Frequently asked questions.

No. Zonifyr manages device access through software policy, not physical collection. Students keep their phones throughout the school day. Restrictions apply based on where the device is and what schedule is active.

A Zone is a geographic campus boundary. A Schedule defines when a rule applies (class periods, lunch, testing). A Policy defines what the device may do during that Zone + Schedule combination. Together they let different moments in the school day have different device rules — automatically.

If your school configures a lunch schedule window, the policy associated with that window becomes active. Students on campus during lunch can have different access than during class periods — all without any manual intervention from staff.

Yes. Each school operates as its own environment in Zonifyr with its own zones, schedules, and policies. District-level oversight roles can be configured where applicable.

Policy changes are made by designated administrators in the admin portal. Teacher-level overrides depend on the role configuration your school sets up.

Physical systems require collection and return workflows and remove device access entirely. Zonifyr is a software-managed alternative: policies activate and deactivate based on campus context, students keep their devices, and emergency access is simpler to configure.

Zonifyr collects device identity and policy-activation events for enrolled managed devices. It does not collect message content, call content, browsing history from personally owned devices, or personal communication data.

Zonifyr does not store continuous GPS location history. Zone check-ins record when a policy activates or deactivates — not a continuous location trail.

Zonifyr is designed with emergency access in mind. Schools can configure policies around the communication functions they want to preserve. Exact capabilities depend on device platform and deployment configuration. Ask your school administrator for your school's specific policy.

Zonifyr Family is a companion product in development that is designed to extend device boundaries into the home after school hours — with schedules for homework, dinner, and bedtime. It is not yet generally available. See the Zonifyr Family page for details.

This depends on the policy your school has configured. Ask your school administrator for the specific policy that applies to your child's grade or program.

Zonifyr is designed for both platforms. Specific capabilities depend on device ownership model, enrollment type, and platform. Apple MDM vendor status is approved. Android Enterprise integration is in development. See the Technology page for full platform details.

Offline behavior depends on device type and configuration. This is reviewed during pilot setup and varies by deployment.

Traditional MDM platforms handle enrollment, app deployment, and compliance as static configurations. Zonifyr's focus is context-aware policy: device behavior changes based on where the device is and what the schedule says. It can complement an existing MDM rather than replace it.

Zonifyr Managed applies only to legitimately enrolled institutional devices. It is not designed to manage personally owned student phones without appropriate enrollment, consent, and platform authorization. Personal-device participation is handled by the parent-controlled Zonifyr Family architecture.

Zonifyr collects device enrollment and identity data, zone check-in and policy-activation events, administrative audit events, and policy configuration history. It does not collect message content, browsing history from personal devices, or continuous GPS location. See the Security page and Privacy Policy for full details.

Each school or district operates in an isolated tenant environment. Administrative users in one school cannot view or modify data belonging to another school.

No. Zonifyr does not collect message content, browsing history, or app usage data from personally owned phones. It manages what access is available based on your location and your school's schedule — nothing more.

Schools configure their policies to preserve access to emergency communication. Ask your school administrator what is permitted under your school's policy.

When your device exits the defined school zone, school-period policies are no longer active. Your school context ends when you leave campus.

Your school has set up different policies for different periods — class time may be more restricted than lunch, for example. Zonifyr applies the right policy for the moment automatically based on your school's schedule.
