Legal Framework

Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data through enterprise-grade security structures and transparent processing protocols.

Last Updated & Effective: June 2024

At EVCSM Skills, we are fundamentally committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring an absolutely secure digital experience across our platforms. This protocol defines exactly how we collect, process, and encrypt your specific structural information.

1. Information We Collect

To provision customized educational environments, render certifications, and establish portal authentication, we compile specific necessary data:

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

  • Full Name, Date of Birth, Gender
  • Contact Number and Registered Email Address
  • Residential Address and Regional Pincode
  • KYC Documents (e.g., Aadhaar Card) exclusively for official regulatory registration and verifiable identity establishment

Academic & Telemetry Data

  • Historical educational qualifications and skill baselines
  • Course enrollment matrices and real-time progress logs
  • Assessment scores, grading structures, and issued certificates
  • IP architecture, device type arrays, and secure portal login timestamps

2. How We Use Your Data

Your personal data is executed exclusively for lawful, legitimate academic operations:

  • To construct, manage, and cryptographically authenticate your student portal
  • To stream specific course data, track sequential academic progress, and execute assessments
  • To verify identity thresholds before generating official structural diplomas
  • To transmit critical administrative alerts (e.g., examination sequences, password resets)
  • To efficiently resolve technical pipeline grievances or support cell inquiries

3. Proctoring & Exam Data Collection

Online Examination Integrity

To preserve the elite validity standard of our certificates, live online assessments integrate automated or human-assisted proctoring frameworks.

Hardware Access Permissions

During an active examination session, our portal will request temporary access to your device's camera and microphone strictly to monitor for academic malpractice.

Screen Telemetry

We actively monitor screen context switching during exams to prevent unauthorized data access or tab navigation.

No Background Persistence

Camera and microphone hardware access is instantly terminated upon exam closure. We deploy zero background tracking scripts outside the examination portal.

4. Data Security & Encryption

Your structural data is housed on highly secure, military-grade encrypted servers physically located within India, adhering strictly to global cybersecurity standards to block unauthorized extraction.

  • AES-256 End-to-end encryption for all sensitive data transmissions
  • Routine penetration testing and infrastructure vulnerability assessments
  • Absolute compliance with the DPDP Act (Digital Personal Data Protection Act)
  • Multi-factor secure access controls and rigid authentication layers

5. Data Retention Policy

We systematically retain your data according to the following lifecycle:

  • Academic Records & Certificates: Permanently stored to guarantee lifetime credential verification by future corporate employers.
  • Basic Profile Data: Retained indefinitely unless an explicit deletion protocol is requested by the user.
  • Proctoring Telemetry (Videos/Images): Securely purged 90-180 days post-result declaration, unless flagged for an active malpractice investigation.
  • Login Timestamps & Metrics: Automatically rotated and purged after 12 months.

6. Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure

We DO NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers, brokers, or external entities.

Data sharing occurs strictly on a zero-trust, need-to-know basis with:

  • Assessment Agencies: Authorized third-party invigilation bodies mandated to evaluate specific standardized exams.
  • Government Hubs (NSDC/Skill India): Triggered only if your enrollment maps to a government-subsidized scheme requiring tracking on national portals.
  • Legal Enforcement: Executed only if legally compelled by a court order or regulation to guarantee public safety.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework, you command explicit rights over your dataset:

Right to Access

Request a complete export of the data matrix we hold regarding your identity within 30 days.

Right to Correction

Initiate rapid updates or corrections to any structurally inaccurate profile elements.

Right to Erasure

Trigger a deletion protocol for your data (bounded by legal/academic retention mandates). Note: Deletion destroys access to past verifiable certificates.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Revoke your processing consent at any node by directly contacting our privacy cell.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We deploy optimized session cookies and similar web technologies to:

  • Preserve your UI preferences and secure login state
  • Analyze portal performance metrics and latency bottlenecks
  • Personalize and adapt your structural learning journey

You maintain the ability to disable tracking cookies via your browser's security panel, though this may degrade portal functionality.
