It's not just student names — you hold family secrets too.
You run a coaching class or training centre. You think you only store student names and marks. But look again. You have parents' phone numbers, Aadhaar copies, fee receipts, WhatsApp group chats, and staff salary slips. That is a lot of family information. Under India's new data law, all of this is your responsibility. One mistake can cost you heavily.
Think about your daily work. You collect a parent's phone number during admission. You store a student's test scores in a Google Sheet. You add families to a WhatsApp group. You keep a teacher's PAN card copy for salary. Each of these is someone's personal information. The new law says you must protect all of it. You must tell people why you are collecting it. You cannot share it without permission. If data is leaked, you are responsible.
List every place you store student, parent, and staff information today.
