Privacy Policy

In the modern world, where we use Information Communication Technology tools for information sharing and communication, the protection of privacy interests becomes more difficult. We use these tools to share knowledge and to collaborate within our academic community. Though they offer speed and convenience, these tools are never completely secure. Computer systems and communication systems are prone to misuse and hacking by outsiders and cyber criminals.

KES Shroff College is committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and accuracy of personally identifiable information in accordance with Indian law. KES Shroff College intends to take every required measure to ensure privacy and security with respect to its operations.
