Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Shiksha Nerd ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you when you visit shikshanerd.com (the "Site") or use our education counselling services. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways:
- Information you give us — when you fill out an enquiry or counselling form, we collect your name, phone number, email address, the program you are interested in, your education level, city, and any message you choose to share.
- Information collected automatically — like most websites, we automatically receive your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs through cookies and analytics tools.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your enquiry and provide free admission and career counselling.
- To match you with suitable colleges and programs based on the details you share.
- To improve our website, content, and services.
- To send you relevant updates about admissions (only where you have requested contact). We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies to understand how visitors use the Site, remember preferences, and measure the performance of our content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function as intended.
Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand site usage. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site and what pages they view. We use this information only to improve our content and services. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with our in-house counsellors to serve your enquiry, and with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting and analytics), under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Data Security & Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorised access. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide counselling and meet legal obligations.
Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for prospective students aged 16 and above and their guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing us. You may also ask us to stop contacting you.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
