.E. days and food preferences are not included.

Google Analytics remains off until you accept. If accepted, it may set cookies named _ga and _ga_… to distinguish visits. Advertising storage and Google advertising signals remain disabled. Google processes the analytics information as the service provider.

You can reject analytics and continue using Schoolday. Use the Analytics choices button shown on the site to change or withdraw your choice at any time. Withdrawing stops future analytics collection and Schoolday attempts to remove its Google Analytics cookies from this device.

Deleting your information

Remove an individual profile from My Children, or clear Schoolday’s site data in your browser to erase all locally saved family details. Uninstalling the app alone may not clear browser storage.

Children and contact

Schoolday is intended to be set up and managed by a parent or carer, not used as a child account service. Privacy questions can be directed to Schoolday’s operator, Sean McCafferty. A dedicated public contact address will be added before wider release.
