2. LOCAL STORAGE

Local storage is a client-side storage mechanism that allows web applications to store data on a user's device. It's an alternative to using server-side session management and cookies, and it can be useful for applications that don't require server-side state management or have a distributed architecture.

We do not use cookies in School Chimes. All user data is stored in local storage on the user's device

Why do we use Local Storage?

We use local storage in School Chimes to store user login credentials and session information. This allows users to stay logged in even if they close the browser, and reduces server load and latency by eliminating the need for frequent server requests to check authentication status.

How do we protect user data stored in Local Storage?

We take several measures to protect user data stored in local storage, including:

a. Encryption: All user data stored in local storage is encrypted using a secure encryption algorithm to protect against unauthorized access.

b. Access Controls: We implement access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access user data stored in local storage.
