Privacy Policy

Adhyayan Public School, KH 288/2, Gali No. 13, Sain Vihar, near Saviour Tower, Ghaziabad, UP, is the Data Fiduciary for personal data collected through this website. You can reach us at adhyayanpublicschool@gmail.com or +91 92112 11768.

We only collect what you type into our forms:

• Admission inquiry: parent or guardian name, email address, phone number, the child's name, the class applied for, and your message.
• Teacher application: your full name, email address, phone number, subject, years of experience, qualifications and your resume (PDF). The resume is emailed to our HR team as an attachment and is not stored on our website or database.
• A record that you gave consent, and the date and time of your submission.

If you allow it in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to see, in aggregate, which pages visitors view and how they found the site. We do not use advertising tools and we do not build profiles of visitors. To protect the forms and admin login from abuse, our server keeps your IP address for at most 24 hours to limit repeated attempts; it is not stored with your submission and is deleted automatically.

Admission inquiries include a child's name and class. We only accept these details from a parent or legal guardian, who confirms this and gives consent when submitting the form. We use a child's details only to respond to the admission inquiry, and never for tracking, behavioural monitoring or advertising.

Our website, including the Gallery, About and Home pages, shows photos from school events, classrooms and trips. Some of these photos include students.

• We only publish photos of students whose parent or guardian has given consent.
• We never publish students' names, class or section, or any other detail that identifies a child alongside a photo.
• Photos are stored and delivered by our hosting and image providers (Vercel and Cloudinary).
• We do not use photos of students for advertising outside the school's own website, prospectus and official school pages.

If you would like a photo of your child removed, email adhyayanpublicschool@gmail.com or call +91 92112 11768 and tell us which photo. We will take it down promptly. You can withdraw photo consent at any time.

• To reply to your admission inquiry or review your job application.
• To send you a confirmation email that we received your form.
• To contact you about next steps you have asked for, such as a campus visit.

We use your data only for these purposes, on the basis of the consent you give when you submit a form.

We never sell your data. We share it only with service providers that run this website for us, under their data-protection terms:

• Vercel — website hosting.
• MongoDB Atlas — secure database where form submissions are stored.
• Cloudinary — stores and delivers the photos shown on the website.
• Resend — sends the notification and confirmation emails.
• Google — Google Analytics and the map on our Contact page, only if you allow them (see Cookies below).

We may also disclose data if the law requires it.

• Admission inquiries: up to 12 months after the inquiry, or until the admission process for that session ends, whichever is later.
• Teacher applications: up to 12 months after you apply.

After that, we delete the data unless the law requires us to keep it longer. If your child joins the school, admission records are then handled under the school's student-records process.

• Essential: your theme (light/dark) and language choice are saved in your browser so the site remembers them. Staff who sign in to the admin area receive a secure login cookie. These do not need consent.
• Google Analytics: sets Google cookies to count visits and see which pages are used. It only loads if you choose "Allow all".
• Google Maps: the map on our Contact page is provided by Google, which may set its own cookies. We only load it if you choose "Allow all" or click "Show map".

You can change your choice at any time from "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.

Data is sent over encrypted HTTPS connections and stored in an access-controlled database. Only authorised school staff can view submissions, through a password-protected admin area.

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can:

• Ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct, complete or update it.
• Ask us to erase it.
• Withdraw your consent at any time (this does not affect processing already done).
• Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf.
• Raise a grievance with us, as described below.

To use any of these rights, email adhyayanpublicschool@gmail.com or call +91 92112 11768. We will respond as soon as possible, and within the time the law requires.

For any concern about your personal data, contact our Grievance Officer: The Principal, Adhyayan Public School, KH 288/2, Gali No. 13, Sain Vihar, near Saviour Tower, Ghaziabad, UP — adhyayanpublicschool@gmail.com, +91 92112 11768.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If we start using your data in a new way, we will ask for your consent again.
