We are delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of AglaSem EduTech Pvt. Ltd. (hereinafter "AglaSem"). Use of the Internet pages of AglaSem EduTech Pvt. Ltd. is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.
This Privacy Policy applies to the website https://aglasem.com (hereinafter "Website") and related services offered on the Website, including off-site services ("Services").
AglaSem ("we" or "us") can modify this Privacy Policy, and if we make material changes to it, we will provide notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you object to any changes, you may close your account.
You acknowledge that your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Privacy Policy means that the collection, use and sharing of your personal data is subject to the updated Privacy Policy.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject accessing the Website in India shall always be in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000, including all amendments, in India; the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for data subjects located in the Designated Countries such as European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to data subjects accessing the Website in countries other than India and Designated Countries.
As the controller and processor, AglaSem has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this Website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of AglaSem is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000. In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Cookies
The Internet pages of AglaSem use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID — a unique identifier consisting of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored.
Through the use of cookies, AglaSem can provide the users of this Website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
4. Collection of general data and information
The Website of AglaSem collects a series of general data and information when a data subject accesses or an automated system calls up the Website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected information may include:
- the browser types and versions used;
- the operating system used by the accessing system;
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers);
- the sub-websites;
- the date and time of access to the Internet site;
- an Internet protocol address (IP address);
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system; and
- any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, AglaSem does not collect any personal data or draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is non-personal data which is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration, which could include the name, address, mobile number and email address. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for its own purposes.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject, along with the date and time of the registration, are also stored. The storage of this data takes place to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to do so, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller. The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations.
6. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of AglaSem EduTech Pvt. Ltd., users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
AglaSem informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date.
The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller.
7. Newsletter tracking
The newsletter of AglaSem EduTech Pvt. Ltd. contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels are stored and analyzed by the controller to optimize the shipping of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure.
8. Contact possibility via the website
The website of AglaSem EduTech Pvt. Ltd. contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
9. Posting and uploading
We collect personal data from you when you provide, post or upload it to our Services, such as when you fill out an examination/admission form, respond to a survey, take tests or submit a paper. You don't have to post or upload personal data; though if you don't, it may limit your ability to engage with your network over our Services.
10. Partners
We receive personal data about you when you use the services of our partners, such as some schools, universities, colleges and applicant tracking systems.
11. Lawful bases for processing
We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where you have given consent) and contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you — e.g. to deliver the Services you have requested).
Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time. If you have any questions about the lawful bases upon which we collect and use your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
