Privacy Policy

Yolotripz ("we", "us", or "our") is a study abroad consultancy based in Moodbidri, Karnataka, India. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect the personal information of prospective students, parents, and visitors ("you") who interact with us through our website, our advertisements on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram), and our enquiry forms.

By submitting your information to us, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We collect only the information needed to respond to your enquiry and support your study abroad journey. This may include:

• Name
• Phone number / WhatsApp number
• Email address
• Preferred study destination or course of interest
• Any other details you choose to share in an enquiry form or message

We collect this information when you:

• Fill out a lead form on our Facebook or Instagram advertisements
• Submit an enquiry form on our website or landing pages
• Contact us directly by phone, email, WhatsApp, or in person

We do not collect sensitive documents (such as passports, financial statements, or academic records) through our website or ad forms. Where such documents are needed later in the application process, we collect them separately, with your explicit consent.

We use your information solely to:

• Contact you to begin our free counselling process
• Understand your study abroad goals and suggest suitable options
• Share application-related updates, timelines, and information
• Answer your questions and provide ongoing support throughout your journey

We do not use your information for unrelated marketing, and we do not sell or rent it to any third party.

We share your information only where it is necessary to deliver the service you have asked for:

• With universities, colleges, and our education processing partners — strictly to progress your application, and only after you decide to apply and are aware of it.
• With service providers who help us operate — for example, Meta (for lead forms) and Google (for secure data storage). These providers are permitted to use your data only to provide services to us.
• Where required by law — for example, to comply with a legal obligation or a valid request from an authority.

We never share, sell, or disclose your information to third parties for their own marketing.

We process your personal data based on the consent you give when you submit an enquiry, in accordance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). You may withdraw your consent at any time (see "Your Rights" below).

We retain your information only for as long as needed to support your enquiry and application, or as required by law. If you decide not to proceed and ask us to delete your data, we will do so, subject to any legal retention requirements.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or outdated data
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• Raise a grievance about how your data is handled

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

Our website and advertisements may use cookies and analytics tools (such as the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics) to measure the performance of our ads and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings, or update your preferences on this site at any time.

Our services are intended for individuals aged 18 and above. If a prospective student is below 18, we require verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian before processing their personal data, in line with the DPDP Act, 2023.

Our website and advertisements may contain links to third-party websites, such as university or partner pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on our website, with the "Last updated" date shown at the top.
