Privacy Policy

How we look after the information of our students, parents and website visitors.

Last updated: 29 October 2026

1. Who we are

This website belongs to Chanda South End Model School, Chanda More, near SBI Bank, Asansol, West Bengal 713339 (CBSE Affiliation No. 2430245). In this policy, “we”, “us” and “the school” mean Chanda South End Model School.

This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it and how we protect it. By using this website or sharing your details with us, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run the school and to reply to you.

Student details: name, date of birth, class, previous school records, Aadhaar or other ID where the law or the board requires it, and health information shared by parents for the child’s safety.
Parent or guardian details: name, phone number, email address, home address and occupation.
Enquiry details: what you type into our admission enquiry form, such as your name, phone number, email, the class you are asking about and your message.
Fee and payment records: fee receipts and dues. We do not store card or bank details on this website.
Website data: basic technical data such as browser type, device and pages visited.

3. Why we collect it

We use your information to:

Reply to admission enquiries and process admissions and registrations.
Maintain student records, attendance, results and fee accounts.
Send notices, circulars, results and event updates.
Keep students safe, including contacting parents in an emergency.
Meet the rules of the CBSE, the government and other authorities.
Improve our website and services.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for any purpose that you would not reasonably expect.

4. Children's information and parental consent

Most of the information we hold is about children. We collect it from parents or guardians, and we use it only for education, safety and school administration. If you give us a child’s information, we take it that you are the parent or legal guardian and that you agree to us using it as described here.

A parent or guardian can ask us at any time to see, correct or update their child’s information.

5. Photographs and videos

We may take photos and videos at school events, classes, sports days and competitions. We may use them in the school’s printed material, on this website and on our social media pages to share the life of the school.

If you do not want your child’s photo or video to be used publicly, please tell the school office in writing. We will stop using it in new material and will remove it from our website and social media where we can.

6. Sharing of information

We do not share personal information with outsiders except in these cases:

With school staff who need it to do their work.
With the CBSE, the government and other authorities, when the law or a board rule requires it.
With trusted service providers, such as software, transport or SMS and email services, who work for us and must keep the information safe.
When needed to protect the safety of a student or to follow a court order.

7. Enquiry form, cookies and analytics

When you send our admission enquiry form, your details are sent to the school office so that we can contact you. We use them only to reply to your enquiry.

Like most websites, ours may use cookies, which are small files stored on your device, to make the site work properly and to understand how visitors use it. You can switch cookies off in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as well if you do.

Our pages may link to other websites, such as Google Maps, WhatsApp and social media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

8. How we protect your information

We keep records in locked school offices and in password-protected systems, and only authorised staff can open them. We take reasonable steps to guard against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No website or system can be made completely safe, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we take the matter seriously.

9. How long we keep information

We keep student records for as long as a child studies here and afterwards for the period that the CBSE and the law require, for example for transfer certificates and mark sheets. Enquiry details of families who do not take admission are kept for a limited time and then deleted. When we no longer need information, we delete it or destroy it safely.

10. Your rights

You have the right to:

Ask what personal information we hold about you or your child.
Ask us to correct information that is wrong or out of date.
Withdraw your consent for uses that are not required by law, such as the public use of photos.
Ask us to delete information that we no longer need, unless the law requires us to keep it.
Make a complaint if you feel your information has been handled wrongly.

To use any of these rights, write to us using the details below. We will reply as soon as we can.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated shown below. Please check it now and then.
