Privacy Policy

We collect personal information in three primary ways: directly from you when you interact with us, automatically when you use our website, and occasionally from third-party sources where relevant.

When you submit an application, complete the enrollment process, or contact us for any reason, we collect the following information:

• •Your full name and contact details, including email address and phone number
• •Your city or state of residence, to understand the geographic reach of our program and to facilitate placement support where applicable
• •Details about your educational background and professional experience, which help us understand your current skill level and personalise your learning journey
• •Your career goals and motivations for joining the program, which guide how we support your growth
• •At the time of payment, billing details such as your name and GST information for invoicing purposes

We want to be clear that full payment card numbers or bank account details are never stored by Grito. These transactions are handled entirely by Razorpay, our payment gateway partner, which operates under its own security and compliance standards. We receive only a confirmation of successful payment.

When you visit our website, certain technical information is collected automatically by our servers and analytics tools. This may include your IP address, the type of browser and device you are using, the specific pages you visit on our site, how long you spend on each page, and how you navigated to our site.

We may also receive information about you through third-party platforms such as LinkedIn or Instagram if you engage with our content, click on our advertisements, or submit an application through those channels.

We use the information we collect in ways that are directly related to delivering a high-quality educational experience and supporting you throughout your journey with Grito. Specifically, we use your information for the following purposes:

• •To process your application and enrollment, verify eligibility, and set up your access to program resources
• •To communicate with you throughout the program, including onboarding instructions, session schedules, evaluation results, feedback, and placement-related updates
• •To personalise your learning experience — for example, by tracking your progress, tailoring feedback, and ensuring that the support you receive aligns with your goals
• •To improve our curriculum and teaching methods based on aggregated learner performance and feedback
• •To send you occasional updates about new programs, events, or resources offered by Grito, where you have given us your consent to do so, or where we have a legitimate interest in keeping you informed

We take the principle of purpose limitation seriously. We will never use your personal information for any purpose that is inconsistent with what is described in this Policy without first obtaining your explicit consent.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any of our emails or by writing to us at [email protected].

Grito does not sell your personal information to any third party, and we never will. Your data is not a commodity.

Limited and specific circumstances in which we may share your information:

• •With service providers and technology partners who help us operate the program (Razorpay, LMS, communication tools).
• •With instructors and mentors within the program to provide effective academic and career support.
• •With hiring partners and employers strictly for facilitating placement opportunities, only with your explicit informed consent.
• •With government authorities or law enforcement where legally required under applicable Indian law.

We retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Policy, or as required by law. In practice, this means:

• • Retained for the full duration of your enrollment in the program.
• • Retained during the placement support period (up to one year after completion).
• • Financial records retained for tax and audit purposes as legally required.

If you wish to request the earlier deletion of your data, you are entitled to do so by writing to us at [email protected].

Grito is committed to keeping your personal information safe. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures including industry-standard encryption protocols and strict access controls.

Despite these measures, we acknowledge that no method of data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. In the unlikely event of a significant data breach, we will notify you and relevant authorities promptly.

Grito uses essential, analytics, and marketing cookies to enhance your experience and gather usage information. We never store personally identifiable information within cookies.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality.

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, withdrawal of consent, and objection regarding your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
