Information we collect

When you submit a Gurukul College enquiry through a Facebook or Instagram Instant Form, we collect your full name, phone number, SSLC (Class 10) passing year, relationship to the learner, current Plus Two status and intended joining timeframe.

If you contact us directly by phone, WhatsApp or email, we also receive the information you choose to share during that enquiry.

Enquiries on behalf of another person

If you submit an enquiry on behalf of another person, please do so only with the learner's permission. If the learner is under 18, the enquiry should be made with the consent of their parent or guardian.

Information shared about a learner is used only for that learner's course counselling and admission support.

How we use your information

We use enquiry information to respond to your questions, provide course and admission counselling, and follow up about the course you asked about through phone calls, WhatsApp or email.

This enquiry notice does not constitute consent to unrelated marketing by Gurukul Edvance Academy.

Admission processing

If the learner enrols, the admission information required for registration may be submitted to NIOS through its official procedures.

Storage and service providers

Enquiry details submitted through our Facebook and Instagram Instant Forms are automatically transferred through Pabbly and stored in Google Sheets.

Meta, Pabbly and Google process information as part of providing these services. We also use WhatsApp and email to respond to enquiries. These providers have their own privacy policies.

How long we keep information

For enquiries that do not result in admission, we retain personal information for 12 months from the date of the enquiry, after which we delete it or anonymise it.

For students who take admission, we retain admission records during the course and for 12 months after course completion, after which we delete them or anonymise them, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
