Under Section 16 of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and international cross-border transfer standards, we transfer personal data strictly under lawful conditions and to permissible jurisdictions.

International Transfer Safeguards & Compliance Protocols:

• Explicit & Informed Consent (DPDP Act § 6): All cross-border transmissions are executed solely upon your explicit written authorization when signing your Client Mandate Agreement or submitting an enrollment application.
• Purpose Limitation: Information transmitted overseas is restricted strictly to the categories required by the recipient university, testing council, or sovereign immigration authority.

5. Comprehensive Data Security & Storage Architecture

We deploy robust physical, managerial, and technological safeguards to defend your confidential files against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or interception:

Following the completion of your study abroad enrollment or immigration outcome, academic dossiers and financial records are scheduled for secure digital wiping and physical shredding in accordance with our institutional document disposal protocol, unless ongoing consultation or regulatory retention is explicitly required.
