Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how nextchanakya ("nextchanakya", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you visit nextchanakya.com (the "Website") or interact with our online K–12 tutoring services (the "Services"). By using the Website or submitting your information through any form on it, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Who we are

nextchanakya provides live, instructor-led online classes for U.S. school students from kindergarten through 12th grade, following our grade-by-grade syllabus in subjects such as math, science, English Language Arts, coding, social studies, Hindi, and test and competition preparation. We also offer free demo sessions and downloadable curricula. Because our students are children, enrollment and account communication happen with a parent or legal guardian.

For the purpose of applicable data protection laws, the data controller responsible for your personal information is:

• Legal entity: Next Chanakya
• Registered address: A-103, Aishwaryam Courtyard, Pune-411062
• Email: hello@nextchanakya.com
• WhatsApp / phone: +91 9694-8-9-10-11

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to your enquiries and deliver our Services. This falls into two categories.

a) Information you give us directly

When you use a form on our Website, we collect the following:

Where you provide it	What we collect	Why
Contact form	Name, email address, subject, and your message	To respond to your enquiry
Book a Free Demo form	Full name, email address, phone number, and the syllabus you are interested in	To arrange your child's demo class and advise you on suitable classes
Newsletter subscription	Email address	To send you course updates and news, until you unsubscribe

b) Information collected automatically

Like most websites, when you visit us our servers and infrastructure providers may automatically record limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to keep the Website secure and working correctly.

We do not collect special categories of data (such as health, religion, or biometric data), and we ask that you do not submit such information through our forms.

3. How we use your information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to your enquiries and demo requests;
• Arrange and deliver demo sessions and course-related communication;
• Provide, operate, and improve our Services and Website;
• Send you newsletters and updates where you have subscribed (you can opt out at any time);
• Maintain the security and integrity of our Website; and
• Comply with our legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal effects about you.

4. Our lawful bases for processing

Where data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing your personal information, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent (for example, when you subscribe to our newsletter); the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering one (for example, responding to a demo request); and our legitimate interests in operating and promoting our training services, provided these do not override your rights.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Our Website uses a small number of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are used to keep the site secure and to protect our forms against cross-site request forgery, and are set by our web framework when you interact with the site. These are required for the Website to function.

Some pages load resources from third parties — for example web fonts and script libraries served from external content delivery networks. When your browser requests these resources, those providers may receive your IP address. We do not control how these third parties process that information; please refer to their own privacy policies.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the site, and how we can improve our website and services. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your use of our website. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential analytics or marketing cookies on your device. You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings. For more information about how Google processes information collected through Google Analytics, please refer to Google's applicable privacy documentation.

6. How we share your information

We share personal information only in limited circumstances:

• Service providers. With trusted providers who help us operate our Website and Services — for example hosting, email, and communication providers — who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
• Legal reasons. Where we are required to by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property, or those of others.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will take steps to protect your information.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

7. How long we keep your information

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to provide our Services, and to meet our legal obligations. Enquiry and demo-request records are retained for 36 months after our last interaction, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.

8. How we protect your information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, and access to stored enquiry data is limited to authorized personnel. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal information:

• To access the information we hold about you;
• To ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• To ask us to delete your information;
• To object to or restrict certain processing;
• To withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent; and
• To unsubscribe from our newsletter using the link in our emails, our unsubscribe page, or by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@nextchanakya.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10. Third-party links

Our Website may contain links to external websites that we do not operate. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

11. Children's privacy

Our classes are for school students, so children participate in our Services — but always with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. The forms on this Website (contact, demo booking, newsletter) are intended to be completed by a parent or guardian, not by the child. Any information about a student that we need in order to run a class (such as name and grade level) is provided to us by the parent or guardian, and we use it only to deliver the Services described in this policy.

Our website and services are intended to comply with applicable children's privacy laws. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without obtaining verifiable parental consent where required by applicable law. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the required parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information from our records. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy. We will review the request and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

12. International visitors

We operate online and may serve learners in multiple countries. If you access our Website from outside country where your data is processed, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country with different data protection laws. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
