Privacy Policy

We may collect the following categories of information when you use this website:

Registration information: name, date of birth, gender, contact number, email address, postal address, category, registration type, qualification details and any identifiers you choose to submit (for example, [PLACEHOLDER — specify if Aadhaar or another ID is collected]).

Documents: photograph, signature, identity proof, qualification certificates, mark sheets and any additional certificates you upload during registration. These are stored securely and are not made publicly accessible.

Payment information: if a registration fee applies, payments are processed by our third-party payment gateway (Razorpay). We do not store your card, UPI or bank credentials on our servers — only the payment status, order reference and amount are recorded.

Contact form and enquiries: name, mobile number, email address, subject and message when you contact us through the website.

Usage data: if analytics is enabled (Google Analytics), we may collect anonymised usage data such as pages visited, device type and general location, to help us improve the website.

Information collected is used to process candidate registrations and applications, verify submitted documents, communicate updates about application status, respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form, process registration fee payments where applicable, and maintain records required for administrative and audit purposes. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Uploaded identity and qualification documents are stored in a private, access-controlled location on our servers and are not served as public web pages. Access to candidate documents is restricted to authorised council administrators who require it to process your application, and each access is logged.

We use the following third-party service providers, each governed by their own privacy policy: Razorpay (payment processing), an email/SMS service provider for transactional notifications [PLACEHOLDER — name the confirmed provider], and Google Analytics for anonymised website usage statistics (only if enabled by the administrator).

This website uses a minimal set of cookies necessary for administrator authentication and, where enabled, analytics cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect certain features such as the admin dashboard.

Registration and application records are retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory or administrative requirements. [PLACEHOLDER — specify the exact retention period once confirmed by the council.]

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted, subject to our legal and administrative obligations to retain certain records. To make such a request, contact us using the details below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
