Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information you may choose to share with VidyaSetu Admission, how it is used, and the boundaries of our current Phase 1 digital infrastructure.
Last reviewed: October 2024 [Placeholder - Subject to formal legal ratification]
Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the VidyaSetu Admission public website (VidyaSetu Admission) and describes how information is handled during the current Phase 1 of the website's operation.
This policy does not cover information shared after you leave this website, including information sent directly via WhatsApp or other communication channels, which are governed by their own respective policies.
Information You Voluntarily Enter
The enquiry form on this website allows you to optionally enter:
- Your full name
- Your mobile and WhatsApp number
- Your email address
- Your city and state
- Academic level, desired course, and institution preference
- Preferred study location and admission route interest
- Optional entrance score or percentile
The form does not ask for, and you should not enter: Aadhaar numbers, PAN numbers, bank or card details, passwords, academic transcripts, or identity document copies.
Why You Are Asked for This Information
The information you enter is intended to help structure an introductory admission enquiry message. This helps a VidyaSetu Admission counsellor understand your academic background and goals before the initial advisory conversation.
No automated processing, scoring, or profiling is applied to this form data on our servers.
WhatsApp Deep-Link Behaviour
When you click “Continue to WhatsApp,” your browser prepares a pre-filled message using the values you entered. This message is constructed locally in your browser. Clicking “Open WhatsApp” opens the WhatsApp application (or WhatsApp Web) on your device with this message pre-filled.
You control whether the message is sent. No message is dispatched automatically. You must actively tap Send within WhatsApp.
Once you choose to send a WhatsApp message, that interaction is subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policy and terms of service. VidyaSetu Admission does not have control over WhatsApp's data handling.
Data Storage — Phase 1 Limitations
In the current Phase 1 of this website:
- The enquiry form stores no data in any database or server.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies, or browser storage is written by the form. - No CRM, lead management system, or email automation is connected to this form.
- No personally identifiable information from the form is transmitted to any third-party analytics service.
- Form values are held in React component memory only for the duration of your active browser session, and are cleared when you close the page.
Third-Party Services and External Links
This website may use web fonts (Google Fonts) and other standard infrastructure. Standard hosting infrastructure may process request metadata (e.g., IP addresses, request timestamps) in server access logs as is normal for any web server.
This website may contain links to external websites, including university portals and government counselling platforms. VidyaSetu Admission is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.
Data Minimization
VidyaSetu Admission's approach is to collect only the minimum information genuinely useful for an initial advisory conversation. We encourage students and parents not to share sensitive personal, financial, or identity information through this website's public form.
Security Approach
We take reasonable precautions with this website's infrastructure. However, no digital system can guarantee absolute security. We recommend not sharing highly sensitive personal or financial information via any public web form.
Student and Minor Privacy
This website is intended for students who are typically 17 years of age or older (12th-grade and undergraduate/postgraduate level). If a parent or guardian is completing this form on behalf of a minor student, we ask that only the minimum necessary academic information be shared.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as VidyaSetu Admission's digital infrastructure and services evolve (for example, when backend systems, payment processing, or CRM are introduced in future phases). Material changes will be reflected in the “Last reviewed” date at the top of this page.
Continued use of this website after a policy update constitutes acknowledgement of the revised policy.
