Who we are

Our website address is: https://parnamiinstitute.com

We publish information and guidance about online and distance MBA programmes offered by universities in India, and we help visitors compare programmes and connect with institutions.

If you have any questions about this policy or about the personal data we hold, you can reach us at:

Enquiry forms and counselling requests

When you submit an enquiry form, callback request, brochure download or counselling form on our website, we collect the details you enter — typically your name, email address, phone number, city, and the programme or university you are interested in. We may also record the page you submitted the form from and the date and time of submission.

We use this information to respond to your enquiry, share course details and fee structures, and put you in touch with the relevant university, institute or authorised admission partner. By submitting an enquiry form you agree that we or our partner institutions may contact you by phone, SMS, email or WhatsApp regarding your enquiry, even if your number is registered on the National Do Not Call (DNC) or DND registry. You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time using the contact details above.

Comments

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, you should 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 one day.

We and our partners also use cookies for analytics and advertising, as described below. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings; blocking some cookies may affect how parts of this website work.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had 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.

Analytics and advertising

We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use our website. These services collect information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, approximate location, device type and referring source, and they use cookies or similar technologies to do so. You can read Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and opt out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may also display advertising served by third-party networks. These networks may use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites. You can review and adjust Google’s ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com.

Who we share your data with

We share the details you submit through enquiry and counselling forms with the universities, institutes and authorised admission partners relevant to your enquiry, so that they can contact you with programme, admission and fee information.

We may also share data with service providers who help us run the website, such as hosting providers, email and CRM platforms, and spam-detection services. These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

We may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, or to protect our legal rights.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell your personal data.

How long we retain your 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.

Enquiry and lead data is retained for as long as needed to assist you with admissions and for our internal record-keeping, and is deleted on request unless we are required to keep it for legal or accounting reasons.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

You may also ask us to correct inaccurate information, withdraw your consent to being contacted, or unsubscribe from our emails. To exercise any of these rights, write to us at [your-email@parnamiinstitute.com].

We handle personal data in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Our website and the services we use may store or process data on servers located outside India.

How we protect your data

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including SSL encryption on our website, to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for people aged 18 and above who are considering higher education programmes. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
