We adopt robust technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized access. Information is stored in secured servers, databases, and physical records, accessible only by authorized personnel. We use encryption, firewalls, password protection, and regular audits to safeguard sensitive data.
Despite our best efforts, no system can guarantee complete security. Students and guardians are advised to take precautions, such as protecting their login credentials, avoiding public networks for sensitive activities, and reporting any suspicious activities to the Academy immediately.
In case of a data breach, the Academy will take timely corrective actions and, where legally required, notify affected individuals.
When using our website, online learning platforms, or mobile applications, certain data is automatically collected through cookies and similar technologies. These may include information such as browsing behavior, preferences, session duration, and device details.
Cookies help us improve user experience, analyze platform performance, and personalize content delivery. Students can manage or disable cookies through browser settings, but this may limit functionality or access to certain features.
Our online platforms may also use third-party tools for analytics, video hosting, or communication. These third parties may collect limited information in compliance with their respective privacy policies.
We recognize the rights of students and guardians regarding their personal data. These rights include:
- Right to Access: You may request a copy of the information we hold about you.

Success Academy Nashik retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. Academic records, payment histories, and other critical information may be retained for longer periods in compliance with legal, financial, or administrative requirements.
Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized to prevent misuse. Physical documents are shredded, and digital data is erased using industry-approved methods.
Photographs, videos, and testimonials of students may be taken during academic sessions, events, competitions, or promotional activities. These may be used by the Academy for educational, administrative, or marketing purposes, including publication on brochures, social media, or websites.
If students or guardians do not wish to have their media used for promotional purposes, they must provide written intimation to the Academy at the time of admission. However, photographs taken for internal records, ID cards, or mandatory academic documentation cannot be excluded.
Our website or digital platforms may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services. These external platforms operate under their own privacy policies, and Success Academy Nashik is not responsible for their practices. Students and guardians are encouraged to review the privacy policies of such third parties before engaging with them.
As many of our students are minors, we give special importance to protecting children’s personal data. Information collected from students under the age of 18 is obtained with the consent of parents or guardians. We do not knowingly collect or process more information than is necessary for educational purposes.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their child’s use of online platforms and guide them about responsible digital behavior. Any misuse of online access by students may lead to suspension of privileges and notification to guardians.
Success Academy Nashik may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in regulations, technology, or our practices. Updated versions will be published on our website and notified through official communication channels where feasible. Continued use of our services after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
For questions, clarifications, or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or data handling practices, students and guardians may contact our administrative office during working hours. The Academy will make all reasonable efforts to address queries promptly and transparently.
