Purusharth Vidhyaniketan (“the School”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) values the trust and support of donors who contribute towards the development of educational initiatives, infrastructure, student welfare programs, and other institutional activities. This policy explains how donor information is collected, used, protected, and how donation-related matters are handled.
1. Collection of Donor Information
When a donation is made through our website, bank transfer, cheque, or any authorized donation channel, we may collect information including:
- Donor name
- Contact number
- Email address
- Postal address (if provided)
- Donation amount
- Transaction details
- Any information voluntarily submitted by the donor
We collect only the information necessary to process donations, maintain records, and communicate with donors.
2. Use of Donor Information

- Processing donations and maintaining financial records
- Issuing acknowledgements or receipts
- Responding to donor inquiries
- Communicating updates regarding school initiatives, activities, and projects
- Complying with applicable legal, accounting, and regulatory requirements
We use donor information only for legitimate institutional purposes.
3. Confidentiality of Donor Information
Purusharth Vidhyaniketan respects the privacy of all donors.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or disclose donor information to third parties for advertising, marketing, or commercial purposes.
Information may only be shared when:
- Required by law or governmental authorities
- Necessary for processing payments through authorized payment service providers

4. Payment Security
Online donations are processed through secure payment gateways operated by third-party payment providers.
Purusharth Vidhyaniketan does not store complete debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI credentials on its servers.
While reasonable security measures are implemented, no electronic transmission or online platform can guarantee absolute security.
5. Donation Receipts
Receipts may be issued for donations where applicable and subject to the information provided by the donor.
Donors are responsible for ensuring that the information submitted during the donation process is accurate and complete.
6. Use of Donations
All donations received by Purusharth Vidhyaniketan shall be utilized at the discretion of the institution for educational, infrastructural, student development, welfare, operational, or related institutional purposes.
Where a donation is made for a specific initiative, the School will make reasonable efforts to apply the contribution toward that purpose. However, if the designated purpose is no longer feasible or practical, the School reserves the right to allocate the funds toward similar educational objectives.
7. Donation Refund Policy
Donations made to Purusharth Vidhyaniketan are generally voluntary and non-refundable.
Refund requests may be considered only in exceptional circumstances, including:
- Duplicate transactions
- Technical payment errors
- Unauthorized transactions reported by the donor
Any refund request must be submitted in writing within 7 days of the transaction date and should include relevant transaction details.
The School reserves the right to review each request individually and determine eligibility for a refund.
Approved refunds will be processed through the original payment method wherever possible.
8. Retention of Information
Donation records and related information may be retained for as long as necessary to satisfy legal, accounting, auditing, administrative, or regulatory obligations.
