This Privacy Policy outlines how the playschool and daycare website collects, uses, and protects personal information, especially for children, in compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). It applies to all users accessing the site or fee payment portal, with heightened protections for child data.​

Information Collected

The site collects minimal personal data including parent/guardian names, email addresses, phone numbers, child details (name, age, contact info), and payment details for fee transactions. No unnecessary data tracking occurs; information gathers only for enrollment, payments, and communications. Children's data requires verifiable parental consent before processing.​

Children's Privacy Protections

For users under 18, no personal data processes without explicit, documented parental consent via email, form, or call verification, as mandated by DPDP Act child data rules. Prohibited practices include behavioral advertising, tracking cookies for kids, or sharing child data with third parties. Data collection limits to essential enrollment and safety needs only.​

Use of Information

Collected data supports service delivery like fee payments (non-refundable once processed), appointment scheduling, updates, and legal compliance. No data sells or rents to third parties; sharing occurs only with service providers (e.g., payment gateways) under strict agreements. Website analytics use anonymized, aggregate data without identifying individuals.​

Data Security and Storage

Data employs industry-standard encryption (SSL for payments) and secure servers hosted in India. Access restricts to authorized staff only, with regular security audits. Retention follows necessity: enrollment records for 5 years, payment data per banking laws.ksandk​

User Rights and Choices

Parents/guardians can access, correct, delete, or restrict their/child's data by emailing the playschool. Fee payment data remains non-refundable but accessible for records. Opt-out from marketing communications available anytime.assurtiv​

Cookies and Third Parties

Essential cookies enable site functions like payments; no non-essential tracking cookies used, especially for children. Third-party tools (payment gateways like PhonePe) follow their privacy terms but receive minimal data.​
