    1. Introduction

    Welcome to Eklabhya Classes Pvt. Ltd. ("we", "our", or "us"), a coaching institute located at Plot No. 11, Satyanagar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha – 751007. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and Student Portal. By using our website or Student Portal, you consent to the practices described here.

    2. Information We Collect

    • Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, and course preferences submitted through our enquiry form or Student Portal registration.
    • Google Account Information: When you sign in to the Student Portal using Google Sign-In, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We do not receive your Google password or any access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service.
    • Academic Information: Batch/group, timetable, assignments, test results, and progress records created within the Student Portal.
    • Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, and device/browser information collected through standard server logs and cookies.

    3. Google OAuth — How We Use It

    Our Student Portal offers Google Sign-In (OAuth 2.0) as an optional authentication method. If you choose "Sign in with Google":

    • We request only your basic profile information: name, email address, and profile picture.
    • We do not request access to your Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service.
    • Your Google password is never shared with or stored by us. We store only the session/authentication token needed to keep you signed in.

    4. How We Use Your Information

    • To authenticate and maintain your Student Portal account.
    • To respond to enquiries and admission requests.
    • To send academic notifications, timetable updates, and announcements.
    • To improve our website and services based on usage patterns.

    We process your information on the basis of your consent and to provide the services you request.

    5. Cookies

    Our website and Student Portal use cookies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features (including staying logged in) may not work. If we use a third-party analytics service, it may set its own cookies subject to its own privacy policy.

    6. Data Sharing

    We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the website and Student Portal — for example, our VPS hosting provider and Google (for sign-in) — and only to the extent needed, under confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law.

    7. Children's Data (Students Under 18)

    Many of our students are minors. For any student under 18 years of age:

    • We collect and process personal data only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
    • We do not use children's data for tracking, profiling, or targeted advertising.
    • A parent or guardian may review, correct, or request deletion of their child's data by contacting us using the details in Section 12.

    8. Data Retention

    We retain your personal information for as long as your Student Portal account is active or as needed to provide our services. After you request deletion (or after a reasonable period following account closure), we delete or anonymise your data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to keep certain records.

    9. Security

    We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Connections are secured with SSL/HTTPS. While we take reasonable steps, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

    10. Data Breach

    In the event of a personal data breach, we will take prompt remedial action and notify affected individuals and the relevant authority where required by applicable law.
