Privacy Policy

1. About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application Maa Shakumbhari University Mobile App (“App”) handles information when users access university-related information through the App. The App is designed primarily as a mobile interface for content available on the Maa Shakumbhari University website at https://msuniversity.ac.in/.

2. Information Collected Directly by the App

The current version of the App does not require users to create an account, sign in, or submit personal information to use the App.

The App does not intentionally collect app-specific information such as:

• Name, email address, mobile number, or postal address;
• Passwords or login credentials;
• Precise location;
• Contacts, photos, videos, or audio;
• Financial or payment information; or
• User-generated messages or social content.

3. Website and Technical Information

Because the App displays online website content, requests are sent over the internet to the relevant website servers. As with normal web browsing, those servers or service providers may automatically receive limited technical information such as IP address, device/browser information, request time, referring information, cookies, or server log data.

Such website-level processing is performed by the relevant website or service provider and is not maintained by the App as a separate user profile or app-specific database.

4. How the App Uses Information

The App uses internet connectivity only as necessary to request, display, refresh, and open university website content and related online resources. The App does not sell personal information.

5. Cookies, Web Storage and Embedded Content

Website pages displayed inside the App may use standard web technologies such as cookies, local storage, embedded media, or similar technologies where required by the website. These technologies may be controlled by the website or by third-party services embedded or linked from the website.

6. External Websites and Third-Party Services

The App may display or open links to external services or websites, for example result portals, admission portals, documents, video services, or other university-related resources. These third parties operate independently and may have their own privacy policies and data practices.

Users should review the privacy policy of any external service they choose to access. This Privacy Policy applies only to the App itself.

7. App Permissions

The current App is intended to require internet access so that it can display online website content. It is not intended to request unnecessary access to personal or sensitive device information.

If a future version introduces additional permissions or features that handle personal or sensitive information, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

8. Data Sharing

The App does not intentionally share app-collected personal information with advertisers, data brokers, or other parties because the current version does not intentionally collect such information through app-specific functionality.

Network requests made while viewing website content may, however, be received by the website host or any third-party services used by the web pages being displayed.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

The App does not provide user accounts and does not maintain a separate app-specific database of personal user information. Therefore, there is no app-specific account data to retain or delete in the current version.

Website operators or third-party services may retain technical logs, cookies, or other information according to their own policies and legal obligations.

10. Security

Reasonable measures are used to provide access to website content through secure network connections where available. However, no internet transmission or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Children and Students

The App provides educational and university information and does not knowingly collect personal information from children through app-specific registration, profiles, messaging, or submission forms.

If a linked website or external service asks a user to provide information, the privacy practices of that website or service will apply.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the App’s functionality, permissions, data practices, or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be made available at the public privacy policy URL and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
