Who We Are
This website is operated by Gulbarga Educational Trust’s Shahbaaz English Medium School. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our website, including parents, students, prospective families, and members of the public.
We believe in being transparent about how this website works. This page explains what information may be collected when you visit our website or submit a form, how it is used, and who it may be shared with.
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this page.
What Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: automatically through tracking tools when you browse the website, and directly when you fill out a form or leave a comment.
Automatically collected information: When you visit this website, third-party tools such as Google Analytics, the Google Ads tag, and the like may automatically collect certain information, including your approximate location, browser type, device type, pages visited, and how you arrived at our site. This information does not identify you personally but helps us understand how visitors use the website and how effective our outreach is.
Information you provide: If you submit a contact enquiry or an admission enquiry through our online forms, we collect the details you enter, which may include your name, contact number, email address, and any information you’ve provided willingly. When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day. We also use cookies and tracking technologies by certain third parties like Google Analytics, Google Ads, and the like. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some features of the website function.
Additionally, some basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and approximate region, may be logged automatically by our web hosting provider as part of standard server operations.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Children’s Privacy
We are a school and take the privacy of children very seriously. Our website forms are intended to be completed by parents or guardians on behalf of their children, not by children directly. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from minors.
Any information about a student submitted through our admission or contact forms is provided by a parent or guardian and is used solely for the purpose of responding to their enquiry.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. However, by using this website and submitting forms, certain data is processed by the third-party platforms we use, each governed by their own privacy policies. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How We Use Your Information and Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Information collected through our forms is used solely to respond to your enquiry or process your admission request. We do not use form submissions for marketing purposes, nor do we share them with unrelated third parties.
Anonymised data collected through Google Analytics and advertising platforms is used to understand how visitors find and use our website, and to improve the relevance of our advertisements.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time as our website evolves. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
