At F1 Macro Technologies, your privacy matters to us. We are committed to protecting your personal information and handling it responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you enroll in our courses, visit our website (www.f1mtech.com) (www.f1mtech.com), or interact with us. By using our services or providing your information, you agree to the practices described here.

We follow India's Data Protection laws and best global standards to keep your data safe. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us anytime.        

1. What Personal Information Do We Collect?       

We collect only the information we need to provide our IT training services and improve your experience. This includes:

• Basic Contact Details: Name, email address, phone number, and address (city/state) – collected during enrollment or enquiry forms.
• Academic & Professional Info: Educational background, course preferences, resume/CV (for placement assistance).
• Payment Details: Bank account or UPI info (handled securely via third-party gateways like Razorpay; we don't store card numbers).
• Attendance & Performance Data: Class attendance, assignment scores, project submissions (for certificate issuance).
• Website Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent (via cookies – see Section 6).
• Communication Records: Emails, WhatsApp chats, or call logs related to your queries or support.

We collect this data directly from you (forms, calls, emails) or automatically (website analytics). We do not collect sensitive info like Aadhaar, PAN, or health details unless required for scholarships/internships (with your consent).

2. How Do We Use Your Information?          

We use your data only for legitimate purposes related to your education and career:

• Enrollment & Course Delivery: To process admissions, schedule classes, send reminders, and track progress.
• Placement & Internship Support: To match you with job opportunities, share your resume with partner companies, and provide career counseling.
• Communication: To send course updates, newsletters, promotional offers (you can opt-out anytime).
• Improvement: To analyze trends (e.g., popular courses) and enhance our services without identifying individuals.
• Legal Compliance: To meet government requirements like GST invoicing or attendance records.

We never use your data for unrelated purposes, like selling it to marketers.         

3. Do We Share Your Information?     

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with anyone for profit. Sharing happens only when necessary:

• With Our Team: Internal staff (trainers, placement cell) access data on a need-to-know basis.
• Service Providers: Trusted partners like payment gateways (Razorpay), email tools (Google Workspace), or cloud storage (AWS) – all bound by strict contracts.
• Placement Partners: Resume and contact details shared only with your consent for job/internship opportunities (e.g., TCS, HCL recruiters).
• Legal Reasons: If required by law, court order, or to protect our rights (e.g., fraud prevention).

In case of a business merger or sale, your data may transfer to the new owner, but we'll notify you first.   

4. How Do We Keep Your Data Secure?        

Security is our top priority.         

We use:

• Encryption for data in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest.
• Access controls (passwords, role-based permissions) to limit who sees your info.
• Regular security audits and updates to prevent breaches.
• Firewalls and antivirus on our systems and website.

If a data breach occurs, we'll notify affected users and authorities within 72 hours, as per law. However, no system is 100% secure, so we advise you to use strong passwords and not share login details.     

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Data?

• Active Students: Until course completion + 2 years for placement support.
• Alumni: Basic contact info kept indefinitely for career updates (you can request deletion).
• Enquiries: Deleted after 6 months if no enrollment.
• Legal Records: As required by law (e.g., 7 years for financial data).

Once no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymized.     

6. Cookies and Website Tracking        

Our website uses cookies (small files) to improve your experience:

• Essential Cookies: For login, form submissions (always on).
• Analytics Cookies: To track visits (via Google Analytics – anonymized data).
• Marketing Cookies: For personalized ads (you can opt-out via browser settings).

You can manage cookies in your browser (e.g., Chrome settings). Disabling them may limit site features. We don't track across other sites.

7. Your Rights Regarding Your Data   

As per Indian data protection rules, you have the right to:

• Access: Ask for a copy of your data (free once a year).
• Correction: Update inaccurate info (e.g., wrong phone number).
