Privacy Policy

Srikishan Sarda College, Hailakandi ("we", "us", or "the College") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that information.

1. Information we collect

We collect two categories of information:

Personal information you provide: name, email address, postal address, phone number, academic details, application or admission information, employment-related details, photographs (when uploaded), and any other information you choose to provide via forms, email, or other communications.

Technical and usage data: IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring/exit pages, timestamps, cookies and similar technologies, and aggregated analytics data.

2. How we use your information

We use collected information for purposes including, but not limited to:

Responding to enquiries and communicating about College services, programmes, events and applications.

Managing admissions, student records, examinations, certificates and administrative operations.

Publishing authorised information, news and updates on our website.

Improving the website, troubleshooting, analytics and security (including preventing misuse or fraud).

Complying with legal, regulatory or contractual obligations.

3. Legal basis and retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or to meet legal and regulatory obligations. Retention periods vary by record type — academic and administrative records may be retained for several years as required by applicable laws and institutional policies.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide functionality, remember preferences, and gather analytics. Most browsers allow you to control cookies via settings; disabling cookies may reduce site functionality.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We will not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with:

College departments and authorised staff for legitimate academic or administrative purposes.

Third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, email delivery), under contract and with appropriate safeguards.

Government, regulatory or law enforcement authorities when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, or property.

Successors in the event of a merger, asset sale or reorganisation, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

6. Data security

We implement reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure; absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

7. Third-party links and services

Our website may link to or embed content from third-party websites and services (for example, payment gateways, social media, or external academic resources). Those services have their own privacy policies and practices; this Policy does not apply to them. Please review third-party policies before sharing personal information.

8. Your rights

Where applicable, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal or institutional retention requirements).

Object to or restrict certain processing activities.

Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (withdrawal will not affect processing that occurred prior to withdrawal).

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may require verification of identity before responding to requests.

9. Children's information

The website is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent. If you believe we have collected information from a child without proper consent, contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

10. International transfers

If we transfer personal data to other countries (for example to cloud providers or analytics services), we will ensure appropriate protections are in place in accordance with applicable law.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy with the updated effective date on this page. Continued use of the website after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
