Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026.

This policy explains what personal data The Scholar Times collects, why, and what choices you have.

What we collect

• Email address, if you subscribe to the Deadline Digest.
• Messages and reports you send through our contact and corrections forms, including any details you choose to include.
• Technical data such as your IP address and browser type, which our server and security tools process to keep the site running, prevent abuse and limit repeated form submissions.
• Cookies. The site and its caching and security tools may set cookies that are needed for the site to work. We may use analytics or advertising cookies, and you can control cookies in your browser settings.

The calculators run in your browser. The numbers you type into them are not sent to us.

How we use it

We use your email only to send the digest you asked for. We use messages to reply and to fix errors. We use technical data for security, performance and understanding how the site is used.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and email delivery), or when the law requires it. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google servers when a page loads.

How long we keep it

We keep subscriber emails until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. We keep messages for as long as needed to deal with them and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Your rights

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and other applicable law, you may ask to access, correct or erase your personal data, withdraw consent, or raise a grievance. Use our contact page and say what you need.

Children

The site is meant for students and parents. If you are under 18, please get a parent or guardian’s permission before sending us personal data.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
