Legal
Privacy Policy
Last updated: [TO CONFIRM: effective date]
This Privacy Policy explains how [TO CONFIRM: legal entity name] (“My Online College”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use myonlinecollege.in (the “Site”).
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you submit an enquiry, request a callback, or use our Course Finder, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, phone number, email address, program of interest, state/location, and any message or preferences you share.
Information collected automatically. When you browse the Site we may collect your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring website, and marketing attribution parameters (such as UTM tags), using cookies and similar technologies.
2. Cookies, analytics & advertising
We use Google Tag Manager to manage the tags on our Site. Through it we run:
- Analytics — Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, to understand how the Site is used and improve it (Clarity may record aggregated session and interaction data).
- Advertising & remarketing — the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Google Ads, and Microsoft (Bing) Ads. These may set cookies and share limited data with those platforms so we can measure campaigns and show relevant ads.
You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some Site features. [TO CONFIRM: whether the Site shows a cookie-consent banner — there is currently none; confirm if one is required for your audience/jurisdiction].
3. How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiries and provide guidance, callbacks, and program recommendations.
- To connect you with relevant universities and education partners and their programs ([TO CONFIRM: confirm whether, and with which, partner universities/counsellors lead data is shared]).
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our services.
- To send you information about programs and offers you may be interested in; you can opt out at any time.
- To measure and improve our advertising.
4. How we share your information
We may share your information with:
- Universities / education partners you have expressed interest in ([TO CONFIRM: confirm this is accurate]).
- Service providers who process data on our behalf — for analytics, advertising, hosting, and communications (email/SMS/WhatsApp/calls).
- Legal and compliance — where required by law or to protect our rights.
We do not sell your personal data. [TO CONFIRM: confirm this statement]
5. Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or as required by law. [TO CONFIRM: retention period, e.g. lead data kept for N months/years].
6. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may opt out of marketing communications. To make a request, contact us at [TO CONFIRM: data-protection contact email]. We will respond within a reasonable time.
7. Third-party links
The Site may link to university or partner websites we do not control. This policy does not cover those sites; please review their privacy policies.
8. Children
The Site is intended for prospective higher-education students. It is not directed to children under [TO CONFIRM: age threshold, e.g. 16/18], and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
