Privacy Policy

Vidyapun (vidyapun.com) helps students and parents find schools, colleges and universities in India, compare them, send enquiries and apply. Vidyapun is operated by Stuvalley Technology Pvt. Ltd., M-13, Ground Floor, Old DLF Colony, Sector 14, Gurugram, Haryana 122001. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “Vidyapun” mean that company.

What we collect depends on how you use Vidyapun.

• Account details: your name, email address, mobile number, state and city, and whether you are a school, college or university student or a parent. Your password is stored in encrypted form and cannot be read by us. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google, never your Google password.
• Enquiries: your name, email, mobile number, the course or class you are interested in, your city, an optional preferred area and message, the institution you enquired about, and the page you sent it from.
• Application form: if you fill it in, the applicant’s details such as blood group, mother tongue, religion, category and any special needs, the parents’ names, contact details, qualification, occupation and income, the home address, and copies of documents you upload, such as a photograph, birth certificate, Aadhaar copies and address proof. Parents add this for their child.
• Your activity: institutions you shortlist or apply to, and the status of each application.
• Contact messages: what you write to us through the contact form or by email.
• Technical data: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, and cookies (see below).

Only the account details are needed to use the site. The application form is optional, and you decide how much of it to fill in.

• To create and run your account and keep you signed in.
• To pass your enquiry or application to the institution you chose, and to show you its status.
• To call, email or message you about your enquiry or application, and to help you shortlist institutions.
• To send service emails such as verification codes, password reset codes and application status updates.
• To send updates and offers about admissions. You can unsubscribe from these at any time using the link in the email.
• To keep the platform safe, prevent spam and misuse, and fix problems.
• To understand how the site is used and improve it.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these cases:

• Institutions you contact. When you send an enquiry or apply, we pass your details to that school, college or university, and your application form if you apply. The institution then handles your data under its own policies, and Vidyapun is not responsible for how it does so.
• Service providers who help us run the platform, such as cloud hosting and file storage, email delivery and analytics. They may process data only to provide their service to us.
• Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect the rights and safety of our users or of Vidyapun.

Our team members can see your information only as far as their role needs it, for example to follow up on an enquiry.

Vidyapun is meant for students and for parents or guardians. A child’s details for an admission are added by a parent or guardian through their own account. If you are a parent, please add only your own child’s information. If you believe a child has given us information without a parent’s consent, write to us and we will remove it.

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them, and similar browser storage, to keep you signed in, remember small choices such as a closed pop-up, and make pages load correctly.

We also use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to count visits and see which pages are useful. These tools may set their own cookies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Parts of the site, such as signing in, may not work without them.

Vidyapun is served over HTTPS, passwords are stored in encrypted form, uploaded documents are kept in cloud storage and are shown only to you, our team and the institutions you apply to, and access to our admin system needs a login with permissions based on the person’s role. No online service is completely secure, so please use a strong password and do not share your codes with anyone.

We keep your information while your account is active and for as long as we need it to run the service, meet legal obligations and settle disputes. You can ask us to delete your account and data at any time (see the next section).

• See and correct your details in Profile, and your application form in Application Form, after signing in.
• Change your password in Settings, or reset it with the Forgot password link.
• Withdraw an application that has not been reviewed from the Application Status page.
• Unsubscribe from promotional emails with the link in any of them.
• Ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct or delete it, by writing to the address below. We may need to confirm that the request really comes from you.

If we have already passed your details to an institution, you will need to ask that institution as well.

Vidyapun links to the websites of institutions and other services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please read their policies before sharing information.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If a change is significant, we will tell you on the site or by email.

For any question, complaint or request about your privacy, write to info@vidyapun.com or call 0124-4252196. You can also use the contact page, or write to Stuvalley Technology Pvt. Ltd., M-13, Ground Floor, Old DLF Colony, Sector 14, Gurugram, Haryana 122001.
