Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how IPU ADMISSION GUIDANCE ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://ipuniversity.in or use our counselling and college comparison services (the "Site").

Information We Collect

When you submit our counselling form, we collect:

• Your name, email address, and phone number
• The course or program you're interested in
• Any additional message you choose to include
• The page you submitted the form from

We do not require account creation to browse colleges, read blog articles, or use the counselling form.

How We Use Your Information

• To contact you about the counselling request you submitted
• To send a confirmation email acknowledging your request
• To improve our content and college comparison data
• To maintain a record of enquiries for our counselling team

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the Site:

• Email delivery — to send confirmation emails when you submit the counselling form.
• Google Sheets — as a backup record of counselling form submissions, accessible only to our team.
• Database hosting (MongoDB) — to store college listings, blog content, and form submissions securely.

Each of these providers processes data under their own privacy and security practices.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your light/dark theme preference. This is not a tracking cookie and is not shared with any third party — it stays on your device and is only used to render the Site the way you last set it.
