Your data deserves clarity.

ClarityBegins provides career direction tools and mentorship experiences for students, mentors, schools, and families. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal data when you use our website and services.

Contact and profile details: name, email address, phone number, education or professional context, and any information you choose to submit through forms.

Survey and assessment data: responses you provide in student surveys and career-direction flows, including derived profile outputs shown to you.

Application and partnership details: information submitted through student, mentor, school, and contact forms.

Basic technical interaction data stored in your browser: local/session storage entries used for saved progress and product UI behavior (for example, assessment progress and modal-display controls).

Directly from you when you fill forms, request demos, join waitlists, or use career-direction tools.

From browser-side interactions needed to run the product experience (for example, remembering your in-progress assessment).

From third-party tools you choose to use via our links or workflows, such as scheduling and communication platforms.

To provide and improve ClarityBegins services, including assessment experiences, mentorship matching, and school-partnership workflows.

To contact you about your request, application, session, partnership inquiry, or relevant service updates.

To operate and maintain quality, security, reliability, and fraud-prevention controls.

To generate aggregated, non-identifying insights that help improve programme quality and outcomes.

We process personal data primarily on the basis of your consent, and where needed to perform requested services or legitimate operational purposes.

Where applicable, we align handling with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India) and similar privacy principles: purpose limitation, data minimization, and secure handling.

We use external service providers to deliver parts of our workflow. Depending on the service used, this may include: Google Workspace tools (such as Google Sheets / Apps Script), Calendly, Google Meet, Fireflies, email providers, and WhatsApp Business APIs for inquiry handling where enabled.

These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies. We only share the minimum information needed to deliver the requested workflow.

We do not sell personal data.

We may share data with service providers acting on our behalf, when required to deliver requested services.

We may disclose data if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and platform integrity.

For school contexts, individual student-level information is shared only as described in programme terms and consent flows.

Because many users are students, we design workflows to limit unnecessary data collection.

Where school programmes are involved, we expect schools and guardians to follow applicable consent and safeguarding requirements.

If you believe a minor's data was submitted improperly, contact us and we will review and take appropriate action.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, legal obligations, dispute handling, and operational continuity.

Retention windows may differ by submission type (for example, contact inquiries vs. programme records).

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal data.

No internet-based system can be guaranteed 100% secure; if we identify a material risk, we will act promptly and, where required, notify affected parties.

ClarityBegins is remote-first and may use providers that process data in multiple countries. By using the service, you understand that data may be processed outside your location, subject to applicable safeguards.

You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you, subject to applicable law.

You may withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the basis.

You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services evolve. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
