1. Introduction
Your College Guide ("we", "us", "our") operates the website yourcollegeguide.co.in. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. We process personal data in accordance with applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Enquiry forms: name, mobile number, academic scores (e.g., 12th PCM percentage, KCET/COMEDK/JEE rank), preferred course or branch, and any message you include.
- Direct contact: information you share when you call, email, or message us on WhatsApp.
Information collected automatically
- Usage and analytics data: pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and interaction events (such as form submissions and button clicks), collected via Google Tag Manager and similar analytics tools using cookies and comparable technologies.
- Advertising data: if you arrive via an advertisement, we may receive campaign-level information (such as which ad you clicked) from platforms like Google Ads and Meta.
3. How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiry and provide admission counselling services you request
- To contact you by phone, WhatsApp, or email about your enquiry
- To improve our website, services, and advertising effectiveness
- To comply with legal obligations
We contact you only in connection with admission guidance. We do not send unrelated marketing without your consent.
4. Sharing of information
We never sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers that operate parts of our website and communication — for example, our form-processing provider (Web3Forms), website hosting (Netlify), and analytics/advertising platforms (Google, Meta) — strictly to deliver those services;
- Colleges or institutions, only when you ask us to proceed with an application on your behalf and only the information required for that application;
- Authorities, where required by law.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising measurement. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; the website remains usable without them.
6. Data retention
We retain enquiry information for as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal requirements, after which it is deleted or anonymised. You may request deletion at any time (see below).
7. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or withdraw consent to further contact, by messaging us at +91 97311 88999 or on WhatsApp. We respond to such requests within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable law.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we limit access to your data to those who need it to serve you.
9. Children
Our services are intended for parents, guardians, and students. Where the student is a minor, we expect enquiries to be made by, or with the consent of, a parent or guardian.
10. Changes to this policy
