Privacy Policy
Effective date: 13 November 2026
In short: Jenix School Bell has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. The app talks only to the school bell you connect to on your local Wi-Fi. Your settings stay on your phone and on your own bell. We do not collect, sell or share your personal data.
1. Who we are
This policy applies to the Jenix School Bell Android app (package one.jenix.schoolbell), the Jenix School Bell device firmware, and the website schoolbell.jenix.in, all provided by Jenix (“we”, “us”). The app lets a school set up and control a Jenix School Bell device: schedules, holidays, bell sounds, live announcements and firmware updates.
2. Information the app handles
All of the following stays on your phone or goes only to your own bell over your local Wi-Fi. None of it is sent to us.
- Saved bells – the bell's ID, name and local network address, stored in the app's private storage on your phone.
- Bell settings – school name, time zone, volume, bell schedules, holidays and the activity log. These are stored on the bell itself.
- Wi-Fi details – the school Wi-Fi name and password you enter, and the bell's own hotspot password, are sent only to the bell and stored on the bell.
- Sound files – audio files you pick with Android's file picker are copied to the bell (and optionally kept in the app's private storage as your sound library). They are not uploaded to us.
- Microphone – used only while you press and hold Announce. Your voice is streamed live to the bell's speaker over the local network. It is not recorded, stored or sent over the internet.
3. Information we do not collect
- We do not ask for your name, e-mail, phone number or any account details.
- We do not collect your location (see the Wi-Fi note below), contacts, photos or files other than sound files you explicitly pick.
- The app contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs.
- We do not sell or share any data with third parties.
4. Network and permissions
- Internet / network state – used to talk to the bell on your local network (for example at 192.168.4.1) and to check that connection. This local traffic uses plain HTTP because the bell has no internet of its own; it stays between your phone and your bell.
- Microphone – only for live announcements, as described above. You can refuse it; everything else keeps working.
- Location (nearby Wi-Fi) – Android only lets an app list nearby Wi-Fi networks when location access is allowed. The app uses it solely to show the school Wi-Fi networks you can join the bell to. It never reads, stores or sends your location. You can refuse it and type the network name instead.
App updates are delivered by Google Play under Google's own terms.
5. The bell device
When the bell is connected to a school Wi-Fi network that has internet access, it may contact the Jenix server one.jenix.in with its device ID only, to check whether optional cloud features have been enabled for it. No personal information, schedules, sounds or voice are sent. If you do not join the bell to an internet-connected Wi-Fi, it never goes online.
6. This website
schoolbell.jenix.in is an informational website with no sign-up forms, cookies, analytics or third-party fonts. Our web server may keep standard logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability.
7. Data retention and deletion
Your data lives on your phone and your bell, so you control it. See how to delete your data. We hold no copy of your app data, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side. If you want any device record removed from our server, e-mail us (section 11).
8. Children’s privacy
The app is a tool for school staff to manage bell hardware and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
9. Security
On first connection the app asks you to replace the bell's factory Wi-Fi password with your own. Keep that password private so only your staff can change the bell. Data in the app stays in Android's private app storage.
10. Changes to this policy
If the app's data practices change, we will update this page and the effective date above before the change takes effect.
