Privacy Policy

Hello Parents, Students, and Visitors!

Here at Dronacharya Heritage School, we know trust is everything – especially when you share personal details about your family with us. Think of this policy as an open conversation; we treat that trust like sacred ground. This page walks you through exactly how we carefully handle and protect everyone’s information – because your family’s privacy matters as much as your child’s education.

“We guard your family’s information as fiercely as we guard our students’ futures.”

1. What Information We Collect

Student & Parent Data: Names, contact details (phone, email, address), birth dates, academic records, medical information, photographs, attendance, and fee payment details.

Staff Data: Professional qualifications, background checks, contact information, and employment records.

Website Visitors: IP address, browser type, pages visited (via cookies) – but only to improve our site.

Voluntary Info: Feedback, enquiry forms, or survey responses you share with us.

2. Why We Need This Information

To manage admissions, academics, and student well-being.

To ensure campus safety and communicate important updates.

To process fees, comply with legal requirements (like RTE), and maintain health records.

To share school activities via newsletters or our website (with consent).

3. How We Protect Your Data

We store information securely – electronically with password protection/encryption, and physical records in locked access-controlled areas.

Only authorized staff (teachers, admin, management) access data strictly for school-related purposes.

We regularly review our security practices to prevent misuse.

4. When We Share Information

Internally: Among staff for academic/administrative needs.

Third Parties: Only with trusted partners who need it (e.g., transport services, medical teams, exam boards) under strict confidentiality agreements.

Legally Required: If mandated by law, courts, or government authorities.

Never for Marketing: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers.

Withdraw Consent: If you’ve consented to specific uses (e.g., WhatsApp groups), you can withdraw by emailing us.

6. Data Retention

We retain records as long as necessary for educational/legal purposes (typically until a student turns 25+ or as per Haryana education guidelines). Unnecessary data is securely destroyed.
