Erase

3. How to raise a request or complaint

  1. Contact our Grievance Officer (Section 1) by email, phone or in person at the school office.
  2. Tell us clearly what you would like — for example, "access", "correction", "erasure", "withdraw consent", or the nature of your complaint.
  3. We will acknowledge your request and tell you the next steps.

4. What to include

  • The student's full name, class/section and admission number (if known).
  • Your name and relationship to the student.
  • A clear description of your request or concern.
  • Your contact details for our reply.

5. Our response

We aim to acknowledge every request promptly and to resolve it within a reasonable time, and in any case within the timelines applicable under the DPDP Act and its Rules. If a request is complex or requires verification, we will keep you informed of progress.

6. Verifying your identity

To protect students' data, we may need to verify your identity and your relationship to the student before we act on a request. This is to make sure personal data is only disclosed to, or changed by, the right person.

7. If you are not satisfied — escalation

If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you have the right to escalate it to the Data Protection Board of India, the statutory body established under the DPDP Act. We will provide any information reasonably required to assist that process.

Good to know
Raising a complaint with us first is usually the quickest way to a resolution, and we genuinely want to put things right.
