Enrollment and Identity Data: When you apply or enroll, we collect personal details such as your full name, date of birth, contact information (email address, phone number, residential address), demographic details, and previous academic records.
Financial Data: For the purpose of fee collection, we collect necessary payment information.
(Note: If payments are processed directly through a bank portal integrated into your site, specify that sensitive card details are handled by the banking partner).
Academic Records: We generate and securely store data related to your academic journey, including course registrations, grades, and examination results.
System and Tracking Data: To maintain the security and functionality of our platform, our servers automatically collect certain technical information. We may utilize client-side scripting, including JavaScript and jQuery, to establish unique browser identities.

Data Security measures

The University implements stringent administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
To safeguard our systems and secure communications across our web services and APIs, we utilize robust identity management systems.
