At ICSEIndia.in, we respect the privacy of our visitors and understand the importance of handling personal information responsibly.

ICSEIndia.in is not the official website of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CISCE.

This information is generally used to understand how visitors use the website, maintain website security, diagnose technical problems and improve the overall user experience.

We do not intend to use technical information to personally identify individual visitors unless necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance or protection of the website.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

ICSEIndia.in may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, analyse website usage, improve performance and, where applicable, support advertising or other third-party services.

A cookie is a small data file stored on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies may include:

Essential Cookies

These cookies may be necessary for basic website functionality, security, session management or technical operation.

Preference Cookies

These may remember certain choices or settings to improve your experience when you return to the website.

Analytics Cookies

If analytics tools are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors reach and use the website.

Advertising Cookies

If advertising services are used on ICSEIndia.in, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable consent requirements.

You can usually control or delete cookies through your web browser settings.

Disabling some cookies may affect certain website features or functionality.

5. Analytics Services

ICSEIndia.in may use website analytics services to better understand website traffic and visitor behaviour.

Analytics information may help us understand matters such as:

  • which pages receive the most visits;
  • how visitors arrive at the website;
  • which devices or browsers are commonly used;
  • how visitors move between pages; and
  • whether users encounter technical problems.

Where third-party analytics providers are used, those providers may process certain technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Where consent is legally required for particular analytics technologies, we aim to obtain the appropriate consent before using them.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Advertising Services

ICSEIndia.in may display advertisements or use third-party advertising services.

If advertising services are enabled, advertising partners may use cookies, browser information or similar technologies to provide, measure or personalise advertisements, subject to applicable laws and consent requirements.

Third-party advertising providers operate under their own privacy policies and data-processing practices.

ICSEIndia.in does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party advertising networks.

Where required, visitors should be given appropriate options to manage advertising or cookie preferences.

7. Third-Party Services

To operate the website efficiently, we may use third-party service providers for purposes such as:

  • website hosting;
  • content delivery;
  • security;
  • spam prevention;
  • analytics;
  • advertising;
  • website performance monitoring;
  • email delivery; and
  • other technical services.

These providers may process limited information where necessary to deliver their services.

We expect third-party providers handling personal information on our behalf to use information only for legitimate purposes and subject to applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.

8. External Links

ICSEIndia.in may contain links to other websites, including educational institutions, government websites, CISCE resources, news sources or other third-party websites.

External websites operate independently from ICSEIndia.in.

Once you leave our website, the collection and use of your information are governed by the privacy policies and terms of the external website you visit.

We encourage users to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

The presence of an external link on ICSEIndia.in does not automatically mean that we control, operate or endorse that website.

9. Links to CISCE and Official Educational Resources

Some pages on ICSEIndia.in may link visitors to resources published by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) or other educational authorities.

Such links are provided to help visitors access relevant information or verify important examination-related details.

CISCE and other external organisations maintain their own websites, privacy practices and terms.

ICSEIndia.in does not control information collected directly by those websites.

10. Privacy of Children and Students

Many visitors to ICSEIndia.in may be school students, including individuals under the age of 18.

Our website is primarily intended to provide educational information and academic resources, and we do not encourage children to disclose unnecessary personal information.

Students should avoid submitting information such as:

  • Aadhaar numbers;
  • passport information;
  • banking details;
  • passwords;
  • complete examination credentials;
  • private school records;
  • medical information; or
  • other sensitive personal information

through general contact forms, comments or unsolicited messages.

Where personal data of a child is processed in circumstances requiring parental or guardian consent under applicable law, the appropriate consent requirements should be followed.

Parents and guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information unnecessarily may contact us and request that the information be reviewed or deleted where appropriate.

11. Examination Credentials and Result Information

ICSEIndia.in does not encourage users to send examination passwords, login credentials or other confidential authentication information to us.

If our website provides links or guidance relating to ICSE Results, users may be redirected to an external or official results service.

Any information entered directly on an external results website is governed by that service’s privacy practices.

Never send your password, OTP or confidential login information to ICSEIndia.in through email or contact forms.

12. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where retention is required for:

  • responding to an enquiry;
  • maintaining records;
  • preventing fraud or abuse;
  • resolving disputes;
  • protecting website security; or
  • complying with applicable legal obligations.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law and operational requirements.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information associated with the website against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no internet-based website, communication service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Visitors should therefore use reasonable care when submitting information online and should avoid sending confidential or sensitive information unless necessary.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the law applicable to you and the circumstances in which your personal data is processed, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include rights to:

  • request information about personal data being processed;
  • request correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • request completion or updating of certain information;
  • request erasure of personal information where applicable;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • raise a grievance relating to the processing of personal data; and
  • exercise other rights available under applicable data-protection law.

Certain rights may be subject to legal exceptions or verification requirements.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us through the Contact Us page of ICSEIndia.in.

We may need sufficient information to verify the request and identify the relevant data.

15. Withdrawal of Consent

Where personal information is processed on the basis of your consent, you may request to withdraw that consent.

Withdrawal of consent will not normally affect processing that was lawful before the withdrawal.

Certain information may still be retained or processed where required or permitted by applicable law.

16. Data Protection and Applicable Indian Law

ICSEIndia.in aims to handle personal information in accordance with applicable Indian privacy and data-protection requirements.

Relevant legal requirements may include the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the applicable provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, and other applicable Indian laws or regulations as they come into force or are amended.

Because privacy laws and their implementation requirements may change, this Privacy Policy may be updated when necessary.

17. Visitors from Outside India

ICSEIndia.in can be accessed from countries outside India.

If you access the website from another country, your information may be processed in a jurisdiction different from the country in which you live.

Depending on your location, additional privacy rights may apply under local law.

Where legally required, we aim to respect applicable privacy and data-protection obligations relating to users from those jurisdictions.

18. Do We Sell Personal Information?

ICSEIndia.in does not intend to operate as a business that sells personal information provided through ordinary website enquiries.

Information may, however, be processed by service providers that assist in operating the website, subject to their applicable roles, agreements and privacy practices.

If our data practices materially change in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated accordingly.

19. Legal Disclosure of Information

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • comply with applicable law or a valid legal process;
  • respond to a lawful request from an authorised government or regulatory authority;
  • investigate suspected fraud, abuse or security incidents;
  • protect the rights, property or security of ICSEIndia.in or its users; or
  • establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

We do not intend to disclose personal information merely because a third party asks for it without an appropriate legal or legitimate basis.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • changes to website functionality;
  • new services or technologies;
  • changes to cookies or analytics tools;
  • changes to advertising services;
  • changes in our information-handling practices; or
  • changes in applicable laws or regulatory requirements.

When this Privacy Policy is updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page should also be revised.

Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically.

Please provide enough information for us to understand and respond to your request, but do not include passwords, OTPs, banking information or other unnecessary confidential information.
