Privacy Policy

We may collect the information you provide directly to us, including your name, guardian or organization details where applicable, email address, mobile number, postal address, district, educational or occupational details, uploaded photographs or records, and messages submitted through contact or application forms.

When you browse the website, we may also collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location derived from network information, page access logs, and basic diagnostic data used for security, fraud prevention, and service maintenance.

Where a payment, cancellation, or refund workflow is used, we may store transaction reference numbers, payment status, refund status, order or application identifiers, and operational records needed to verify, reconcile, or support the transaction. Card, UPI PIN, bank password, and similar sensitive payment credentials are handled by the authorized payment partner and are not intentionally stored by API CULTURE on this website.

We use personal information to respond to inquiries, process training applications, review eligibility, manage admissions, communicate with applicants and trainees, issue confirmations, support payment and refund operations, and maintain security and audit records.

We may also use submitted information to comply with institutional requirements, maintain accounting and attendance records, investigate suspected fraud or misuse, meet legal obligations, and improve website reliability and service delivery.

By submitting a form, application, or payment request on this website, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this policy where consent is the appropriate basis. In other cases, we process information because it is necessary to take steps at your request, provide the requested service, meet legal obligations, or protect the legitimate interests of the center and its users.

We may contact you by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, or email regarding your inquiry, application status, batch schedule, payment confirmation, refund update, or other service-related notices. We do not sell personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing use.

Information may be shared only on a need-to-know basis with authorized institutional personnel, website hosting and infrastructure providers, payment processors, messaging providers, technical operators, and professional service providers supporting the operation of the platform.

We may disclose information if required by law, lawful request, audit requirement, dispute handling, fraud investigation, or for protection of the center, users, or the public.

Personal information is primarily processed and stored in India or in infrastructure used to securely serve users of this platform. Where third-party service providers are used, they may process limited data under their own contractual and security obligations.

This website may use essential cookies, server logs, and similar technologies needed for session continuity, security, spam prevention, load balancing, and basic website functionality.

We may also review aggregate traffic and performance data to understand how users access the site and to improve reliability. These tools are not used to sell your data.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including application review, communication, payment or refund support, compliance, accounting, and operational recordkeeping.

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information, including access controls and operational monitoring. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed as completely secure.

If an applicant is a minor, the relevant parent, guardian, school, institution, or authorized representative should ensure that submitted information is accurate and appropriately authorized.

You may request correction of inaccurate information submitted through the platform, and you may contact the center regarding withdrawal, deletion, or access requests where applicable. Some information may still need to be retained for admissions, accounting, fraud prevention, or legal compliance reasons.

We may update this policy from time to time by publishing the revised version on this page. The updated version becomes effective from the date shown as the last updated date unless stated otherwise.
