🔒 Privacy Policy – Colnex.in

Last Updated: November 9, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Colnex.in (“Website,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”) collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you access or use our services.
We are committed to maintaining transparency and ensuring that your data remains secure and used only for its intended purpose.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We follow a minimal data collection policy — we collect only what is necessary to operate the platform effectively.
We do not use cookies or third-party trackers for behavioral advertising.

A. From Student Users

  • Mobile Number: Collected only for login and verification via OTP authentication.

  • Location Data: Used temporarily for search filters (e.g., nearby colleges by area or kilometers).
    This information is non-personally identifiable and never stored permanently.

  • ❌ We do not collect your name, email, or password.

B. From College Users

  • Official Email Address: Used to create and manage college accounts and for official communication regarding subscriptions or support.

  • Public Profile Data: Information submitted by college management (e.g., fees, staff, photos, facilities, sports details) is displayed publicly for students to view.

C. Cookies and Tracking

Colnex.in does not use cookies, web beacons, or any similar tracking technologies to monitor your behavior.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your limited information only for legitimate and essential purposes:

  • Service Delivery: To display relevant colleges to students based on their chosen stream and location.

  • Authentication & Security: To verify identity through OTP login and prevent unauthorized access.

  • Communication & Updates:
    Student mobile numbers may receive important updates, promotional alerts, or new feature notifications via SMS or WhatsApp (only from Colnex.in official channels).

  • College Account Management:
    For handling subscriptions, payments, and profile updates.

  • Website Functionality Improvements:
    Minimal non-sensitive data may be used to improve search accuracy or service quality in the future.

3. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We respect your privacy — we never sell, rent, or trade your data to anyone.
Your information may be shared only in these limited cases:

  • Service Providers:
    With trusted partners who help us operate the platform (e.g., OTP gateway, hosting provider, payment gateway).
    These partners are obligated to protect your data and use it solely for the intended purpose.

  • Legal Obligations:
    When required by law, regulation, or government request (for example, from the Department of Pre-University Education).

  • College Data:
    Information uploaded by colleges in their profile templates is publicly visible to all users.

4. DISCLAIMER REGARDING COLLEGE DATA

All college information (fees, faculty, facilities, photos, etc.) shown on Colnex.in is submitted directly by college representatives.
While we take steps to verify and moderate submissions, Colnex.in cannot guarantee complete accuracy or error-free data.
Students are encouraged to visit the college personally or verify details before making final admission decisions.

5. DATA SECURITY

We employ reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect your limited personal information.
Because we collect minimal data and do not store sensitive credentials, the risk of misuse is very low.
However, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure — users are advised to protect their own login credentials and devices.

6. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect service improvements or legal requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above.
We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed.
