Privacy Policy

Favuni Global is an overseas education consultancy that guides students through university selection, applications, admissions and visa preparation. To deliver that guidance we necessarily handle personal and academic information about the students and families who work with us.

This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who it may be shared with, and the choices you have at every stage. It applies to our website, our counselling services, our application support and any communication you exchange with our team.

We collect only what we genuinely need to counsel you and to submit accurate applications on your behalf. Information reaches us directly from you, from your parent or guardian, or automatically when you browse our website.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review by a counsellor.

Cookies help our website function correctly and let us understand which content students find useful. You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

• Essential cookies keep the site secure and remember basic session preferences. The website cannot operate reliably without them.
• Preference cookies remember choices such as your selected destination country or language so you do not repeat them.
• Analytics cookies measure page visits and navigation patterns in aggregate to guide content improvements.
• Marketing cookies, where used, help us show relevant study-abroad information and are set only with your consent.

Some parts of the admission journey cannot be completed without sharing information with trusted third parties. We share the minimum necessary, and only for the purpose described.

We apply organisational and technical safeguards proportionate to the sensitivity of student records, and we review them as our services grow.

• Encrypted connections for data transmitted between your device and our website.
• Role-based access, so counsellors see only the records relevant to the students they support.
• Secure storage of documents with restricted internal permissions and periodic access reviews.
• Staff confidentiality obligations and practical training on handling student information.
• Prompt investigation of any suspected incident, with notification where the law requires it.

We retain your information only for as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for, or for as long as a legal, accounting or regulatory obligation requires.

• Active application records are kept while your application is in progress and through the intake you are admitted to.
• Enquiry records from prospective students are retained for a limited period so that a counsellor can resume the conversation.
• Financial and transaction records are retained for the period prescribed by applicable accounting and tax rules.
• Marketing preferences are retained until you withdraw consent, plus a short record of the withdrawal itself.

When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

To exercise any of these rights, write to us using the contact details below. We may ask for proof of identity before acting, and we aim to respond within a reasonable period.

Our services are intended for students aged 18 and above. Where an applicant is a minor, we require a parent or legal guardian to be involved in the counselling relationship and to provide consent for the processing of that applicant's information.

If we learn that we have collected information from a minor without appropriate guardian consent, we will delete it promptly on becoming aware.

Studying abroad inherently involves cross-border processing. Your documents may be transferred to universities, visa authorities and service providers located outside India, including in countries whose data protection frameworks differ from your own.

Where we transfer information internationally, we do so for the purpose of progressing your application and take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it confidentially and lawfully.

Our website may link to university pages, scholarship portals, government immigration sites and other resources. Those websites are operated independently and are governed by their own privacy policies.

We are not responsible for the content or data practices of external sites. We recommend reviewing their policies before submitting any personal information.

With your consent, we may send scholarship alerts, intake deadline reminders, webinar invitations and destination guides that are relevant to your study plans.

• Every marketing email includes a clear unsubscribe option.
• You may reply to any message, or write to us directly, to opt out of calls and messages.
• Opting out of marketing does not stop essential service messages about your live application.

We may revise this policy to reflect changes in our services, technology or legal obligations. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated 'Last Updated' date.

Where a change materially affects how we handle your information, we will take reasonable steps to notify you directly. Continued use of our services after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
