Privacy Policy

Introduction

This page explains how ORION PUBLIC SCHOOL collects, uses and protects information when you use our website and student portal. It also explains the choices you have about your information.

By using our services, you agree to the practices described here.

Definitions

Data We Collect

We only collect what we need to run the portal and communicate with families:

• Contact details — name, phone number, email address, and address, provided at admission or registration.
• Academic records — attendance, homework, marks, and report cards linked to your account.
• Payment details — fee amounts and payment status; card or UPI details are handled directly by our payment partner, not stored by us.
• Usage data — IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected automatically to keep the portal secure and working properly.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences:

• Essential cookies — required to log you in and keep your session secure. The portal will not work correctly without these.
• Preference cookies — remember settings such as language, so you don't have to reselect them each visit.

You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the portal may stop working if you do.

How We Use Your Data

• To run the student and parent portal, including attendance, homework and results.
• To process fee payments and send receipts.
• To send notices, exam schedules, and important updates by SMS, email, or app notification.
• To respond to enquiries and admission applications.
• To keep the portal secure and improve how it works.

Sharing Your Data

We do not sell personal data. We only share information when it is necessary to run the school and portal:

• Service providers — such as our payment gateway or SMS/app notification provider, who process data only on our instructions.
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or a government authority.
• With your consent — for any other purpose, only after you agree.

Retention

We keep academic and admission records for as long as a student is enrolled and afterward as required by education board rules or Indian law. Usage data is kept for a shorter period and used mainly to keep the portal secure.

Your Rights

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including secure login and encrypted payment processing through our payment partner. No method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Children's Privacy

Our portal is built for use by students under the supervision of a parent or guardian, and by parents and staff directly. We collect student information as part of the admission and school relationship, with the knowledge of a parent or guardian, and only use it for school-related purposes described in this policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
