1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines how Dynamic Professional Skills (DPS) Educational Society ("Data Fiduciary," "we," "us," or "our") collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal data when you use the website https://www.dynamicexams.org/ and our related mobile applications (collectively, the "Platform").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data practices. This policy is formulated in strict compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and applicable laws of India.

For the purposes of this policy, "Data Principal" refers to you, the user (or the parent/lawful guardian acting on behalf of a child), whose personal data is collected and processed by us.

2. Collection of Personal Data

We collect only the personal data that is necessary for providing our services. The types of data we may collect include:

• Identity and Demographic Data: Name, age, date of birth, gender, and school/class details.
• Contact Data: Email address, phone number, and residential address (of the parent/guardian or student).
• Assessment Data: Answers submitted during Olympiad examinations, scores, performance metrics, and historical testing records.
• Transaction Data: Billing details and transaction history. (Note: We use secure third-party payment gateways and do not store full credit card/UPI details on our servers).
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and login timestamps to ensure platform security and prevent cheating.

3. Purpose of Processing Personal Data

We process your personal data strictly for the following legitimate purposes:

• Service Delivery: To register users, facilitate participation in DPS Olympiads, and generate admit cards.

• Communication: To send critical updates regarding exam schedules, results, technical issues, and policy changes.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from government authorities, and protect our legal rights.
• Security: To maintain academic integrity, detect fraud, and prevent impersonation during examinations.

4. Special Provisions for Children's Data

Because our core users are school students, most Data Principals on our Platform are children (under the age of 18). In strict accordance with Section 9 of the DPDP Act, 2023, we implement the following safeguards:

• Verifiable Parental Consent: We do not process any personal data of a child without obtaining explicit, verifiable consent from the child's parent or lawful guardian.
• No Detrimental Processing: We do not process children's personal data in any manner that is likely to cause a detrimental effect on the well-being of the child.
• Prohibited Activities: We strictly do not engage in the tracking, behavioral monitoring, or profiling of children. However, student database may be shared with Educational Partners/Sponsors who may use it for educational outreach and publicity (limited by the sponsorship agreement).

5. Consent and Withdrawal

• Providing Consent: By registering on our Platform and clicking "I Agree," you (or the parent/guardian) provide clear, affirmative, and specific consent for us to process personal data for the purposes stated in this policy.
• Withdrawing Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you choose to withdraw consent, please contact our Grievance Officer. Upon withdrawal, we will cease processing your personal data within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that withdrawing consent may result in the suspension of your access to the Platform and related services (e.g., inability to take exams or receive results).

6. Rights of the Data Principal

Under the DPDP Act, 2023, you (or the parent/guardian on behalf of a child) possess the following rights:

7. Data Sharing and Processors

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Data Processors: We may employ trusted third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting services like AWS/Google Cloud, SMS gateways, payment aggregators) to operate the Platform. These entities are bound by strict data processing agreements and may only process data on our behalf.
• Legal Authorities: We will disclose personal data if required to do so by law, court order, or lawful request from government/law enforcement agencies.

8. Data Retention and Security

• Retention: We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. Once the purpose is fulfilled (and no legal obligation to retain the data exists), we will securely delete or anonymize the data.
• Security Practices: We implement robust, industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures (including encryption and secure servers) to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or destruction.
