4. Basis for Processing and Consent

We process your information based on the consent you give when you submit a form or contact us, and where needed to take steps you request (such as processing an admission enquiry) or to meet legal requirements. You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to us at the contact details in Section 12. Withdrawal will not affect processing already carried out, and it may mean we can no longer process your enquiry or application.

5. Sharing of Information

We may share your information only in the following situations:

  • Within the Geetanjali Group: with the relevant campus or the admissions team so that your enquiry reaches the right school.
  • Service providers: trusted partners who help us run the Website, host data, send emails or messages, manage enquiries (CRM), and run analytics or advertising. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
  • Legal and regulatory needs: where required by law, court order, or a government authority, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our students, staff, and the group.
  • Business restructuring: if the group’s operations are reorganised, information may be transferred as part of that process, subject to this policy.

Where our partners are located outside India, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information remains protected.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and similar tools to make the site work properly, understand how visitors use it, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing. These may include analytics tools such as [Google Analytics] and advertising or social media tools such as [Meta Pixel / Google Ads], if enabled.
