This Privacy Policy describes how Government College of Education, IASE, Chhatrapati SambhajiNagar (“the Institute”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use this official website. It should be read together with our Website policies.

Effective date: This version applies from the date it is published on this page.

1. Scope

This policy applies to information collected through this website (pages served from our web hosting). It does not govern standalone systems (for example, university portals or government services) that you may reach via links from this site; those services have their own privacy notices.

2. Information we may collect

Information you provide voluntarily — When you use the Contact us details, the Feedback form, or email us, you may provide your name, email address, telephone number, and the content of your message.

Technical and usage information — Web servers and security tools may automatically log data such as IP address, approximate location, browser type, device type, referring URL, date and time of access, and pages viewed. This helps operate the site, prevent abuse, and understand aggregate usage.

3. How we use your information

We use the information described above to:

Respond to enquiries, feedback, and legitimate requests related to the Institute or this website;
Operate, maintain, and secure the website;
Comply with legal obligations and cooperate with competent authorities where required;
Improve content and accessibility, including through aggregated statistics where used.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

This site may use cookies or local storage where needed for basic functionality (for example, session or preference features provided by the template or hosting). Third-party scripts (such as embedded maps or translation widgets, if enabled) may set their own cookies governed by those providers’ policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit certain features.

5. Sharing of information

We may share information with:

Hosting, email, or IT service providers who process data on our behalf under appropriate instructions;
Affiliating university or government bodies where required for official correspondence you initiate;
Law enforcement or regulators when disclosure is required by applicable law.

We do not share your information for unrelated third-party marketing.

6. Data retention

We retain messages and related correspondence only as long as needed to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, to meet legal or administrative requirements, or to resolve disputes. Server logs are retained according to hosting configuration and security practice.

7. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; you share information at your own risk beyond what we can reasonably control.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law (including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and rules thereunder, as and where they apply to the Institute’s processing), you may have rights to access, correction, erasure, or grievance redressal in relation to your personal data. To exercise these rights or to ask questions, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience including prospective students and parents. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for commercial profiling. If you believe a child has submitted personal data inappropriately through this site, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with an updated effective date where we make material changes.
