In order to access certain features and benefits on our Platform, You may need to submit “Personally Identifiable Information” (i.e., information that can be used to identify you). Personally Identifiable Information can include, but not be limited to, information such as Your name, email address, contact number (cellular and landline), educational qualification(s), Aadhaar number, PAN, social security and tax identification numbers, and post-qualification or work experience among other things.

2. INFORMATION COLLECTION
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
When You come to our Platform, we may track, collect and aggregate Non-Personal Information indicating, among other things, which pages of our Platform were visited, the order in which they were visited, when they were visited, and which hyperlinks were “clicked.” We also collect information from the URLs through which You connected with our Platform. Collecting such information may involve logging the IP address, operating system and browser software used by each user of the Platform. Although such information may not be considered Personally Identifiable Information, based on local laws, we may be able to determine a user’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity from an IP address. We collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information from the Platform visitors to track the total number of visitors on the Platform in aggregate form and to identify the type of Internet web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer®) and operating system (e.g., Windows®) used by them.

As necessary under this Privacy Policy, our Service Providers are required to protect the information we provide them in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may use Your Personally Identifiable Information in order to provide such services to You and for quality control purposes, and we may also archive this information and/or use it for future communications with you. For example, Data Science Academy may make available to You chat room services that allow You to communicate with Data Science Academy’s staff members or Your peers in the same cohort, and we may use and share Your Personally Identifiable Information to provide these services to you.

These groups may be used to provide services in conjunction with the Programs, including, but not limited to, updates related to the Programs, details of potential employers, etc. Please be aware that the information disclosed on a third-party service provider’s platform will be dependent and subject to such third-party’s privacy policies and/or on Your settings regarding what information You have consented to share with them. Data Science Academy and/or its associates shall have no liability in this regard whatsoever.
Data Science Academy may use certain companies that enable You to establish a membership to participate in digital wallets, payment services or rewards programs.
