We handle your personal data in accordance with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the ‘DPDP Act’) and other applicable Indian laws.

- Your full name.
- Your mobile number.
- Your email address.
- Your course or programme of interest.
- Your city, state, and educational background (where you choose to share it).

3. Lawful Basis and Consent
We process your personal data on the basis of the consent you provide when you voluntarily submit an enquiry or interact with our services, and for the legitimate purposes described above. By submitting your details, you consent to being contacted by our admissions and counselling team through phone, SMS, email, WhatsApp, or other messaging channels.

4. How Your Data Is Stored and Secured
We implement reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include access controls, encrypted data transmission where appropriate, and restricting access to personal data to authorised personnel who need it to perform their duties.

5. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including admissions, counselling, and any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Admission enquiry data is typically retained for the duration of the active admission cycle and for a reasonable period thereafter. When your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.

- Service providers who help us operate our website and manage admission enquiries, under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Government authorities or regulators, where disclosure is required by applicable law.
