privacy policy
1. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you use our website, we may receive information such as:
- Parent or guardian name, phone number and email address
- Child’s name, age, class or standard and admission-related information
- Information voluntarily entered in enquiry, admission or contact forms
- Messages or information shared when contacting the school through WhatsApp, phone or email
- Information submitted while requesting a visit, admission information or other school-related assistance
- Basic technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address or website usage information where such features are enabled
- Any other information that you choose to provide directly to the school
We encourage parents and guardians to provide only the information that is reasonably necessary for their enquiry or interaction with the school.
2. Children’s Privacy
Pragati Patashala serves school-age children and therefore treats the privacy of children with particular care. Children should not independently submit personal information through the website without the knowledge or involvement of a parent, guardian or authorised adult. Where personal information relating to a child is required for an admission enquiry, school communication or another legitimate school-related purpose, it should normally be provided by the child’s parent, guardian or authorised representative. Where consent is required for processing a child’s personal information, the school will follow the appropriate consent process applicable to that information and purpose.
3. How We May Use Information
Information shared with Pragati Patashala may be used to respond to admission enquiries, provide requested school information, communicate with parents and guardians, arrange school-related interactions, process relevant requests and maintain appropriate administrative records. Information may also be used to maintain the safety and security of the website, understand how visitors use the website and improve the overall website experience where relevant tools are enabled. We will aim to use personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected or for another reasonably related and permitted purpose.
4. Admission Enquiries
When a parent or guardian submits an admission enquiry, the information provided may be used to understand the enquiry and communicate relevant information about admissions, academics, the school’s learning approach or other requested details. Submitting an enquiry through the website does not by itself guarantee admission or create an admission agreement with Pragati Patashala.
5. WhatsApp and Other Communication Platforms
Our website may provide the option to contact Pragati Patashala through WhatsApp or another communication platform. When you choose to use a third-party communication service, your interaction may also be subject to that service provider’s own privacy practices and terms. Pragati Patashala does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party platforms. Parents and guardians should avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive personal information through general messaging services.
6. Student Photographs, Videos and Achievements
From time to time, a school website may feature photographs, videos, student activities, events, creative work or achievements. Where Pragati Patashala publishes identifiable information or media relating to students, appropriate permission should be obtained in accordance with the school’s applicable consent process. Parents or guardians who have questions regarding the use of their child’s photograph, video or other identifiable material may contact the school through the details provided below.
7. Cookies and Website Technology
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, understand general website usage or improve the visitor experience. Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function correctly, while other technologies may depend on the website services or tools currently enabled. Visitors can generally control certain cookie settings through their browser. Disabling some cookies may affect how particular website features work.
8. Sharing of Information
Pragati Patashala will not disclose personal information unnecessarily. Information may be shared with authorised school personnel or service providers where reasonably required to operate the website, respond to an enquiry, provide requested services, maintain technical systems or meet applicable legal requirements. Where third-party service providers support the website or school communication, information should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information handled through the website against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or inappropriate disclosure. However, no website, internet connection or electronic communication system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should therefore also take reasonable care when sharing information online.
10. How Long We Keep Information
Personal information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any applicable administrative, operational or legal requirements. When information is no longer reasonably required, the school may securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it as appropriate.
11. Your Privacy Choices
Parents, guardians or other individuals may contact Pragati Patashala if they wish to ask questions about personal information they have provided through the website. Subject to applicable requirements, you may also contact us regarding correction of inaccurate information, updating contact details, withdrawal of consent where applicable or deletion of information that is no longer required. Requests will be considered according to the nature of the information and the circumstances in which it was collected.
12. External Links
The Pragati Patashala website may contain links to third-party websites or services for convenience or additional information. Once you leave our website, the privacy practices of the external website or service will apply. Pragati Patashala is not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of independent third-party websites. Parents and guardians are encouraged to review the privacy information provided by external services before sharing personal information with them.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Pragati Patashala may update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect changes in website functionality, school practices or applicable requirements. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage parents and guardians to review this page periodically if they would like to stay informed about how information submitted through the website is handled.
