Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect the personal information of our students, parents and website visitors. Last updated: August 2026.

Introduction

Sacred Heart School, Kalyan ("the School", "we", "us") respects the privacy of every visitor to our website, and of every student and parent who interacts with us through our admission process, applicant portal or school office. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used and protected.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Student details submitted during admission — name, date of birth, gender, nationality, previous school records and academic history.
  • Parent/guardian details — name, occupation, contact number, email address and residential address.
  • Communication you send us through the contact form, email or phone.
  • Account information for the applicant and admin portals, including login credentials.
  • Payment-related information processed during fee or admission payments, handled through our payment gateway partner — the School does not store your full card or bank details.

How We Use This Information

Information collected is used to process admission applications, communicate with parents about the admission process and school activities, maintain student academic records, issue receipts and fee-related communication, and to improve our website and services. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Data Sharing

We share information only where necessary — with payment gateway providers to process transactions, with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and other regulatory bodies where mandated, and with service providers such as Google Workspace that support our day-to-day school operations under their own data protection terms.

Children's Privacy

Much of the information we hold relates to students who are minors. This information is submitted by a parent or guardian during the admission process and is used solely for legitimate educational and administrative purposes. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through this website.

Cookies

Our website may use basic cookies to keep you signed in to the applicant or admin portal and to remember your preferences. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold against unauthorised access, alteration or loss. Access to student and parent records is limited to authorised school staff.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you or your child by contacting the school office using the details below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
