🔒 User Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Learn how College2India manages user privacy, cookies, automated tools, and data processing across our educational directory.

1. Information We Collect

College2India is an open-access educational directory designed to help students, parents, and researchers browse college profiles, calculate cutoff marks, and inspect school fees freely. We do not require account registration or collect sensitive personal banking details.

When you access the Website, standard non-personally identifiable server logs are recorded automatically, including:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address and approximate geographical region (city/state level)
  • Browser type, operating system version, and device viewport dimensions
  • Referring URL, requested pages, and timestamp of the visit
  • Search queries entered in our directory search bars (to improve indexing speed)

2. AI Tools & Automated Content Processing

College2India uses automated multi-source processing and Generative AI systems (such as Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Claude) to structure public gazetted tables, summarize academic prospectuses, and generate rank predictions.

We do not train external AI models on user private personal data. Any user inputs to public calculators (such as entering Maths/Physics/Chemistry marks to calculate a 200-mark TNEA score) are processed dynamically on the client-side or transiently in memory without being permanently tied to your personal identity.

3. Cookies and Advertising Partners

We employ cookies and similar web storage technologies to optimize platform speed and display relevant educational contextual notices:

  • Google AdSense: Google and its affiliated ad networks use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve advertisements based on your prior browsing history across the web.
  • Google Analytics: Aggregated audience metrics are captured via anonymized analytics cookies to measure page views, bounce rates, and popular college directory sections.
  • User Control: You may disable cookies at any time via your browser settings or opt out of interest-based ads via Google Ads Settings and AboutAds.info.

4. External Government & University Portals

College2India contains prominent hyperlinks pointing directly to official government bodies (e.g., ugc.gov.in, aicte-india.org, nta.ac.in, dte.tn.gov.in, tnfeecommittee.com). Once you leave College2India, you are governed by the privacy practices and security terms of those respective governmental domains.

5. Data Security & Storage

We maintain reasonable administrative and technological safeguards to protect the integrity of server infrastructure, prevent unauthorized data access, and guard against malicious intrusion.
