Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Awasthi Education Institute India collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website, awasthicollegeofeducation.in. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is handled.

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies. This includes:
- IP address and browser type
- Operating system and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referral URLs and clickstream data
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms — and even then, such data is not stored in a database.
How We Use Information
The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:
- To analyze website traffic and improve user experience
- To understand which content is most valuable to our visitors
- To ensure the website functions properly and securely
- To comply with legal obligations and detect potential security threats
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period).
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features, but you can still access all core content.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to help us understand and improve our website. These include:
- Google Analytics — to track website traffic and user behavior anonymously
- Cloudflare — for website security and performance optimization
- Potential advertising networks — which may serve ads based on general browsing patterns, but not personal identifiers
These third parties have their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own data practices. We do not share personal data with them, and they are prohibited from collecting personally identifiable information on our site.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to secure data transmission. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under Indian privacy norms and global best practices, you have the right to:
- Access the information collected about your visit (subject to technical limitations)
- Request deletion of your browsing data from our analytics logs (contact us to initiate)
- Opt out of non-essential cookies via your browser settings
- Be informed about how your data is used
While India does not yet have a comprehensive federal data protection law, we uphold principles of transparency and user control in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and international standards.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
