1. Who We Are
This website is operated for:
SKT Public School (SKTPS)
Deshai Nagar, Rasulabad – Unnao (209870), Uttar Pradesh, India
Website: sktps.com
Email: info@sktps.com
Phone: +91 9793183487
For questions relating to privacy or personal information, you may contact the school using the details above.
2. Information We May Collect
The information collected depends on how you use our website and school services.
A. Parent and Guardian Information
When a parent or guardian contacts the school, applies for admission, creates an account or communicates with SKTPS, we may collect information such as name, mobile number, email address, relationship with the student, address and other information voluntarily provided to us.
B. Student Information
For admission, academic administration, student login, fee management and school-management purposes, we may process information such as the student’s name, admission or roll number, class, section, academic year, date of birth, parent or guardian details, contact information, previous-school information and other records reasonably required for school administration.
Where necessary for legitimate school operations, additional information may also be collected through admission documents or school records.
C. Admission Information and Documents
When applying for admission, we may request documents such as a birth certificate, Aadhaar or other identification details, previous-school report card, transfer certificate, photographs, address proof and other documents applicable to the student’s admission.
Only documents actually requested by the school should be submitted.
Parents and guardians should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through general contact forms.
3. Student and Teacher Accounts
SKTPS may provide separate accounts or dashboards for students, teachers, administrators or other authorised users.
Account information may include username, name, email address, role, login details and information required to connect an account with the school’s internal student or teacher records.
For example, a student’s website account may be linked with the student’s admission or roll number so that the correct academic or fee information is shown to that student.
Users are responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential and should immediately inform SKTPS if they believe their account has been accessed without authorisation.
4. Fee and Payment Information
Our website may provide a school fee-management facility.
Information processed through this facility may include the student’s name, admission or roll number, class, section, academic year, fee period, fee type, total amount, amount paid, outstanding amount, discounts, late fees, payment date, payment method, transaction or cheque reference, remarks and receipt number.
Students or authorised users may also be able to view or download fee receipts through their account.
We use this information for school accounting, fee administration, receipt generation, reconciliation, record keeping and responding to fee-related enquiries.
If an external online payment gateway is introduced, payment-card, UPI, banking or similar transaction information may be processed directly by the relevant payment provider according to its own privacy and security practices. SKTPS should not intentionally store full card credentials unless specifically required and securely supported.
5. Contact and Admission Enquiry Forms
When you submit a contact or admission enquiry form, we may collect information such as:
- Parent or guardian name
- Mobile number
- Email address
- Student name
- Class for which admission is requested
- Type of enquiry
- Message or question submitted by you
This information is used to contact you, answer your enquiry, provide admission assistance and maintain appropriate records of communications.
Submitting an enquiry does not automatically confirm admission.
6. Information Relating to Children
Because SKTPS is a school, some of the information processed through our systems relates to children.
We aim to collect only information reasonably required for education, school administration, admission, student services, safety, communication, fee management or other legitimate school purposes.
Where appropriate, information relating to a child should be provided or authorised by the child’s parent or lawful guardian.
We do not intend to use student admission records, academic records or student-account information for behavioural advertising or targeted commercial advertising.
Indian data-protection law defines a child as an individual who has not completed eighteen years of age and includes specific safeguards for processing children’s personal data as the relevant provisions become applicable.
7. Student Photographs, Videos and School Activities
SKTPS may publish photographs or videos relating to school functions, celebrations, competitions, educational activities, achievements, cultural programmes or other school events.
Where required or appropriate, the school may seek permission from the parent, guardian or authorised individual before using identifiable student photographs or videos for public-facing promotional purposes.
Parents or guardians who have concerns about the public use of a student’s photograph or video may contact the school.
Where reasonably possible, SKTPS will review such requests while also considering legitimate educational, archival and administrative requirements.
8. Comments
If comments are enabled on any part of the website, information entered into the comment form may be collected together with technical information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information for security and spam-prevention purposes.
An anonymised value generated from an email address may be transmitted to services such as Gravatar where that functionality is enabled.
After a comment is approved, information connected with the comment, including a profile picture where applicable, may become publicly visible.
SKTPS may moderate, reject or remove comments that contain spam, abuse, inappropriate material or personal information that should not be publicly displayed.
9. Media Uploads
If users are permitted to upload photographs or other media to the website, they should avoid uploading images containing unnecessary embedded location information such as EXIF GPS data.
In some circumstances, technical metadata contained inside a publicly accessible image may be readable or downloadable by other users.
Students and parents should therefore upload only information that is appropriate for the intended school purpose.
10. Cookies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website function correctly, maintain user sessions, remember preferences, improve security and understand website usage.
Essential cookies may be required for login, security, session management, cookie preferences and core website functionality.
Preference cookies may remember choices such as cookie settings or certain interface preferences.
Analytics cookies, where enabled, may help us understand general website usage and improve the website.
Third-party cookies may be created when content such as videos, maps or other externally hosted services is embedded on the website.
Our website currently uses cookie-management functionality to allow visitors to manage relevant cookie preferences where configured.
Some WordPress functionality may also use temporary session or login cookies. Exact cookie names and retention periods may change as the website, plugins and services are updated.
You can also restrict or delete cookies through your browser, although disabling essential cookies may prevent login or other parts of the website from functioning correctly.
11. Login Cookies
When you access a login page, the website may create technical cookies to determine whether your browser accepts cookies and to maintain the security of the login process.
When logged in, additional cookies may be used to remember your authenticated session and display preferences.
Logging out normally removes or invalidates the applicable authentication session.
If a “Remember Me” feature is selected, the session may remain active for a longer period according to the website’s configuration.
For security, users should log out when using a shared or public device.
12. Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages on the SKTPS website may contain embedded content such as videos, maps, images or other external resources.
Embedded content may behave as though you visited the external provider’s website directly.
Depending on the service and your browser settings, the external provider may collect technical information, use cookies or receive information about your interaction with its embedded content.
Such third-party providers operate according to their own privacy practices.
13. Technical and Security Information
When the website is accessed, our website infrastructure, hosting provider or security tools may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, requested URL, date and time of access, login attempts and security-related events.
This information may be used to operate the website, diagnose errors, prevent fraud, detect unauthorised access, reduce spam and protect student, teacher and school systems.
14. How We Use Personal Information
SKTPS may use information collected through the website to:
process admission enquiries and applications; provide educational and student-management services; create or manage student and teacher accounts; maintain class and admission records; manage school fees and generate receipts; provide student-specific fee information; communicate with parents, students and staff; provide requested information; manage school activities and events; operate and secure the website; prevent misuse and unauthorised access; comply with applicable legal and administrative requirements; maintain necessary school records; and improve our website and digital services.
We aim to use personal information only for appropriate and legitimate school-related purposes.
15. Legal Basis and Consent
Where consent is appropriate or legally required, SKTPS may ask the relevant individual, parent or lawful guardian to provide consent before specified information is processed.
Consent should relate to a clear purpose and should not authorise unrelated uses of personal information.
Where processing is necessary for legitimate school administration, legal obligations or other purposes permitted under applicable law, information may be processed on an appropriate lawful basis.
The DPDP framework provides for consent to be free, specific, informed and unambiguous and requires notices to clearly describe the personal data and purpose of processing as the relevant provisions become applicable.
16. Who We May Share Information With
SKTPS does not intend to sell students’ or parents’ personal information to advertisers.
Information may, however, be made available where reasonably necessary to authorised school administrators, teachers or staff; technology and hosting providers; website and school-management service providers; email-delivery providers; security and spam-prevention providers; payment processors where online payment is offered; professional advisers or service providers acting for the school; and government, regulatory, judicial or law-enforcement authorities where disclosure is legally required or appropriately authorised.
Access should be limited to information reasonably required for the relevant purpose.
17. Website and Third-Party Service Providers
Our website may rely on WordPress and other software, plugins and online services for features such as page design, forms, student management, course management, fee management, email delivery, security, optimisation, cookie consent and website administration.
Some service providers may process technical or personal information on behalf of the school.
We aim to use service providers only for legitimate operational requirements and to limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for their function.
18. Password Reset
If a user requests a password reset, technical information such as the originating IP address may be included in security logs or related communications.
Password-reset links should be treated as confidential and should not be forwarded to other persons.
19. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required for educational, accounting, administrative, safety, dispute-resolution or legal requirements.
Student admission, academic and fee records may need to be retained for longer periods than ordinary website enquiries.
Contact enquiries that are no longer required may be deleted periodically.
Account information may be retained while the account or related school relationship remains active and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary.
Comments and associated metadata, where comments are enabled, may remain stored to maintain the discussion and moderation history unless deletion is appropriate.
Backups may contain information for a limited additional period even after data has been removed from the active website.
20. Security of Personal Information
SKTPS takes reasonable steps intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure.
Measures may include account authentication, restricted administrative access, software updates, website security controls, secure hosting practices, backups and access controls.
However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should therefore avoid submitting unnecessary confidential information through ordinary website forms.
The DPDP Act provides for reasonable security safeguards and breach-related obligations under the relevant applicable provisions.
21. Data Breach
If SKTPS becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we may investigate the incident, take reasonable steps to contain it, protect affected systems and comply with notification or other obligations applicable at that time.
Where appropriate, affected individuals may be informed about significant risks and recommended protective steps.
22. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, a student acting through an authorised parent or guardian, parent, employee or other user may request information concerning personal data held about them.
Requests may include correction of inaccurate information, completion or updating of information, deletion where appropriate, withdrawal of consent where processing depends on consent, or assistance with a privacy-related grievance.
Some information cannot immediately be deleted where the school must retain it for legitimate educational, accounting, administrative, dispute-resolution or legal purposes.
The DPDP Act provides rights including access to information about processing, correction, updating, erasure and grievance redressal as the applicable provisions take effect.
23. Correction of Student Information
Parents or guardians should promptly inform SKTPS if important student information is incorrect or has changed.
Depending on the type of information, the school may require appropriate verification before changing official student records.
Changes to a WordPress display name or website profile do not necessarily change official admission, academic or fee records maintained by the school’s management system.
24. Deletion Requests
You may contact SKTPS to request deletion of personal information that is no longer necessary.
Before processing certain requests, we may need to verify the identity or authority of the requester.
A parent or guardian requesting access to or deletion of a child’s information may also be asked to establish their relationship with the student.
Deletion requests may be declined or limited where retention remains necessary for applicable law, school records, financial accounting, security, dispute resolution or other legitimate requirements.
25. Links to Other Websites
The SKTPS website may contain links to external websites.
Once you leave our website, SKTPS does not control the external site’s privacy practices, cookies, security or content.
Users should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information to it.
26. No Sale of Student Data
SKTPS does not intend to operate a business model based on selling student, parent or teacher personal information.
School-management information is collected to provide educational, administrative, communication and related school services.
27. Advertising and Children
Student records and authenticated student-account information are not intended to be used for personalised advertising.
SKTPS does not intend to conduct behavioural profiling of students for commercial advertising.
Where external services or embedded content are used, parents may manage applicable third-party cookies through the website’s available consent controls and their browser settings.
28. Email Communications
When you submit a contact or admission enquiry, the information may be delivered to an authorised SKTPS email account.
We may use the provided email address or telephone number to respond to your enquiry or communicate about admission or school-related matters.
Contact details submitted for an admission enquiry should not automatically be treated as consent for unrelated promotional marketing.
29. Changes to This Privacy Policy
SKTPS may update this Privacy Policy when our website, school-management services, legal requirements or privacy practices change.
When significant changes are made, the Last Updated date at the top of this page should be revised.
We encourage parents, guardians, students and other users to review this page periodically.
