Privacy Policy

What information we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

Version 1.0 Effective 8 October 2026 QDesk Data Solution and Services

Scope

This policy covers the personal information we handle when you use this website, create an account, start a free month or buy a plan. The data your school enters into its own school portal belongs to your school: for that data your school is the Data Fiduciary and we act only on its instructions as a Data Processor under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

What we collect

  • Account details: your name, email address, password (stored only as a one-way hash) and, if you sign in with Google, your Google profile name and picture.
  • School and billing details: school name, city, mobile number, billing address and GSTIN.
  • Order and payment records: plan, amounts, invoices and payment references. Card and bank details are handled by the payment gateway and never reach us.
  • Website usage: pages visited, device and browser type and approximate referral source, used to improve the website.
  • Messages you send us through live chat, email, WhatsApp or the contact form.

How we use it

  • To create and run your account, your free month and your licence.
  • To bill you, issue GST invoices and meet our legal and tax obligations.
  • To provide support and send service messages such as activation, renewal and security notices.
  • To understand and improve how the website is used.

Who we share it with

Only service providers who help us run the service — such as the payment gateway, email delivery and hosting providers — and authorities where the law requires. We do not sell personal information.

How long we keep it

Account and order records are kept for as long as your account is active and afterwards for as long as tax and accounting law requires. Free-month data is deleted after the trial ends unless you subscribe or ask for an export.

Your rights

You may ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, and withdraw consent where processing relies on it, by writing to us at the contact details below. We will respond within the time the law requires.

Your school's data is your responsibility — please keep backups

Your institution is solely responsible for the data it enters into e-SchoolPortal.Net — students, staff, attendance, fees, results and everything else — and for keeping its own copies of that data.

Servers, data centres, hosting providers, internet connections, power supply, hardware and software can all fail, and data can be lost or corrupted through accidents, cyber-attacks, natural events and other mishaps — some within our control and many beyond it. To the maximum extent permitted by law, QDesk Data Solution and Services accepts no responsibility or liability for the loss, corruption or unavailability of your data, however it happens, and does not guarantee that any data can be restored, even where we have taken a backup of our own.

  • Take a full backup regularly — at least once a week — using the Full Backup feature in the software (School Management System → Tools → Full Backup), and keep the file somewhere safe outside the system.
  • Or subscribe to our data backup service, where it is offered for your plan.
  • Export again before major events: the start of a session, promotions, fee-structure changes, or a software update.
You are asked to confirm this separately when you start a free month and when you place an order, and it forms part of the Software Licence and Services Agreement (Clauses 9.2 to 9.5). Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be excluded by law.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — encrypted credentials, access controls and audit logs — to protect information. No system is completely secure, which is why the backups described above matter.

Questions about this policy

Ask us anything, any time — before your free month, during it, or after you subscribe.

This document states our commercial policy in plain language. The binding instrument between your institution and QDesk Data Solution and Servicesis the Software Licence and Services Agreement accepted at checkout, a copy of which is kept in your customer account. Where this document and that Agreement differ, the Agreement governs. Nothing here takes away any right conferred on you by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
