B Bharat Alumni

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

This policy explains what information Bharat Alumni ("we", "us") collects when you use bharatalumni.org, why we collect it, and who can see it. We built this platform on a simple principle: nothing about you is shared with other alumni beyond what you explicitly choose to make visible.

1. Information we collect

  • Account details: name, email address, password (stored hashed, never in plain text), and mobile number.
  • Alumni profile: your education records (institute, degree, years), professional info (employer, designation, industry), skills, interests, networking preferences, city/state, and an optional bio.
  • Blood donor details, only if you opt in: blood group, availability, and — only with your separate consent — your approximate location, used to match you with nearby blood requests.
  • Payment information: when you upgrade to a paid plan, payment is processed directly by Razorpay; we store only the plan, amount, and a payment reference — we never see or store your card, UPI, or bank details.
  • Usage data: standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and debugging.

2. How we use it

To operate the directory, chapters, blood-donor matching, jobs, mentorship, events, and billing features you sign up for; to send transactional notifications (e.g. a blood-request match, a referral commission update); and to keep the platform secure.

3. Who can see your information

Your directory listing (name, education, professional info) is visible to other signed-in alumni by default. Your phone number has its own visibility setting — Everyone, Alumni only, or Hidden — which you control from your profile at any time. Your exact location is never shared; only your city is shown, and blood-donor location matching happens without exposing your coordinates to other members.

4. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in and to remember a referral code if you arrived via a referral link. See our Cookie Policy for details.

5. Data retention

We keep your account and profile data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

6. Your rights

You can edit or remove most of your profile information yourself at any time from your account. To request a copy of your data, ask a correction, or ask for full account deletion, use the contact page.

7. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.

This page is provided as a general template and does not constitute legal advice. We recommend having it reviewed by qualified legal counsel before relying on it.
