Privacy Policy

At Uimarix, we believe transparency isn't just a buzzword—it's fundamental to how we operate. This policy explains exactly how we handle your personal information when you engage with our journalism and critical thinking programs. We've written this in plain English because privacy policies shouldn't require a law degree to understand.

Information We Collect

When you interact with our platform, we collect information in several ways. Some information you provide directly—like when you fill out enrollment forms or contact us with questions. Other information we gather automatically as you navigate our website, such as your IP address and browsing patterns.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves specific purposes that directly benefit your educational experience. We use personal data to manage your enrollment, track academic progress, and provide personalized learning support. Communication details help us respond to inquiries and send relevant course updates.

We also analyze usage patterns to improve our programs—understanding which journalism modules resonate most with students helps us refine our curriculum. However, this analysis focuses on aggregate trends rather than individual behavior tracking. We never sell your personal information to third parties or use it for purposes unrelated to your education.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We share information only when necessary for educational services or legal compliance. Course instructors access your academic records to provide feedback and guidance. Payment processors handle billing information securely, but they don't receive unnecessary personal details.

Your Privacy Rights

You maintain significant control over your personal information. Upon request, we'll provide a complete record of data we hold about you. If information becomes outdated or incorrect, you can request updates or corrections at any time.

Students can also request data deletion, though we may retain certain academic records as required by educational regulations. For currently enrolled students, some information remains necessary for course completion and certification purposes. We'll explain any limitations when you make specific requests.

Data Security and Retention

We implement multiple security layers to protect your information. Data encryption, secure servers, and regular security audits help prevent unauthorized access. Our team receives ongoing privacy training to ensure they handle your information appropriately.

Information retention depends on the type of data and your relationship with us. Active student records remain accessible during enrollment and for two years afterward to support transcript requests. Marketing communications are removed immediately upon unsubscribe requests. Payment records follow standard financial regulations for retention periods.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience and remember your preferences. Essential cookies keep you logged in and maintain your course progress. Analytics cookies help us understand which content proves most valuable to journalism students.

You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling certain cookies might limit website functionality. We don't use invasive tracking technologies or create detailed behavioral profiles for advertising purposes—our focus remains on educational excellence rather than data monetization.

International Data Transfers

While Uimarix operates primarily within India, some service providers may process data internationally. We ensure appropriate safeguards protect your information during any international transfers, including contractual protections and compliance with applicable data protection standards.

Children's Privacy

Our programs target adult learners and working professionals. We don't knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years old. If we discover such information was provided, we'll delete it promptly and request that parents or guardians contact us directly.

Policy Updates

Privacy practices evolve alongside technology and regulations. We'll notify you of significant policy changes through email and prominent website notices. Minor clarifications or additions may be updated without individual notification, but we'll always maintain the policy's effective date.
