Privacy Policy

GNS Technologies ("we", "our", "us") operates https://gns-official-website.vercel.app (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your information when you visit our Website or enrol in our training programmes. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Website.

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

a) Information You Provide

• Name, email address and phone number when you submit an enquiry or demo request
• Educational background and course preferences provided in enrolment forms
• Resume / CV uploaded when applying for a job through our Careers page
• Payment details processed securely through Razorpay (we do not store card numbers)
• Messages and correspondence you send to us via contact forms or email

b) Automatically Collected Information

• IP address, browser type, operating system and referring URL
• Pages viewed, time spent and navigation paths on the Website (via Google Analytics)
• Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies (see Section 6)

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries, schedule demo sessions and process enrolments
• Send course updates, batch schedules and promotional communications (you may opt out at any time)
• Improve our Website, services and marketing effectiveness
• Process payments and issue certificates of completion
• Comply with applicable laws and prevent fraud
• Share relevant job opportunities with our placement partners on your behalf (with your consent)

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with:

• Service providers who assist in operating our Website (Cloudinary for media storage, SendGrid for email, Razorpay for payments) under strict confidentiality agreements
• Hiring partner companies — only your name, course completed and contact details, and only with your explicit consent during the placement process
• Law enforcement or regulatory authorities if required by law
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, database access controls and regular security audits to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes. Payment transactions are handled by Razorpay (PCI-DSS compliant) — we never see or store your full card details.

We use the following cookies and scripts:

• Essential cookies: required for the Website to function (session, CSRF protection)
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to understand usage patterns — both anonymise IP addresses
• Marketing pixels: Facebook Pixel for measuring ad performance
• Chat widget: Tidio live chat for customer support

You can control cookies through our Cookie Consent banner. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Website.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, typically:

• Enquiry / lead data: 3 years from the date of collection
• Student enrolment and certificate records: 7 years (for certificate verification purposes)
• Financial transaction records: 7 years (legal requirement under Indian accounting law)
• Job application data: 1 year from date of submission (or longer with your consent)

Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking 'Unsubscribe' in any email
• Withdraw consent for data processing where consent is the legal basis

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@gnstechnologies.in. We will respond within 30 days.

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Our Website and courses are intended for persons aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
