Privacy Policy – Mid-Day Meal

This Privacy Policy describes how the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) Mobile Application handles information when used by school staff of Tamil Nadu State Government schools to report daily meal attendance. By using this application, you agree to the practices described herein.

Disclaimer This application is an operational tool developed for internal use by designated school staff. It is not an official publication of any government entity and does not represent the views or policies of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

Information Collection & Use

This application does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII). The only data processed by the application is the operational meal-count figures entered by authorised school staff, which are used solely for government reporting purposes. No personal data belonging to students, parents, or staff members is gathered at any point.

Third-Party Service Providers

This application does not engage any third-party service provider for data processing, analytics, advertising, or any other purpose. All data remains within the controlled government infrastructure and is never shared with external parties.

Security

Because no personal data is collected, there is no personal data at risk of exposure. Access to the application is restricted to authorised school staff via SMS-based OTP authentication. All data in transit is protected using industry-standard HTTPS encryption.

Links to Other Sites

This application does not contain links to external websites or third-party services. You will not be redirected outside the official MDM reporting environment during normal use.

Children's Privacy

This application is intended exclusively for use by adult school staff members. It is not directed at individuals under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13.

Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage users to review this page periodically. Continued use of the application following any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
