Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 28 August 2026 — Effective Date: 28 August 2026

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how STEMVentor Educonsulting (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles personal data in connection with this website at https://www.stemventor.com (the “Website”).

The Website is an informational website. It has no user accounts, no login, no sign-up or contact forms, no payments, and no online store.

The short version: the Website sets no cookies of its own, uses no analytics (including Google Analytics), and does not track, profile, or advertise to you. Our CDN/security provider may set one strictly-necessary anti-bot cookie — see the Cookies Policy. The only personal data we handle is what you choose to send us directly — for example, by emailing us — together with the limited technical logs that any web server records. Details are below.

This Policy is issued in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000; the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011; and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDPA 2023”) of India.

1. Key Definitions

Personal Data means any data about an individual who is identifiable by or in relation to such data.

Data Principal means the individual to whom the Personal Data relates. Where the Data Principal is a minor, this includes their parent or lawful guardian.

Data Fiduciary means the Company, which alone or in conjunction with others determines the purpose and means of processing Personal Data.

Processing means any automated or manual operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, or deletion.

Minor means any individual below the age of 18 years, as defined under Indian law. Child means any individual below the age of 13 years.

Consent means a free, informed, specific, clear, and unambiguous affirmative act by a Data Principal indicating agreement to the processing of their Personal Data.

2. Personal Data We Collect

2.1 Information You Send Us Directly

The Website displays email addresses (such as support@stemventor.com) and links to our social media profiles. If you choose to contact us by email or through those channels, we receive whatever you include — typically your name, your email address or social handle, and the contents of your message. Providing this information is entirely voluntary and within your control.

2.2 Technical Data (Server Logs)

Like every website, the servers that host the Website automatically record limited technical information when your browser requests a page, including:

  • IP address and the approximate region derived from it
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages requested, and the date, time, and duration of the request
  • The referring website or source, if your browser sends one

These logs are generated by our hosting infrastructure and are used only to keep the Website running, to diagnose faults, and to detect and prevent abuse or attacks. They are not combined with any other data and are not used to build a profile of you.

2.3 Data Stored on Your Own Device

If you use the light/dark appearance toggle, your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage. This stays on your device, is never sent to us, and is not personal data. See our Cookies Policy for details.

2.4 What We Do Not Collect

  • No account, registration, or profile data — there is nothing to register for
  • No payment, billing, or financial information
  • No cookies set by us, and no analytics or measurement services of any kind (a strictly-necessary security cookie may be set by our CDN — see the Cookies Policy)
  • No advertising, retargeting, behavioural tracking, or cross-site tracking
  • No third-party login (Google or otherwise) on the Website
  • No sensitive personal data, and no data purchased from data brokers

3. How We Use Personal Data

We use the limited data described above only to:

  • Respond to enquiries, feedback, or requests you send us
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, abuse, or unauthorised access
  • Comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests from authorities

We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making, and we do not send unsolicited promotional email.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where you contact us, we process your data on the basis of your consent, given by choosing to send us the message, and for the purpose of responding to your request. Where we process server logs, we do so for the legitimate purpose of keeping the Website secure and operational, as permitted under applicable law. You may withdraw consent at any time as described in Section 7; this will not affect processing already carried out.

5. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your Personal Data with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Disclosure is limited to:

  • Service providers acting on our behalf — our website hosting and infrastructure provider (which processes server logs on our behalf) and our email provider (which transmits and stores email correspondence). These providers are bound to process data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities — where disclosure is required by Indian law, a court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the Company, or the public.
  • A successor entity — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to the successor upholding the commitments in this Policy. We will give notice on the Website before any such transfer takes effect.

6. Retention

We keep Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law:

  • Email and other correspondence: up to 2 years after the matter it relates to is closed, unless a longer period is required by law.
  • Server logs: up to 12 months from the date of collection.

When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Your Rights as a Data Principal

Under the DPDPA 2023 and applicable Indian law, you (and, where applicable, your parent or guardian) have the right to:

  • Access — obtain confirmation and a summary of the Personal Data we hold about you
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data where it is no longer necessary or where you withdraw consent, subject to legal retention obligations
  • Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting processing already carried out
  • Grievance redressal — have any grievance about our processing addressed in a timely manner
  • Nominate — nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of your death or incapacity
  • Approach the Data Protection Board of India — if you are not satisfied with our response, once the Board is constituted under the DPDPA 2023

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Grievance Officer (Section 10). We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.

8. Children and Minors

The Website is a general-audience informational site. It has no registration and is not directed at children below the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children. If you believe a child has sent us Personal Data by email, a parent or guardian may contact us at support@stemventor.com and we will delete it promptly.

We do not use any technology on the Website to profile minors or to serve them advertising.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or misuse. These include encryption of data in transit using industry-standard TLS/SSL, access controls limiting access to authorised personnel, and hosting with reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; while we use commercially reasonable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach likely to adversely affect your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

10. Grievance Officer and Contact Details

In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the DPDPA 2023, we have designated a Grievance Officer to address any concerns or complaints regarding this Policy or our data practices.

11. Transfer of Personal Data Outside India

Your Personal Data is primarily processed within India. Our hosting and email providers may process limited data (such as server logs and email correspondence) on infrastructure located outside India. Such transfers are made only to jurisdictions permitted under the DPDPA 2023, or where adequate contractual safeguards are in place to protect your data. By using the Website, you acknowledge that your data may be processed outside your country of residence, subject to the protections described in this Policy.

Your continued use of the Website after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the changes.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
