Data Storage and Security

All personal information is stored on secure servers located in India, ensuring compliance with local data residency requirements. We employ industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, including SSL certificates and secure database protocols.

Our security measures include regular system updates, access controls, and continuous monitoring for unauthorized activities. Staff members who handle personal data receive ongoing privacy training and sign confidentiality agreements.

Your Rights and Choices

Sharing and Disclosure

We may share limited information with educational partners, guest instructors, and journalism organizations when you participate in collaborative projects or networking events. Such sharing occurs only with your prior consent and for legitimate educational purposes.

In cases where law enforcement agencies request information under valid legal procedures, we comply with Indian jurisdiction requirements while protecting your privacy to the fullest extent possible.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses essential cookies to maintain your login session and remember your preferences. We also employ analytics cookies to understand how students interact with course materials, helping us identify areas for improvement.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect certain functionality like progress tracking and personalized content recommendations. We don't use cookies for advertising or behavioral targeting.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active, plus an additional two years to comply with educational record-keeping standards in India. Course completion certificates and academic transcripts are maintained permanently as part of our institutional records.

When you request account deletion, we remove personal identifiers within 30 days while preserving anonymized learning analytics that help improve our programs for future students.

International Transfers

While we primarily store data within India, some third-party educational tools and communication platforms we use may process information internationally. We ensure all such partners maintain adequate privacy protections through contractual agreements and compliance certifications.
