Privacy Policy
Review the systematic protocols established by the Council to securely manage, authenticate, and protect candidate credentials, institutional registration data, and vocational records.
Data Protection Charter
Our baseline pledge towards maintaining strict information safety.
The **NSQF Council** operates as an independent, self-governing certification registry and assessment authority. In facilitating standardized course alignments, conducting objective student assessments, and issuing outcome-based qualifications, we collect, process, and record standard personal and technical data from candidates and affiliated training partners.
We are firmly committed to preserving the integrity, confidentiality, and security of all collected data. This Privacy Policy documents the authorized methodologies under which we manage information to protect candidate privacy while delivering robust verify-checks for professional and employment mobility.
Information We Collect
Categorized metrics collected for certification mapping and records.
To register institutions, align localized curricula, and list certified candidates within our independent registry, we collect specific information parameters including:
- Institutional Metrics: Registered trust/society deeds, office address proof, coordinator details, and training infrastructure profiles submitted during affiliate center onboarding.
- Candidate Personal Identifiers: Name, parentage, date of birth, contact number, and passport-size photograph supplied during examination and evaluation registrations.
- Academic & Vocational Track Record: Prior education credentials, standard job role choices, on-the-job training (OJT) logs, assessment scorecards, and accumulated credits.
- Digital Analytics Data: IP address, device specifications, browser type, and duration logs recorded securely when accessing this online informational portal.
Purpose and Usage of Data
How the Council utilizes collected metrics to validate skill profiles.
Collected datasets are processed strictly under authorized administrative bounds to accomplish the following outcomes:
- To verify candidate eligibility and process standard evaluation registrations.
- To formulate outcome-based grades, issue standardized Council certificates, and map earned credits against the National Credit Framework parameters.
- To provide authentic third-party verification services for employers, allowing them to verify candidate certification status.
- To manage and support affiliated training center operations, circular updates, and examination logistics.
- To analyze web traffic and optimize portal responsiveness, securing a smooth browser experience.
Information Security Standards
Advanced protective controls safeguarding student database files.
The Council implements advanced technical, logical, and physical security measures to safeguard candidate and training partner files from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure:
Our web servers are equipped with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption protocols, ensuring that all online communication and registration activities remain secure. Database access is strictly controlled via multi-layered authentication barriers, granting clearance only to verified administrative operators.
Candidate Registry Validation
Student certifications, credits, and verification indices are listed securely within our registry database. This ensures that candidates can securely present their credentials to prospective employers for verification without compromising their contact numbers or other personal details.
Disclosure & Information Sharing
Statutory restrictions regarding third-party transmission of metrics.
The Council maintains a strict data confidentiality protocol. Under no circumstances is personal or training partner data sold, traded, or leased to commercial advertising agencies or third-party organizations.
Data transmission is executed exclusively under these strict conditions:
- Verification Inquiries: Candidate certification details are shared when queried directly by verified employers or educational institutions for background check purposes.
- Regulatory Mandates: Records may be disclosed when required by law, court orders, or statutory legal proceedings.
- Affiliated Center Logs: Student details are shared with the candidate's respective affiliated training center to coordinate training operations and assessment schedules.
