Privacy Policy | College Path

Last updated: 2 July 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how College Path ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at mycollegepath.in, collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our admission-guidance platform.

2. Information we collect

Category	Examples
Identity & contact	Name, mobile number, email address, WhatsApp number
Academic details	12th marks / cut-off marks, community/category, district preference, exam rank (TNEA/NEET)
Account data	Login credentials (via Firebase Authentication), plan/subscription status
Payment data	Transaction ID, plan purchased, amount (card/UPI details are handled directly by Razorpay and never stored by us)
Usage data	Pages visited, searches performed, device/browser type, IP address

3. How we use your information

To calculate cutoff-based college suggestions and rank predictions relevant to you.
To provide counselling guidance via call, SMS, or WhatsApp.
To process payments and activate paid plan features.
To send admission updates, round notifications, and service-related communication.
To improve our tools, fix bugs, and prevent misuse of the platform.

4. How we store your data

Your account and academic data are stored securely using Google Firebase (Authentication and Firestore database) — the same shared Firebase project also used by our sister platform College Connect, which applies industry-standard encryption and access controls. Access to your data within our team is limited to what is necessary to provide counselling support.

5. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share limited data with:

Razorpay — to process your payment securely.
Google Firebase — for authentication, database, and hosting infrastructure.
Government/official counselling authorities — only if you explicitly ask us to assist with an application on your behalf.
Law enforcement or regulators, where required by law.

6. WhatsApp & communication consent

By submitting your mobile number, you consent to receiving admission updates, cutoff alerts, and counselling messages via WhatsApp, SMS, or phone call. You may opt out of promotional messages at any time by contacting us.

7. Cookies & tracking

We may use cookies or local storage to keep you logged in and remember your preferences (e.g. selected district/category filters). We do not use this data for third-party advertising.

8. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide counselling support for the relevant admission cycle. You may request deletion of your account and data at any time (see Section 10).

9. Children's privacy

Our service is used by students (typically 17+) generally with parental involvement for admission decisions. We do not knowingly collect data from children without a parent/guardian's awareness, given the nature of the college-admission process.

10. Your rights

You can request to access, correct, or delete your personal data held by us by writing to info@mycollegepath.in. We will respond within a reasonable time.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please keep your login credentials confidential.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
