Frequently asked questions
Can we post toppers’ photos on Instagram?
Only with the documented consent of the student’s parent (for under-18s) for that specific purpose, and they must be able to withdraw it.
Does DPDP apply to tuition teachers?
Yes, if they hold students’ or parents’ personal data digitally, for example in WhatsApp, Excel or an app.
