Parent consent
Before a child's details appear in NAALAI, a parent or guardian agrees to how they are used. It takes one short screen per child. You can change your mind at any time.
What you will see in the app
This is a preview of the consent screen. Nothing on this page is saved.
What the “Needed” consent covers
- Showing your child's homework, notices, events, things to bring and forms to sign.
- Letting the teachers who teach your child's class see which tasks are done or handed in.
- Keeping a record of your consent and of forms you sign.
We never use your child's data for advertising, never sell it and never build a profile of your child. See the Privacy Policy.
How your consent is recorded
So that the school and you have proof, NAALAI keeps a record of:
- who gave consent, for which child, and your relationship to the child;
- each option you ticked or left unticked;
- the date and time, your device and IP address;
- the one-time code check on your registered mobile number or email;
- the version of this page you agreed to.
You can see and download this record in the app.
Signing school forms
Some school posts are forms to sign, like a trip permission slip. A tick alone is not a signature, so NAALAI signs forms in one of two ways.
| Standard signature (default) | Legal-grade signature | |
|---|---|---|
| How | You draw your signature, then enter a one-time code sent to your registered mobile or email. | You sign with Aadhaar eSign through a licensed provider. |
| Proof | A signed PDF with an audit record: who, when, device, code check and a fingerprint of the document so any later change shows. | A digitally signed PDF recognised as a signature under the Information Technology Act, 2000. |
| Used for | Most school forms: trips, events, photo permission. | Forms the school marks as needing it. |
| Cost to you | Free | Free to parents; the school covers the provider's fee. |
Changing your mind
- Turn optional choices on or off any time in Settings → Privacy → Consents.
- Withdrawing the “Needed” consent removes your child from your NAALAI account. School records the school must keep, like forms already signed, are kept as the Privacy Policy describes.
