Privacy Policy
This explains what information Sumedha Education Network collects through our public website, student portal, admin dashboard, forms, communications, payments, classes, and integrations, and how we use it to provide education consultancy services.
Last updated: April 26, 2026
People first
The data exists to support students, applicants, guardians, counselors, teachers, and staff.
Operationally specific
This policy covers real Sumedha workflows, including forms, dashboards, payments, files, classes, and communications.
Restricted access
Dashboard access is limited by role, with security controls around account sessions and sensitive actions.
What This Policy Covers
Sumedha Education Network operates a study abroad consultancy website, public inquiry forms, course and exam preparation pages, student account areas, and internal dashboards for staff. This policy covers information collected through those services and through direct interactions with our team.
In simple terms: if you contact us, register, book an appointment, submit documents, enroll in a class, make a payment, chat with us, or use a Sumedha dashboard, this policy explains how that information is handled.

We may also collect files uploaded through the platform, such as applicant documents, course materials, chat attachments, letterhead scans, QR images, blog images, and profile or contact images.
Technical Data
When you use the website or dashboard, we may process device, browser, IP address, page, referrer, session, authentication, security, and performance data. This helps keep accounts signed in, protect forms from abuse, troubleshoot errors, and understand which pages or tools need improvement.
- Supabase authentication cookies help maintain secure sessions for students, staff, and admins.
- CSRF tokens and security checks help protect dashboard actions and form submissions.
- Analytics and speed data help us measure page performance and improve the public website.
See the Cookie Policy for more detail about cookies and similar technologies.

- To manage student and applicant profiles, document checklists, admissions workflows, visa preparation, and internal notes.

How Long We Keep Data
We keep information for as long as needed to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, support audits, comply with law, and operate the dashboard. Application, payment, class, and communication records may need to be retained longer than general website inquiries.
When information is no longer required, we delete it, anonymize it, archive it, or restrict access based on the nature of the record and our operational obligations.
Your Choices and Rights
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete details.
- Ask us to delete information where deletion is possible and not restricted by legal, financial, security, or service-record obligations.
- Opt out of non-essential marketing messages while still receiving service and account communications.
- Disconnect third-party integrations where the dashboard allows it, or ask us to help.
To request deletion, visit our Data Deletion page.
Students Under 16
Our services often involve students and families. If a student is under 16, we expect a parent, guardian, or authorized representative to be involved before personal information, application records, or payment details are submitted.
Policy Updates
We may update this policy as our services, dashboard features, integrations, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last-updated date.
Questions or requests
For privacy, deletion, service, or account questions, contact Sumedha Education Network directly. We may need to verify your identity before making account or data changes.
Social Media and Messaging
To provide integrated support, our platform connects with Meta services (Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp Business).
