Effective Date: April 10, 2026
This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide when interacting with our student portal and website.
1. Introduction
Tukaram Krishna Sutar Educational Trust ("the Trust"), operating Sparkling Star Pre Primary School, is committed to safeguarding the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals who interact with our website and student portal at scholarsschoolcollege.in.
This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how that information is used, and the measures we take to ensure it remains secure. By accessing or using our website or student portal, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described herein.
2. Information We Collect
To facilitate seamless academic administration through our student portal, the Trust collects the following categories of personal information:
- Full name and date of birth of the student
- Parent or guardian contact details (mobile number and email address)
- Residential address and emergency contact information
- Academic information including class, division, roll number, and academic records
- Fee payment history and transaction references (non-sensitive identifiers only)
Information is collected only to the extent necessary for the functioning of the student panel and associated academic services.
3. Payment Data Security
The Trust offers a secure online fee payment facility through its student portal. We wish to clearly state the following:
The Trust does not store, process, or have access to any credit card numbers, debit card numbers, net banking credentials, UPI PINs, or any other sensitive payment instrument data.
All fee transactions are processed exclusively through a PCI-DSS compliant, SSL-encrypted third-party payment gateway. Payment credentials are entered directly on the gateway's secure servers and are never transmitted to or stored on our systems.
Only non-sensitive transactional metadata — such as a payment reference number, transaction status, and amount — is recorded in our system solely for the purpose of updating the student's fee ledger.
Students and parents are advised to review the privacy policy of the respective payment gateway for details on how their financial data is handled during the transaction process.

Information collected by the Trust is used exclusively for legitimate educational and administrative purposes, including:
- Management of student enrollment, attendance, and academic records
- Processing and reconciliation of school fee payments
- Communication regarding academic calendars, examinations, results, and school events
- Issuance of official certificates, reports, and notifications
- Compliance with regulatory and statutory obligations applicable to educational institutions
We do not use student or parent data for any commercial, promotional, or non-educational purpose without explicit prior consent.
5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure
The Trust treats all student and parent information with the utmost confidentiality. We affirm the following commitments:
Student data is never sold, rented, or shared with any third-party entity for marketing, advertising, or commercial profiling purposes.

- To authorized school staff and administrators on a need-to-know basis
- To government bodies, regulatory authorities, or affiliating boards as mandated by law

In all such cases, the disclosure is governed by applicable data protection laws and is limited to the minimum information necessary.
