4. Third-Party Payment Gateway Integration (Razorpay)

All online financial transactions on thedatapilot.in are routed through our authorized payment partner, Razorpay Software Private Limited ("Razorpay").

• When you make a payment, your payment details (cards, netbanking credentials, UPI handles) are encrypted and handled directly by Razorpay under strict PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) Level 1 compliance.
• The Data Pilot receives only transaction status updates, amounts, and unique transaction reference codes to confirm your admission.

5. Data Protection, Security & No-Sale Guarantee

We deploy robust SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption for all data transmissions.

We retain student records for the duration of the course enrollment and career support lifecycle, or as required by law for financial accounting records. You have the right to request access to your personal data, seek corrections to inaccurate contact information, or request account data erasure by writing to our compliance team.
