1. About SkillArc & Scope
SkillArc operates educational workshops, immersive learning bootcamps, and cohort-based enrichment programmes (including our flagship Immersive Learning Week in DLF Phase 1, Gurugram, India).
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected through our website (skillarc.co), enquiry forms, registration workflows, email, and WhatsApp communications with prospective and participating families.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect information that is strictly necessary to evaluate eligibility, coordinate cohort admissions, and deliver our in-person educational experiences:
- Parent / Guardian Information: Full name, email address, phone number, and WhatsApp contact handle.
- Student Information: First and last name, current school, grade level (Grades 5–8), age, and academic or maker interests.
- Logistical & Safety Details: Emergency contact details, pickup authorization, and any declared medical or dietary needs relevant to in-person participation.
We do not collect payment card numbers or banking passwords on our website. All programme payments are conducted via secure invoice links, bank transfer, or verified third-party payment gateways.
3. How We Use Information
We use the data collected exclusively for legitimate educational and operational purposes:
- Processing enquiries, confirming cohort seats, and sharing curriculum schedules.
- Direct parent communications regarding student progress, daily logistical updates, and safety announcements.
- Customizing hands-on projects (such as sensor builds or writing prompts) to match participating students' grade tiers and abilities.
- Responding to questions submitted via email, contact forms, or WhatsApp.
We never sell, rent, trade, or monetize your or your child's data to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances.
4. Children's Privacy & Parental Consent
SkillArc programmes are specifically tailored for children in Grades 5–8 (approx. 9 to 14 years old). We take young learners' privacy with utmost seriousness:
- Enquiry forms and registrations must be completed by a parent, legal guardian, or authorized educator.
- We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information directly from children without verifiable parental consent.
- Parents hold full authority to review, request corrections to, or instruct us to delete any stored information concerning their child.
6. Data Security & Retention
We maintain appropriate administrative and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. All website traffic is protected by end-to-end TLS 1.3 encryption.
We retain personal records only for the duration required to satisfy programme delivery, maintain educational records requested by parents, and comply with applicable statutory requirements in India.
7. Media & Photography
During workshop activities, our team may occasionally photograph or film project demonstrations and presentations to document student accomplishments and create educational retrospectives.
We respect every family's privacy: parents can opt out of photography or public showcase at any time by notifying us during enrolment or emailing [email protected]. In such cases, we ensure the student is excluded from any promotional photography.
8. Your Rights & Choices
You have the right at any time to:
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you or your child.
- Request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete details.
- Request the deletion of your family's records from our active enquiry registers.
- Withdraw consent for optional communications or workshop showcase photography.
