Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

To provide a smooth learning experience, we collect information that you directly provide to us, as well as automatic technical data:

Personal Profile Information: Name, email address, phone number, billing address, and professional/educational background (collected when you enroll in a course, fill out a contact form, or create an account).

Payment Information: For paid workshops or courses, processing is handled via secure, external third-party payment gateways. Geekashram does not store your credit card numbers, debit card details, or internet banking passwords on our servers.

Academic & Community Data: Project submissions, assignment code, forum posts, and internal portal chat interactions.

Technical Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and data regarding how you navigate our learning modules (collected via standard browser cookies).

How We Use Your Information

We process your personal information based on legitimate educational and business operational requirements:

• To create your student account and manage course enrollments.
• To deliver live streaming links, workshop updates, and course completion certificates.
• To provide mentor support, evaluate assignments, and track your learning progress.
• To manage billing, issue transaction receipts, and verify student profiles.
• To secure our platform against unauthorized course material distribution or cheating.
• To send newsletter tips or upcoming course announcements (which you can opt out of at any time).

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent student databases to third-party marketing companies. Your data is strictly shared with trusted service providers required to deliver our programs:

Hosting & Infrastructure Providers: Cloud databases and servers running our learning management systems (LMS).

Payment Gateways: Secure payment service providers that handle your online fees.

Communication Tools: Automated email systems or SMS alerts used to send class schedule updates.

Legal Enforcement: If requested by regulatory or legal authorities under Indian compliance laws, we may disclose account information to protect site security or address fraudulent practices.

Data Retention

We retain your student records and course history as long as your account remains active or as required by financial auditing laws to provide accurate receipts and verified credentials to alumni.

Cookies and Analytics

Geekashram uses standard cookies and tracking web beacons to optimize loading speeds and compile aggregate data regarding overall site traffic. You have the choice to reject cookies through your personal browser settings, though it may occasionally limit your persistent login settings on our study portal.

Security of Your Data

The security of your profile data is crucial to us. We implement appropriate technical, physical, and administrative security configurations (including SSL data encryption) to prevent unauthorized entry, loss, or data leaks.

Your Privacy Rights

You maintain full control over your personal data. You have the right to:

• Access or download the personal profile records we hold about you.
• Request immediate rectification of any inaccurate personal details.
• Request the absolute deletion of your student account data once your active course terms conclude (excluding financial transaction archives required for accounting).
• Opt out of marketing notifications by selecting the "Unsubscribe" button in our emails.
