Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Visiting this website generally does not require you to reveal your identity or any personal information. We may, however, collect:

• Standard technical/log data (browser type, pages visited, time of visit) for security and site-improvement purposes.
• Information you voluntarily submit through a form on this website — for example, an admission enquiry, a job application, or a contact message.

How information is used

Personal information submitted through a form is used only for the purpose for which it was collected (for example, to process an application or respond to an enquiry) and is not used for any other purpose without your consent.

Cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as language) and, where enabled, to gather anonymized analytics. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies; doing so may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from browsing the website.

Sharing of information

Banaras Hindu University does not sell, rent, or trade personal information collected through this website. Information may be shared with the specific academic or administrative unit relevant to your enquiry, or disclosed where required by applicable law.

Data security

This website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information submitted to it from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Your rights

You may request details of the personal information Banaras Hindu University holds about you, or request correction or deletion of it, subject to applicable law (including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), by contacting us via the Contact Us page.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in practice or legal requirements. The date of the most recent revision will be reflected on this page.
