1. About Cookies and Our Usage

1.1 What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website (like UpSchool) stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting information. When these cookies collect information that can identify you (such as an IP address or unique identifier), they are considered Personal Data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

2. Your Consent, Control, and Rights

Your Consent and Rights (DPDP Act Compliance)

We are committed to transparent data processing in compliance with the DPDP Act. Before placing any non-essential cookies on your device (including Performance, Functionality, and Targeting cookies), we must obtain your free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent through a clear affirmative action. This means we operate on an "Opt-in" model for non-essential cookies.

You have the right to withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data via cookies at any time, and the process to do so will be as easy as the process of giving it.

How to Manage Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences and withdraw consent in two ways:

1. Cookie Preference Center: You can easily modify your settings at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link, typically located in the footer of our website. This center allows you to accept or reject different categories of non-essential cookies.

2. Browser Settings: You can also control cookies through your web browser's settings. You can usually configure your browser to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being sent. However, please be aware that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impact the functionality and experience of our Service.

Data Retention

We retain data collected via cookies only for the duration necessary to fulfil their respective purposes (e.g., to maintain a session or track long-term trends) or until you withdraw your consent, after which the data will be securely disposed of.
