4. Legal basis

We process your data based on your consent, our legitimate interest in operating the college programme, and our legal obligations. Where India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) applies, we process personal data in line with its requirements.

5. Sharing and storage

We may share data with service providers that help us host, stream, or secure the Service (for example, cloud hosting and identity providers), always under appropriate safeguards. Data may be processed in India and other jurisdictions where our providers operate.

6. Retention

We retain personal data for as long as needed to provide the Service, meet college record-keeping requirements, and comply with law. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it in line with our retention practices.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. Contact the college to exercise these rights.

8. Security

We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted sessions and industry-standard authentication. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

9. Children

The Service is intended for college students and authorised adults. If you believe we have collected data from a minor without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
