1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy is issued by Sarvoday Training Center (“we”, “us”, “our”), operating as Sarvoday Computer. We run a computer training institute and provide free online tools, courses, exam practice, job updates, student/staff management, attendance, fees and ID cards through our website and Android application.

Address: Imali Ped ke Niche, Near Khushboo Arogya Seva Sadan, Main Road, Barahi Bazar, Aurangabad, Bihar – 824101, India.

By using our website or installing/using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the services.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what is needed to run the institute, website and app.

2.1 Information you give us

• Account and identity: name, father’s/mother’s name, date of birth, gender, email, mobile number, postal address, username and password.
• Institute records: course, admission date, fees, attendance, leave, ID card details, enquiry details.
• Photos: student/staff profile photo and ID-card photo, if uploaded or captured for admission/ID.
• Government ID (enrolled institute students only): Aadhaar number and Aadhaar card images, used only for admission and identity verification. This is not used for advertising and is not shared with AdSense or AdMob.
• Google Sign-In: if you log in with Google, we receive your Google account name, email and Google user ID from Google.
• Messages: information you send through contact forms, WhatsApp, email or support requests.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, app version, language, pages/screens visited, date/time, referring URL and crash/diagnostic logs.
• Approximate location derived from IP (not precise GPS). We do not request location permission for GPS tracking.
• On Android: advertising ID (Google Advertising ID), device identifiers used by Google ads, and network status.
• On the device: login session stored locally so you stay signed in (role, student/client profile, language preference).

2.3 Information from camera (app only)

The app may use the camera to scan QR codes for attendance, gate entry and student ID verification. Camera access is requested only when you use scan features. We do not use the camera for advertising, and we do not continuously record video in the background.

3. How we use information

• Create and manage student, staff and admin accounts
• Provide courses, study content, tools, jobs and institute services
• Mark attendance, print ID cards, manage fees and leave
• Verify identity and prevent unauthorised access
• Respond to support requests
• Improve website/app performance, security and content
• Show advertisements through Google AdSense (website) and Google AdMob (app), as explained below
• Measure traffic with Google Analytics
• Comply with Indian law and protect the institute against fraud or misuse

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Advertising: Google AdSense (website) and Google AdMob (app)

We show third-party advertisements to support free tools and educational content. Advertising is provided by Google.

4.1 Website — Google AdSense

Our website uses Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-4286764750266245) to display ads. AdSense and its partners may use cookies, device information, IP address, browser data and browsing activity on our site and other sites to show ads, including personalised ads where allowed by law and your settings.

4.2 Android app — Google AdMob

The Sarvoday Computer Android app uses Google AdMob to display ads (banner, interstitial and/or other Google ad formats). AdMob and Google advertising partners may collect and process:

• Google Advertising ID and other advertising identifiers
• IP address and device/network information
• App activity related to ads (impressions, clicks)
• Approximate location (from IP)
• Diagnostics used to serve and measure ads

This data is processed by Google as described in Google’s own policies. We do not send your Aadhaar, passwords, fee records, attendance records or student photos to AdMob for ad targeting.

4.3 How to control ads

• Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
• How Google uses data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation (wording may vary by device)
• NPA / non-personalised ads may still be shown; they are based on context (for example, the page or app), not your advertising profile

Opting out of personalised ads does not remove all ads. You will still see ads, but they may be less relevant.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies, pixels and local storage for:

• Login sessions and security
• Remembering language and cookie-consent choice
• Google Analytics measurement
• Google AdSense ads and frequency capping

You can block cookies in your browser. Some features (especially login) may not work if cookies are disabled. On Android, AdMob uses advertising identifiers instead of browser cookies.

6. Android app permissions

• Internet / network: to load courses, login, tools and ads.
• Camera: to scan QR codes for attendance and ID verification. Optional; used only when you open the scanner.
• Advertising ID: used by Google AdMob to serve and measure ads. You can reset or opt out in Android Ads settings.

We do not request contacts, SMS, microphone, precise GPS or call-log permission for these services.

7. Third-party services

We use these third parties. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Google AdSense — website advertising — Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdMob — in-app advertising — Google Privacy Policy and AdMob & privacy
• Google Analytics — website traffic measurement (property G-L0M6CGFDG3)
• Google Sign-In — optional login with your Google account
• Hosting / email / WhatsApp — to run the website and communicate with you

Ads, analytics and Google Sign-In may transfer data to Google servers (including outside India) as described in Google’s policy. We do not control Google’s independent processing.

8. How we share information

We share personal information only:

• With Google for ads (AdSense/AdMob), analytics and Google Sign-In, as described above
• With institute staff/admins who need it to run courses, attendance, fees and ID cards
• With service providers who host or maintain our systems, under confidentiality
• If required by law, court order, or to protect safety, security or our legal rights
• If you ask us to (for example, a certificate or enquiry follow-up)

We do not sell student lists, phone numbers or Aadhaar data to advertisers or data brokers.

9. Data retention and security

Institute records (admission, attendance, fees, ID) are kept while you are a student/staff member and for a reasonable period afterwards for certificates, accounts and legal compliance. Login sessions on the phone stay until you log out. Advertising identifiers are controlled by Google/Android.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (HTTPS, restricted admin access, passwords). No internet service is 100% secure. Please keep your password private.

10. Children’s privacy

Our website and app are for computer-institute students, parents, staff and job seekers. They are not directed at children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for advertising, and we do not use AdSense/AdMob to target children. If a parent or guardian believes a child under 13 has provided personal data without consent, email help@sarvodaycomputer.in and we will delete it where required.

Enrolled institute students below 18 should use the app/website with parent/guardian knowledge. Parents may contact us to review, correct or delete a student’s record.

11. Your rights and account deletion

Under applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, subject to legal and institute record-keeping needs.

To request access, correction, or deletion:

• Use the dedicated page: https://sarvodaycomputer.in/Home/DeleteAccount
• Email help@sarvodaycomputer.in
• WhatsApp +91 8708787117
• In the app, use Logout to clear the local session on your device

We may need to verify your identity before deleting data. Some records (fee receipts, certificates, attendance required by the institute) may be retained as allowed by law even after an account request.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, ads or the law change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Continued use of the website or app after an update means you accept the revised policy. Please review this page before submitting or updating the app on Google Play.
