Birla Education Trust, Pilani (“BET”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of individuals who use our website and mobile application.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, access, use, store, share, protect and delete personal information when you use our website at https://www.betportal.org.in/ and our Android applications “Birla Education Trust Pilani” and “Birla Education Trust Pilani Staff” (“Apps”).
This policy applies to students, parents or guardians, staff members and other authorised users, as applicable to the features offered by the App.
By using the App or website, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will obtain it separately as appropriate.
We collect only the information necessary to provide the relevant services and functionality of the App and website. Depending on the features you use, the information may include:
Where supported by the App and necessary for its functions, information may include student enrolment details, class or section, attendance, academic records, examination results, notices and other school-related information.
The App or website, or services integrated into them, may process technical information such as device type, operating system, app version, IP address, diagnostic information, log data and usage events, where applicable.
We may process information that you voluntarily submit through forms, enquiries, feedback, support requests or other features of the App or website.
The App may request access to device features only where required for a specific functionality. Any collection or use of information through permissions, including camera, files, location or notifications, will depend on the App's actual implementation and will be disclosed where applicable.
We do not intend to collect information that is unnecessary for the stated purposes of the App.
We may use information, as applicable, to:
We will not use personal information for purposes incompatible with this policy without an appropriate lawful basis or consent where required.
We process personal information in accordance with applicable data protection and other relevant laws. Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on consent, the provision of requested services, applicable legal obligations or another lawful basis.
Where consent is required, it will be obtained before the relevant processing begins. Users may withdraw consent where applicable, subject to legal obligations and the continued availability of services that depend on the relevant information.
We may share relevant information only where necessary and appropriate, including:
Service providers receiving personal information must be subject to appropriate confidentiality, security and data-protection obligations.
We do not authorise service providers to use personal information for purposes outside their permitted services. The actual categories of third parties receiving information will depend on the App's integrations and must be reflected accurately in our disclosures.
We take reasonable technical, organisational and administrative measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
Depending on the systems used, safeguards may include access controls, authentication, encryption in transit, restricted access and appropriate security monitoring.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. However, we take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us.
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, maintain required institutional records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or protect legitimate security interests.
When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise disposed of, subject to applicable legal and record-retention requirements.
Users may request deletion of their personal information by contacting us at contactus@bet.org.in.
The request should identify the App, the relevant account or user, and the information or account for which deletion is requested. We may need to verify the requester's identity or authority before proceeding.
Where the App permits users to create an account, we will provide an appropriate process to request account deletion both within the App and through an external web resource, as required by Google Play policy.
Upon a valid request, we will delete the account and associated personal information within a reasonable period, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements. Any information that must be retained will be restricted to the permitted purpose and retained only for the required period.
Before publication: If the App supports account creation, implement an actual in-app deletion pathway and publish a working external account-deletion request page. A contact email alone should not be treated as a substitute for Google's required in-app deletion pathway.
Our services may be used in an educational context involving students who are minors.
Where applicable, we handle children's personal information with particular care and in accordance with relevant legal requirements and applicable Google Play policies.
Where required, appropriate consent or authorisation from a parent, guardian or other legally authorised person will be obtained.
Access to student information should be limited to authorised users and appropriate institutional purposes. We do not intend to collect children's personal information beyond what is necessary for the relevant educational or institutional services.
Any child-directed features, advertising or third-party SDKs must comply with the applicable requirements before being made available.
The App or website may use third-party services or contain links to external websites.
These services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Where third-party software development kits (SDKs), analytics tools, crash-reporting services, notification services or other integrations are used, their data practices must be reviewed and accurately disclosed where required.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of external services before using them.
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain website functionality, remember preferences, analyse usage or support security, where applicable.
Users may manage cookies through their browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
This section applies to the website and does not automatically mean that the Android App uses cookies. Any analytics, advertising identifiers or similar technologies used within the App must be disclosed according to their actual implementation.
Subject to applicable law, users may request access to, correction of, updating of or deletion of their personal information. Users may also raise concerns about the collection, use, storage or disclosure of their information.
Requests may be submitted using the contact details provided below. We will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Where a request concerns a student's information, we may require verification that the requester is the student, parent, guardian or another person authorised to make the request.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, data-processing practices, technology or legal requirements.
The revised version will be published on our website with an updated “Last Updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before implementing changes that require it.
