Privacy Policy

The policy relates to the Huiraj platform and all user data collected and managed through the platform to deliver Huiraj Services. If you use Huiraj Services (a “User”) this policy applies to you and you are bound by it. If you disagree you must stop using Huiraj Services and close your account.

1. Our commitment

Huiraj respects User’s rights regarding their privacy and information, taking great care with any personally identifying information. As an Indian-domiciled entity, the Huiraj platform is subject to the laws and regulations of India. Huiraj is committed to complying with its legal obligations in this regard, not just to data subjects (Users) in the Inida but to extend the same courtesy to all Huiraj Users worldwide.

2. Collection, processing, and storage of data

The Huiraj platform may collect and process personal data relating to past and present users and learners in the course of business. Huiraj collects data directly from the User input but also in automated ways such as through system logs, cookies, web beacons, and integration with third-party service providers. Processing of data includes: collecting; recording; storing; altering; disclosing; destroying; and blocking. This policy governs Huiraj’s approach to data and does not apply to any third-party organizations that may have integrated their systems into the Huiraj platform.

3. Personally-Identifying Information (PII)

Personally Identifying Information (PII) may be required to uniquely identify a User upon Registration (e.g. a personal email address) and other information may be required to complete purchases and receive certification if requested. You may also be invited to create a personal profile and resume (including date of birth, existing education, work experience, and career ambitions) and to generate or supply other personal information (such as completing personality, psychometric, and workplace assessments) to build out your profile to determine your suitability for different careers, job opportunities and to establish your own tailored learning pathway. You will have the option to share or unshare some or all of this information in your own public profile.

Personal data is stored within your User account on the platform and access is completely restricted via encrypted networks and access permissions in order to ensure the highest levels of confidentiality and protection. No personal data is available to download or remove from the platform by employees or third parties, and Huiraj ensures that only authorized personnel have online access to a User’s account data.

Users may decide to post comments on the Huiraj Blog or interact with other Users in a way that is public or widely available to Huiraj Users through postings, sharing, course reviews, direct communications, giving testimonials, uploading photos or commenting on different parts of the Huiraj platform (“Shared Content” or “Public Posting”). Huiraj will collect and store Public Postings and Shared Content which will become publicly available or viewable by others. When you share content or make a public posting you are consenting to grant Huiraj a non-exclusive right and license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, offer, market, and otherwise use and exploit the Public Postings and Shared Content.

However, Huiraj is not responsible for how other Users may use such publicly available information or otherwise accessible to others who have access to the Services. Users are expected to use their discretion when making such posts. In the event that a User is selected as “Learner of the Day” or “Learner of the Month”, the User agrees to allow Huiraj to publish their Registration Information (except for your email address), Profile Information, and Course Information as well as your response to the accolade for marketing purposes and/or via Huiraj Services.

4. Course information

After registration, a User can enroll in a course offered by Huiraj or its affiliated Publishers. Aggregated data on age, gender (where available), and country of origin is shared with affiliated Publishers relating to the Users enrolled in the courses they teach and is subject to a legal agreement between Huiraj and each individual Publisher. There is no way for a Publisher to access or derive User-level information from this aggregated information.

Huiraj processes certain data relevant to the publication and playback of course content by publishers and learners. Certain data is collected to ensure Users, publishers, and learner progress are uniquely identified and accurate records are maintained in order to deliver the Huiraj learning service and to comply with relevant legal obligations. This will include regular emails to keep Users informed of their progress and make various suggestions and recommendations. Patterns of usage behavior and course content evaluation are also collected and stored as metadata to help Huiraj and Publishers improve the services and offer the most appropriate content and courses to registered Users.

5. Third-party information processors and service providers

All User personal data is stored securely on third-party cloud-based electronic storage and safeguarded. User purchases of physical goods require a home delivery address to process orders. Huiraj uses payment processing and fulfillment partners who will receive sensitive PII to enable payment collection and when necessary, physical fulfillment. Highly sensitive data, such as credit card information and passwords are never received by Huiraj (e.g. when you allow third-party authentication via your social media sign-on, or by choosing third-party payment providers such as Paypal, PhonePay, Paytm, or GPay,, that isolate Huiraj from your payment details).

Recurring payment details are stored by a third-party payment provider that you choose and not by Huiraj. Although Huiraj allows Users to register with their social media single sign-on (such as Facebook, Google, Linked-in, etc.) the information available on these third-party platforms is governed by their terms and information sharing practices. Huiraj only takes necessary information from these social platforms (i.e. your name, email address, and country for legitimate purposes) and does NOT take any other personal or social information on your friends and contacts from these platforms.

Huiraj tests and operates a number of analytical tags, scripts, and tracking pixels (also known as web beacons) from third-party providers such as Google, Facebook, Bing, and Hotjar) to enable browser and mobile analytics that measure page views and sessions. This helps Huiraj understand User behaviors as the visit, navigate, and leave the Huiraj platform.

Huiraj provides free learning supported through advertising services managed by third parties. Huiraj both buys online ads and sells online ads through third-party providers (e.g. Google AdWords, Bing, Facebook Ads, and Google AdSense). Cookies and tracking pixels are used by advertising service providers as independent third-party data controllers to enable personalized advertising to the User based on intent, search history, and demographics built up by advertising service providers over time. Huiraj has no access to these third-party cookies or tracking technology nor any control over how third-party advertising service providers use the data they collect.

6. Technical data collection

As an internet-based service, web server log files are also collected and monitored for usage and behavior patterns over time. User device information and IP addresses are also collected to understand platform traffic flows and how each User interacts with Huiraj Services and to ensure the right balance of technical support, customer service resources, and device expertise is available to Users.

Huiraj also stores and uses cookie information (a piece of text saved on each User’s device) to help track unique user sessions, to personalize Huiraj Services for the User. Huiraj stores Preference, Security, Functional, and Session cookies to tailor the usage experience, securely automate User login, and enable purchase transactions. Huiraj uses web beacons to help monitor email communications with our registered Users to understand which messages are successfully delivered and read.

7. User consent and self-service control

By using Huiraj Services and directly inputting your information on the platform, you the User are consenting to the collection and use of your data by Huiraj. You have full access to your information through your user account and are responsible for ensuring that you keep your personal details up-to-date through the platform. You have the power to modify your personal data and the power to deactivate your account and request the removal of your personally identifiable information when you delete your account. You may modify your email client, and browser settings or use browser add-ons to control how cookies, beacons, and other third-party services work. Privacy settings are also provided on your mobile device operating system to give you more control over your data. Reducing the level of data shared and advertising options may reduce the quality of, or disable, some or all Huiraj services.

To understand and control how the digital advertising industry uses your data please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link. These help you to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, You can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Opting out means that your personal data is not used to personalize ads. Opting out does not mean you will not receive ads. Huiraj has neither affiliation nor control over these industry initiatives and how you use these tools is your own responsibility.

Huiraj recognizes the privacy interests of children. Parents and guardians need to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. Digital consent is generally not legally recognized for children under the age of 13, or under the age of 16 where such children reside in the European Economic Area. Parents and legal guardians should not allow their children defined as such to register, enroll, and learn on the Huiraj platform without full-time supervision. Huiraj reserves the right to delete any User account that we discover was created by a child unable to give digital consent. If a parent or guardian discovers that Huiraj has unlawfully collected personal information from a child please contact our data protection officers who will take all reasonable steps to delete such information promptly.

8. Retention of data

Huiraj is under a legal obligation to keep certain data for a specified period of time. Furthermore, Huiraj aggregates data and anonymizes User accounts that are deleted so that it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person. Such Other Information is used by Huiraj for other relevant business purposes for as long as necessary. This may include keeping Other Information after the User has deleted their account for whatever period of time needed for Huiraj to pursue its legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce commercial agreements.

9. Security and disclosure of data

The organization will take all reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to protect the confidentiality of electronically stored data. The platform is large and public and subject to regular attacks by hackers. The platform has been hardened extensively over time however no online system is perfect or immune from breach. Huiraj has appropriate security measures in place to protect against unauthorized access. Safeguards are applied to the processing and retention of data. These include:

Limitations on access to prevent unauthorized consultation, alteration, disclosure, or erasure of personal data.
Strict time limits for the erasure of personal data are in line with our retention policy.
Logging mechanisms permit verification of whether and by whom personal data has been consulted, altered, disclosed or erased.
Pseudonymisation, anonymisation and encryption.
The platform databases are not accessible directly by employees or software developers other than authorized DevOps administrators. Multi-factor authentication is required for all authorized DevOps administrators to ensure access to sensitive data is restricted to the maximum possible.
Security measures will be reviewed from time to time, having regard to the technology available, the cost, and the risk of unauthorized access.
