Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect the information you give us when you create an account or use Teacherly: name, email, phone, location, profile photo, bio, qualifications, TRCN number, uploaded documents, job posts, tutoring requests, bookings, reviews, and messages.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate the platform and match teachers with schools and parents
• To verify credentials and display profiles in the public directory
• To process bookings, payments, and communications between users
• To improve the platform and prevent fraud or abuse

3. What We Share

Teacher profiles (name, photo, subjects, location, ratings, verification status) are visible to other users. Job posts and tutoring requests are visible to relevant parties. We do not sell your personal data.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections and row-level access controls, to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure — please use a strong password and keep it private.

5. Your Rights

You may access, update, or delete your profile information at any time from your dashboard. You can request full account deletion through support.

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to understand how the platform is used.

7. Children

Teacherly accounts are for adults (18+). Parents create accounts on behalf of their children; we do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the platform.
