Privacy Policy

1 Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you fill out our enrollment or inquiry form, or contact us directly. This may include:

• Full name
• Phone number (used exclusively to contact you about your inquiry)
• Course of interest
• Any message or query you submit

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as Aadhaar numbers, bank details, passwords, or government identification unless specifically required for certification processes, and only with your explicit consent.

We may also automatically collect non-personal technical data when you visit our website, such as your browser type, device type, IP address (anonymised), and pages visited — via tools like Google Analytics (GA4), if enabled.

2 How We Use Your Information

Information you provide through our enrollment form is used solely for the following purposes:

• To contact you (via phone or WhatsApp) regarding your course inquiry within 24 hours
• To register you for a program upon your confirmation
• To send you course-related updates, schedules, and placement support information
• To improve our programs and website based on aggregate, anonymised feedback

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your education or training.

3 Data Storage & Security

Your enrollment data is stored securely in a Google Sheet accessible only to authorised BDDN administrators. We use Google's infrastructure which is protected by industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS).

• Access to your data is restricted to BDDN directors and relevant staff only
• We do not store payment card information on our servers
• Our website is served over HTTPS to protect data in transit

While we implement reasonable security measures, no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to contact us via phone if you need to share sensitive information.

4 Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Google (Google Sheets, Google Analytics) — governed by Google's Privacy Policy
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority under applicable Indian law
• With Your Consent: If you explicitly ask us to share your profile with a hiring company for placement purposes

Placement-related sharing (e.g., sharing your resume with partner companies) is always done with your prior knowledge and approval.

5 Cookies

Our website may use basic cookies to enable core functionality (e.g., session management) and analytics (via Google Analytics, if enabled). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our website.
