Where consent is required under applicable law, the School will seek appropriate consent before processing personal information for the relevant purpose.

Withdrawal of consent will not affect processing lawfully undertaken before such withdrawal.

Online payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Cashfree Payments, issuing banks, acquiring banks, card networks, UPI systems and other authorised financial-service providers.
These providers may independently process payment and transaction information in accordance with applicable law and their respective privacy policies.
Cashfree describes the payment information it may process as including payment-gateway identifiers, merchant details, transaction amount, payment mode, transaction status and related information.
