Silaty Portal for Android (Google Play)
Last Updated: August 24, 2026
Welcome to Silaty Portal, a school communication application designed for authorized school staff and administrators. The application helps schools communicate with parents and share school-related information, including homework, resources, announcements, feedback, and other educational content.
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the Android version of Silaty Portal distributed through the Google Play Store. It explains what information may be collected, how it is used, how it is protected, and how it is shared when you use the Android application. A separate privacy policy is published for the iOS version of the application.
Silaty Portal is intended for authorized users associated with participating schools, including school staff, teachers, administrators, and other authorized personnel. The application may communicate with the corresponding parent application and school system to deliver school information and communication.
Accounts are created and managed by the participating school. The application is not intended for public self-registration.
The application may process school-related content created or uploaded by authorized staff or administrators, such as:
We do not collect the Android Advertising ID, precise or approximate device location, contacts, call logs, SMS messages, installed application lists, or microphone audio. The application does not contain advertising or third-party advertising SDKs.
Information processed through Silaty Portal is used to provide and maintain the school's communication services. This includes:
Information is not used for advertising, profiling, or cross-application tracking purposes.
The Android application requests only the permissions required to deliver school communication features. Runtime permissions are requested at the time the related feature is used, and may be granted or denied through the Android permission prompt.
| Android Permission | Type | Why It Is Used |
|---|---|---|
INTERNET |
Normal | Securely communicate with the school's servers, retrieve school content, send messages, and upload permitted attachments. |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Normal | Detect whether the device has network connectivity before attempting to synchronize or retrieve information. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS |
Runtime (Android 13+) | Display notifications about homework, resources, announcements, feedback, and chat messages. |
VIBRATE |
Normal | Provide a vibration alert with notifications, where supported by the device. |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
Normal | Restore notification delivery registration after the device restarts. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Normal | Where used, complete short-running tasks such as attachment upload or message delivery reliably. |
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES |
Runtime (Android 13+) | Only when a user chooses to attach an image to school content or a chat message. |
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE |
Runtime (Android 12 and below) | Legacy equivalent used for selecting a permitted document or image to attach. |
CAMERA |
Runtime (optional) | Only if the user chooses to capture a new photo for a profile picture or an attachment. |
File, media, and camera access is used only at the moment a user actively selects or captures a file. The application does not scan, index, or upload media in the background.
Permissions can be reviewed or revoked at any time in Settings → Apps → Silaty Portal → Permissions. Revoking a permission may disable the related feature but does not otherwise prevent use of the application.
Silaty Portal uses push notifications to inform users when school-related content or communications are available. Notifications may be triggered when an administrator or authorized staff member publishes homework, resources, announcements, feedback, or sends a chat message.
Notifications are delivered through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Google's notification service for Android. To enable this, the application registers a device notification token with the service. Notification behavior can be controlled at any time in Settings → Notifications or in the application's notification settings on the device.
Silaty Portal provides a chat facility for communication between authorized school users and parents. Messages may contain text and permitted attachments such as images or documents.
Chat content and attachments are processed only to provide the communication service, maintain conversation history, deliver messages, and support the school's legitimate administrative purposes.
Users may use the application's password reset or password change functionality. Authentication information is used only to verify the user's account and maintain secure access to the application.
On Android, session and authentication tokens are stored in the application's private storage sandbox, which is not accessible to other applications on the device. Users should keep their login credentials confidential and should not share passwords with other persons.
The Android application uses a limited number of third-party services that support application functionality, hosting, notifications, storage, security, or diagnostics.
Firebase Cloud Messaging is used to deliver push notifications to user devices. Firebase may process device and technical information, including the notification token and Firebase installation identifier, as necessary to provide the notification service.
Google Play services components on the device support notification delivery, application integrity, and security functionality on Android.
The application is distributed through Google Play. Google may collect installation, update, and crash information independently of the application in accordance with its own policies.
More information about Google's privacy practices is available in Google's Privacy Policy .
The following summary reflects the data handling declared for this application in the Google Play Data Safety section.

Data is encrypted in transit, and users may request account or data deletion as described in Section 15.
We do not sell users' personal information. Information is shared only as necessary to operate the school communication service.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through the application. Data transmitted between the application and supported servers uses secure communication over HTTPS/TLS.
Application data stored on the device is kept in the private application sandbox provided by Android. Access to school information and communication features is restricted to authorized users based on the school's access controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the school service, maintain communication records, meet school administrative requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
The applicable school may determine retention requirements for school records and user accounts. Requests relating to school records or account deletion may need to be directed to the relevant school or authorized administrator.
Depending on applicable law and the school's policies, users may have rights regarding their personal information, including requesting access, correction, or deletion of information.
For school-managed account information, users may need to contact their school administrator.
Users may request deletion of their account and associated personal information by emailing info@orisonsoftware.com from the address registered with the school, or by contacting their school administrator.
Because accounts are created and controlled by the participating school, deletion requests are verified with the school before being processed. Certain school records may be retained where required by the school's policies or by applicable law. Uninstalling the application removes locally stored data from the device but does not by itself delete a school-managed account.
Silaty Portal is intended for authorized school staff, administrators, and other authorized adult users. It is not designed or marketed for children, is not enrolled in the Google Play Families program, and is not intended to be used independently by children to create accounts.
School-related information concerning students may be processed as part of the school's communication and educational services. Such information is handled according to the school's policies and applicable privacy laws.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the application, our services, or applicable legal requirements. When material changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page and the "Last Updated" date will be revised.
