Privacy Policy
Last updated: [date of publication]
This policy explains what personal data Unipravas collects, why, who can see it, and your choices. In short: we use your data to help you plan your studies, you decide which experts see it, and we never sell your data or pass your number to agents.
1. What we collect
| Data | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Name, email, mobile number, password (stored encrypted), profile photo, how you signed up (email, Google or LinkedIn) | To create and secure your account |
| Study profile | Nationality, education and marks, backlogs, English test, work experience, study or work gaps and your explanation, how you will fund your studies, savings and loan status, countries, courses and intake | To calculate your readiness score, matches, budget check and roadmap |
| Documents | Files you upload (for example passport, transcripts, bank statements) and files experts send you | To store them for you and share them with experts you choose |
| Work with experts | Which parts of your profile you share, requests, messages, files, course suggestions, tables, progress updates, recorded offers, reviews | To let you and your expert work together |
| Community | Posts, comments, likes, follows and reports | To run the community feed |
| Usage | Sign-in times and activity records, notifications | Security, support and improving the service |
2. Who can see your data
- Experts you choose: only after you share your profile, and only the parts you select. Sharing ends when you withdraw or the work is completed.
- Our team: authorised Unipravas staff can see accounts to verify experts, give support, keep the platform safe and check data quality.
- Community feed: posts and comments can be read by anyone visiting the site. Signed-in members see your name and photo; visitors who are not signed in see students by first name and last initial only, without photo. The feed is not shown in search engines. Congratulations posts use your first name only.
- Service providers who run the service for us, such as hosting, email delivery and [analytics, only with your consent]. They may use your data only to provide that service.
- Authorities, only when the law requires it.
We do not sell personal data, rent it, or share it with universities, agents, banks or lenders without your clear permission.
3. How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal data within [30] days, except what the law requires us to keep. [Retention periods to be confirmed by legal counsel.]
4. Your rights
You can see and correct your profile at any time. You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct or delete it, or to withdraw consent, by writing to [support email]. These rights follow India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and the laws of your country where they apply. [Grievance officer name and contact to be added.]
5. Cookies and browser storage
We store a few small items in your browser so the site works: your sign-in, your chosen currency and some saved lists. [If analytics is added, it runs only after you accept it, and you can change your choice at any time.]
6. Security
Passwords are stored encrypted, connections use HTTPS, and access to personal data is limited to people who need it. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
7. Children
If you are under 18, please use Unipravas with a parent or guardian's consent.
8. Changes and contact
We will tell you about important changes on the site or by email. Questions or complaints: [support email].
