Privacy Policy — Ananda Chandra College

01 Overview

Thank you for taking the time to read our privacy statement. If you are only browsing this website, we do not capture data that allows us to identify you individually. Information you actively submit — for example, through an admission form or fee payment — is handled as described below.

02 Information we collect

Application details — name, date of birth, contact number, email address, address, academic records and category/quota information submitted during admission.
Payment-related details — transaction reference numbers and payment status, shared with us by the payment gateway/bank when you pay fees online.
Technical data — basic browser and device information collected automatically for security and troubleshooting purposes.

03 How we use it

We use the information you provide to process admissions, verify eligibility, communicate about your application or enrolment, collect fees, maintain academic records, and comply with University/UGC/regulatory requirements.

04 Sharing & disclosure

We do not sell, distribute or rent your personal information to other parties for marketing purposes under any circumstances. We understand that you and your information are among our most important assets.

As a matter of policy, information collected through this website is disclosed only where necessary — for instance, to the bank or credit/debit card company for the purpose of approving and processing your payment, or to University/government authorities where required by law or regulation.

05 Payment information

All online payments are processed through secure, third-party payment gateways. We do not store your full card, UPI or net-banking credentials on our servers; these are handled directly by the payment gateway and the relevant bank under their own security standards.

06 Cookies & browsing data

The website may use basic cookies or session identifiers to keep your application session active while you fill out a form, and to help the site function correctly. These do not identify you individually if you are simply browsing without submitting a form.

07 Data security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information you share with us from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we encourage you to keep your login details confidential.

08 Your choices

You may contact the College to request corrections to inaccurate information submitted during application, subject to applicable admission and examination regulations. Certain records, once submitted for admission or examination purposes, cannot be altered after processing.

09 Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated date.
