The IMRI privacy policy details our commitment to collecting, protecting, and responsibly handling personal information provided by website visitors, course applicants, and enrolled students. We prioritize data confidentiality and maintain strict security protocols across all digital forms, enquiry channels, and learning management systems.
Information We Collect and Processing Purposes
We collect personal information necessary to deliver personalized digital marketing instruction, manage course admissions, evaluate student applications, and communicate educational updates. Information collected directly from users includes full names, email addresses, contact telephone numbers, educational backgrounds, and professional career goals submitted through online enquiry forms.
In addition to form submissions, our web servers automatically record standard technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, operating system details, referring web pages, and session interaction timestamps. This technical information is analyzed in aggregate to improve website performance, optimize page navigation, and enhance overall user experience.
Information Collection Categories and Methods
Personal information is gathered across several primary interaction channels on our portal:
- Admissions Enquiries: Name, phone number, email address, and career preferences submitted via contact forms.
- Course Application Forms: Academic history, prior marketing experience, resume uploads, and learning objectives.
- Portal Student Accounts: Login credentials, assignment submissions, mentor feedback records, and attendance logs.
- Payment Gateway Transactions: Billing addresses, payment confirmation tokens, and invoice transaction IDs.
Cookies and Analytics Tracking Technologies
The IMRI platform utilizes cookies and similar tracking identifiers to recognize returning visitors, remember user preferences, and measure marketing campaign effectiveness. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that enable essential website functions and help us understand how users interact with our educational content.
Visitors may manage cookie preferences through their browser settings. While disabling cookies does not prevent general browsing, certain interactive portal tools and registration forms may function with reduced capability. Participants attending our hands-on digital marketing workshops can learn how analytics tracking tags operate across modern web platforms.
Types of Tracking Identifiers Used
Our portal employs both session-based and persistent cookies to maintain user authentication and gather performance data. Session cookies expire automatically upon closing your web browser, while persistent cookies remain stored to remember preference selections during subsequent visits.
Data Protection, Security Measures, and Storage
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of student personal data. Sensitive transaction details and personal records are encrypted during transmission using secure socket layer protocols and stored on protected servers with restricted access controls.
Only authorized IMRI faculty, admissions staff, and technical administrators possess access to student data, strictly on a need-to-know basis. We retain personal records only as long as required to fulfill educational services, satisfy accounting rules, or comply with legal retention requirements.
Third-Party Sharing and Confidentiality Policy
IMRI does not sell, rent, trade, or lease personal user information to third-party marketing firms or data brokers. We share personal data only with trusted service providers who assist in operating our website, processing fee payments, or delivering email communications under strict confidentiality agreements.
In specific instances where students enroll in our placement assistance programs, relevant career background details and project portfolios are shared with prospective corporate hiring partners. Learners interested in introductory training before sharing detailed career histories can explore our Free Digital Marketing Course to review foundational concepts risk-free.
Data Retention Protocols and Erasure Requests
Personal data collected during admissions enquiries and student registration is retained in accordance with legal and institutional guidelines. Contact details provided for general course enquiries are retained for up to two years to support follow-up communications, after which inactive records are securely archived or purged.
Students and website users retain the right to request full erasure of their personal profile records from our active databases. Upon receiving a verified data erasure request, our technical compliance team removes personal contact records within 30 business days, excluding records required by law for financial accounting or legal audit purposes.
Information Security Audit and Encryption Standards
To ensure robust data protection across all server environments, IMRI undergoes regular internal security reviews and automated vulnerability assessments. Database connections containing student records are safeguarded behind enterprise firewalls, and server access tokens are refreshed on a strict schedule.
Payment processing transactions are managed entirely by PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways, ensuring that financial account numbers, credit card details, and CVV codes are never stored directly on IMRI web servers.
Updates to Privacy Policy and Modification Notices
IMRI reserves the right to update or modify this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in legal data regulations, institutional practices, or technical platform enhancements. Revised policies take effect immediately upon publication on our website, accompanied by an updated policy revision date.
We encourage learners and portal visitors to review this page periodically to remain informed about how we protect personal information. Continued use of our website or training services following published policy updates constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
Children's Privacy Protection Guidelines
The IMRI website and educational training programs are designed exclusively for adult learners, university graduates, and working professionals. We do not knowingly collect, request, or maintain personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If our administrative team discovers that an applicant under 18 has submitted personal details without verified parental consent, that information is deleted immediately from our systems.
