Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analysing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Controlling Your Personal Information

You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:

• Whenever you are asked to fill in a form on the website, look for the box that you can click to indicate that you do not want the information to be used by anybody for direct marketing purposes.
• If you have previously agreed to use your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by writing to or emailing us at team@cqst.in.

Do Not Track

Presently, several browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, offer a "do not track" or "DNT" option that utilises a DNT header technology. This technology sends a signal to websites visited by the user, indicating the user's browser DNT preference setting. At this time, CodeQuotient School of Technology does not commit to specifically responding to browsers' DNT signals concerning the Company's websites. This decision is partly due to the absence of a universally accepted industry standard for DNT endorsed by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, including a consistent standard for interpreting user intent.

CodeQuotient School of Technology places significant importance on privacy and the ability to make informed choices. As such, we will actively monitor developments related to DNT browser technology and the establishment of an industry-wide standard.

Communications from the CodeQuotient School of Technology

Your email address may be utilised to send newsletters and/or marketing communications from CodeQuotient School of Technology. Should you prefer not to receive such communications, you have the option to opt-out by following the instructions provided in the emails.

There may be instances where we will send you essential announcements pertaining to the Service(s) when necessary. For example, in the event of temporary suspension of our Services for maintenance purposes, we may send you an email.

Please note that certain communications that are non-promotional in nature cannot be opted out of. However, if you wish to abstain from receiving such communications, you may choose to delete your account.

Privacy Assurance

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting if you tell us that you wish this to happen.

Kindly refrain from including any personal information, personally identifiable information, or sensitive personal information unless explicitly requested by CodeQuotient School of Technology as part of the registration or other relevant processes. Should CodeQuotient School of Technology find that any information you have provided or uploaded violates the terms of this policy, CodeQuotient School of Technology retains the right, at its sole discretion, to remove such information without assuming any liability.
