Catalina Mobile - Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 05/19/2025
Catalina Mobile Application ("Catalina", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle user data in compliance with the guidelines and requirements of the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, particularly in relation to our integration with the Orbund Student Information System (SIS).
1. No Local Data Storage
Catalina does not store, maintain, or cache any personal user data on the device or within the application's local storage. All data access is handled securely and transiently via encrypted network connections with the Orbund SIS.
- No persistent storage of personal information (e.g., names, email addresses, biometric data).
- No caching or saving of session data, login credentials, or sensitive academic records on the device.
2. Data Access and Use
Catalina accesses student and staff information solely for the purpose of providing real-time functionalities enabled by the Orbund SIS integration. These include:
- Viewing academic and attendance data.
- Biometric identification for clock-in/out functionality.
- Secure login and session validation.
All data access is:
- Read-only and transient
- Conducted via secure API calls (HTTPS)
- Immediately discarded after use
3. Biometric Data Handling
Catalina interacts with biometric devices (fingerprint scanners) to verify identity. However:
- Biometric data is not stored locally on the device or app.
- All captured data is directly transmitted to Orbund via secure channels.
- Catalina acts strictly as a passthrough interface and does not retain any biometric identifiers.
4. Authentication & User Sessions
User authentication is securely processed via Orbund's authentication system. Catalina does not store:
- Login credentials
- Tokens
- Session keys beyond active memory (RAM)
When the session ends or the app is closed, any transient data is destroyed.
5. Third-Party Services
Catalina does not integrate with or share data with third-party services outside of Orbund.
6. Data Security
We follow industry-standard practices to ensure all data transmitted between the Catalina application and Orbund servers is protected, including:
- SSL/TLS encryption
- Token-based authentication (if applicable)
- Immediate disposal of temporary data after use
7. Compliance with Google & Apple Guidelines Catalina complies with:
- Google Play User Data Policy: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469
- Apple App Store Data Collection and Storage Guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/
We ensure that:
- User data is never sold or used for advertising.
- No unnecessary permissions are requested.
