Privacy Notice & Policy

Compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

1. Introduction

Welcome to Namma Coding Shaale. As a Data Fiduciary operating in India, we are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring full compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.

This Privacy Notice explains how Namma Coding Shaale ("we", "our", "us"), managed by Ravichandran T S, collects, processes, protects, and handles your personal data when you use our website and services.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We only collect personal data that is necessary for providing our educational services to you. Depending on your interactions with us, we collect the following categories of data:

a. Account and Profile Data

Identity Data: Full name, date of birth, and gender.
Contact Data: Email address and mobile number.
Authentication Data: Encrypted passwords or third-party OAuth tokens (e.g., Google login).

b. Educational and Activity Data

Course Progress: Quiz submissions, coding problem attempts, video completion statuses, and overall course progress.
Communications: Messages sent via our Contact Us form, including your name, email, phone number, and the contents of your inquiry.

c. Financial Data

Transaction Data: Payment status, payment method, order ID, and transaction ID. Note: We do not directly collect or store your credit card or bank account details. All payments are processed securely through certified third-party payment gateways.

3. Purpose and Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following lawful grounds, as specified by the DPDP Act:

With Your Consent: When you voluntarily provide data for specific purposes (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter, submitting a contact form, or completing your profile onboarding). You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
For Legitimate Uses: To fulfill our obligation to provide the educational services you requested, manage your enrollments, issue certificates, and process your payments.
Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable Indian laws, including tax and financial record-keeping requirements.

4. Children's Privacy

Age Restriction: Namma Coding Shaale is strictly intended for individuals who are 18 years of age or older.

We do not permit individuals under the age of 18 to register for an account or enroll in our courses. Consequently, we do not process the personal data of children, and the requirement for verifiable parental consent under the DPDP Act does not apply to our platform. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to securely delete that data.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share data with trusted Data Processors (third-party service providers) strictly necessary for delivering our services, subject to valid data processing agreements:

Payment Processors: To facilitate secure course purchases.
Communication Services: SMS/OTP providers for mobile verification and email providers for sending transactional and newsletter emails.
Legal Authorities: Only when legally required by an authorized government body or court order under Indian law.

6. Data Security and Retention

Security Safeguards: We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or personal data breaches.

Retention Period: We retain your personal data only for as long as you maintain an active account with us or as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. If you withdraw your consent or request account deletion, we will erase your personal data, except where retention is mandated by law (such as financial transaction records).

7. Your Rights as a Data Principal

Under the DPDP Act, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access: To obtain a summary of the personal data being processed by us and the identities of all Data Fiduciaries and Processors with whom the data has been shared.
Right to Correction and Erasure: To request the correction of inaccurate data, completion of incomplete data, updating of your data, or the erasure of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to Withdraw Consent: To withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal will not affect the legality of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to Nominate: To nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of your death or incapacity.
Right to Grievance Redressal: To have readily available means to register a grievance with us.

8. Grievance Redressal and Contact Details
