4. Consent for WhatsApp & RCS Data Processing

Where required by applicable law or platform policy, DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE will obtain appropriate consent before sending business-initiated communications through WhatsApp or RCS.

Consent may be obtained through:

  • Enquiry forms;
  • Checkboxes;
  • Direct requests;
  • Communication preferences;

Consent for promotional communications will not be assumed merely because an individual has provided a telephone number for an unrelated purpose where applicable law requires separate consent.

Users may withdraw consent or opt out of optional communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

Google’s current RCS acceptable-use requirements specifically require notice and consent before soliciting end users and require businesses to promptly respect opt-out requests.

Meta’s business terms likewise place obligations on businesses concerning appropriate notices, permissions and lawful bases for processing and sharing business data.

  1. Consent provided by the individual or authorised person;

  4. Compliance with a legal obligation;
  5. Legitimate and lawful operational purposes where recognised by applicable law;
  6. Prevention, detection or investigation of fraud or misuse;
  7. Protection of the security and integrity of our systems; and
  8. Establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights.

Where consent is the applicable basis, the Institute will seek to provide appropriate information about the purpose of processing.

6. How We Use Collected Data

We may use personal information to:

  • Respond to enquiries;
  • Contact students or parents about requested services;

Retention periods may depend upon the type of information and purpose, including:

  • Admission records;
  • Student/service records;
  • Financial and accounting records;
  • Consent records;
  • Communication records;
  • Legal or regulatory requirements;
  • Security logs; and
  • Dispute or complaint records.

When personal data is no longer required, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, operational and security requirements.

A deletion request does not necessarily require immediate deletion where retention is legally required, necessary for legal claims, required for financial/accounting purposes, or otherwise permitted by law.

8. Data Sharing with Third Parties

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE may use carefully selected third-party service providers to operate its services.

Depending on the services used, recipients may include:

Meta / WhatsApp

Where WhatsApp Business services are used, relevant communication data may be processed through Meta/WhatsApp infrastructure in accordance with applicable Meta terms and policies.

Meta’s terms require businesses using applicable business tools to have appropriate rights, permissions and lawful bases for the personal information they provide or process.

Google / RCS Providers

Where RCS for Business is used, communications may be processed through Google/Jibe and relevant messaging infrastructure.

Google’s current RCS documentation states that RCS for Business is a business messaging platform and that applicable terms and privacy requirements govern the processing of message and personal data.

Telecom Operators

RCS, SMS and related messaging may involve telecom operators, messaging partners or communication service providers necessary to transmit communications.

Payment Providers

Where payments are offered online, payment service providers may process transaction information necessary to complete the payment.

Technology and Hosting Providers

Website hosting, security, analytics, email, database, cloud and technical-support providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services.

Legal or Government Authorities

Information may be disclosed where required by applicable law, court order, governmental direction, regulatory requirement, or where reasonably necessary to protect legal rights or safety.

We do not intend to sell personal data to third parties.

9. Security Measures & Encryption

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE takes reasonable technical, organisational and administrative measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Depending on the service, safeguards may include:

  • Access controls;
  • Authentication controls;
  • Password protection;
  • Secure administrative practices;
  • Encryption in transit where supported;
  • Encryption or equivalent protection at rest where supported;
  • Limited access to personal information;
  • Monitoring and logging;
  • Security updates;
  • Backup controls;
  • Vendor due diligence; and
  • Incident-management procedures.

Security measures cannot guarantee absolute security.

Users should avoid sending passwords, banking PINs, payment-card security codes, authentication credentials or other highly confidential information through ordinary WhatsApp, RCS, SMS or email messages.

RCS infrastructure itself may have specific encryption characteristics. Google’s current security documentation explains that RCS messages are encrypted between the user’s device and Google’s servers and between Google’s servers and messaging partners, but RCS for Business does not provide end-to-end encryption.

10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

  • Website functionality;
  • Session management;
  • Security;
  • User preferences;
  • Performance analysis;
  • Traffic measurement;
  • Service improvement; and
  • Other disclosed purposes.

Where third-party technologies are used, the relevant third party may process technical information according to its own terms and policies.

Users may be able to control cookies through browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Where applicable law requires consent for particular cookies or tracking technologies, we will use an appropriate consent mechanism.

11. Data Transfer & Storage (India-Based)

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE is based in Nashik, Maharashtra, India.

We intend to maintain appropriate business and operational records in India where reasonably practicable. However, third-party technology providers, including global messaging, cloud, hosting or payment providers, may process or store information outside India depending upon their infrastructure and applicable service arrangements.

Where personal data is transferred, accessed or processed outside India, we will seek to do so in accordance with applicable law, contractual safeguards and relevant platform requirements.

Users acknowledge that internet-based communications may involve infrastructure located in multiple jurisdictions.

12. User Rights (Access, Correction, Deletion)

Subject to applicable law and verification requirements, individuals may have rights relating to their personal data, including rights to:

  • Request information about personal data processed by us;
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • Request deletion where legally applicable;
  • Withdraw consent where consent is the applicable basis;
  • Opt out of optional promotional communications;
  • Raise concerns regarding processing; and
  • Exercise other rights available under applicable Indian law.

Requests should be submitted to:

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE

Email: vedantskadam2011@gmail.com

Phone: 9960226477

To protect privacy, we may need to verify the identity or authority of the person submitting a request.

Where deletion is requested, certain information may need to be retained to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, security or dispute-related requirements.

13. Policy for Children

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE may provide educational services to students who are minors.

Where personal data relating to a child is processed, the Institute will seek to comply with applicable legal requirements relating to children and parental or lawful guardian consent.

Parents or lawful guardians should contact the Institute if they believe that personal information relating to a child has been collected or processed improperly.

We do not knowingly encourage children to provide unnecessary personal information through public communication channels.

Users should not publish or send sensitive information about children through public forms, comments or ordinary messaging channels unless it is necessary and appropriately authorised.

The Institute may implement additional safeguards for child-related information where required by applicable law or the nature of the service.

14. WhatsApp and RCS Communication Preferences

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE respects user communication preferences.

If you have opted into WhatsApp or RCS communication, we may send messages relevant to the consent or service context for which the communication was authorised.

Where promotional messaging is involved, we will use appropriate consent and opt-out mechanisms as required by applicable law and platform policy.

You may request that optional communications stop by:

  • Using an available unsubscribe or opt-out instruction;
  • Replying with the applicable opt-out instruction where supported;
  • Contacting the Institute by phone; or
  • Emailing vedantskadam2011@gmail.com.

Stopping promotional communications may not stop essential service, transactional, security or legally necessary communications where those communications may lawfully continue.

RCS policy requires businesses to comply with user opt-out requests, and Google may suspend services where policy requirements are violated.

15. Third-Party Platforms and Links

Our website or communications may contain links to third-party websites or services.

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE is not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices or content of independent third-party services.

Users should review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information.

Similarly, WhatsApp, Meta, Google, telecom operators, payment providers and other service providers operate under their own applicable terms and privacy policies.

16. Data Minimisation and Sensitive Information

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE aims to collect information that is relevant to legitimate educational, administrative, communication and legal purposes.

Users should not submit unnecessary sensitive personal information through public website forms, WhatsApp, RCS, SMS or email.

In particular, users should not ordinarily send:

  • Passwords;
  • Banking PINs;
  • Authentication credentials;
  • Security-question answers;
  • Complete payment-card security information;
  • Government identification information unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process; or
  • Other highly confidential information through ordinary messaging channels.

Google’s RCS policy restricts collection and use of certain personal and confidential information outside secure flows, reinforcing the importance of minimising sensitive information in business messaging.

17. Data Breach and Security Incidents

If DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE becomes aware of a personal-data security incident, we will assess the incident and take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances.

Where applicable law requires notification to affected individuals, regulators, the Data Protection Board of India, service providers or other authorities, we will follow the applicable legal requirements.

We may also take steps to contain, investigate and remediate the incident.

18. Updates to Privacy Policy

DNYANDEEP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Updates may be necessary because of:

  • Changes in applicable law;
  • Changes in regulatory requirements;
  • Changes in WhatsApp/Meta policies;
  • Changes in RCS policies;
  • Changes in technology;
  • Changes to our services; or
  • Improvements to our privacy practices.

The revised Privacy Policy will be published on the website with a new “Last Updated” date.

Where appropriate, material changes may also be communicated through a suitable channel.

19. Governing Law (India)

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of India.

Applicable privacy and data-protection laws may include the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and applicable rules, notifications and regulations issued under or in connection with it, to the extent applicable and in force.

The Institute will also comply with other applicable Indian legal requirements concerning telecommunications, electronic communications, consumer protection, information technology, education and data protection, as applicable to its activities.
