Privacy Policy – SUTRA / Beti Padhao Abhiyaan

Welcome to the SUTRA – Beti Padhao Abhiyaan application and platform. We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy, safety, and personal information of all our users, including students, teachers, school administrators, and CSR stakeholders.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, process, and protect information when users access and interact with the SUTRA application, web portals, and associated educational services.

Depending on the services utilized, registered role, and features accessed, we may collect the following categories of information:

The information collected is strictly utilized to operate the educational platform and fulfill social welfare goals:

• User Authentication: Authenticate, identify, and authorize registered students, educators, and administrators securely.
• Educational Access: Provide structured access to curriculum resources, digital modules, quizzes, and learning materials.
• Program Information: Display relevant CSR announcements, scholarships, workshops, events, and community initiatives.
• Account Management: Manage and maintain up-to-date user and school profile registries.
• Platform Notifications: Deliver critical academic updates, course releases, event reminders, and portal notices.
• Performance & Improvement: Analyze aggregated usage to optimize portal speed, accessibility, and user experience.
• Platform Security: Protect against unauthorized access, fraudulent activities, and maintain system integrity.
• CSR Impact Reporting: Support non-commercial impact assessment and operational objectives of the Beti Padhao Abhiyaan.

The SUTRA application provides access to curated educational resources, learning courses, academic quizzes, event archives, multimedia gallery items, and program materials under the Beti Padhao Abhiyaan initiative.

Access to particular modules, administrative functions, and specialized learning materials may require role-based user authentication and school validation to ensure content integrity and student safety.

Information may be accessed or processed solely by authorized personnel, administrators, vetted service providers, or technology partners under strict confidentiality obligations, and only when required for:

• Operating, hosting, and maintaining the digital application infrastructure.
• Managing official educational, quiz, and CSR-related program activities.
• Providing timely technical support and troubleshooting.
• Ensuring system security, data integrity, and fraud prevention.
• Complying with applicable statutory, legal, or regulatory requirements.

We implement standard technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect user data from unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.

Access to sensitive user and administrative information is strictly limited via Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to authorized staff members whose specific responsibilities require such access.

Please note: While we apply industry-standard security protocols to defend our systems, no digital platform or internet transmission method can guarantee 100% absolute invulnerability.

Users and institutional administrators may review and update supported profile data directly through the portal's profile management interfaces.

Users are responsible for ensuring that all submitted information (such as contact numbers, email addresses, and school grade information) remains accurate, genuine, and up-to-date.

The SUTRA application may send essential service and academic notifications regarding:

• Institutional announcements and program updates
• New educational content, courses, and quiz releases
• Upcoming workshops, ceremonies, and CSR events
• Account security alerts and system maintenance notices

Users can configure certain notification preferences via device application settings or portal controls where available.

Where the personal information of minors is collected or processed, heightened care is taken to protect that data. Such information is used exclusively for educational administration, verified learning, and program impact purposes.

Parents, legal guardians, or authorized school representatives are encouraged to contact our CSR administration if they have any inquiries, corrections, or concerns regarding a student's personal record.

To deliver reliable services, the application may utilize vetted third-party technology providers for application hosting, secure authentication, notification delivery, database backups, and diagnostic performance analytics.

These providers process data strictly on our behalf under legally binding confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using this information for independent purposes.

User information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the educational objectives for which it was collected:

• Delivering uninterrupted access to the platform and educational modules.
• Supporting longitudinal CSR educational impact monitoring and academic records.
• Meeting applicable administrative, statutory, audit, or legal compliance standards.

We may update or revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect enhancements in the application, new educational offerings, or updated legal requirements.

Any revisions will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage users to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect their information.

If you have questions, concerns, feedback, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, your personal data, or the handling of student information, please contact our team:
