Privacy Policy & Data Protection Charter

1. Information We Collect (Data Minimisation)

At QuizWiz (operated by Futurenxt), we collect only necessary personal data strictly required to register students, verify academic grades, administer quizzes, and deliver awards:

• Student Identity: Full name, school name, grade/class (1 to 12), and city/state.
• Parent / Guardian Contact: Email address and WhatsApp/mobile phone number for contest alerts, verification, and schedule updates.
• Academic Performance Records: Quiz answers, score tallies, completion times, and leaderboard ranks.

2. Lawful Basis and Purpose of Processing

We process personal data solely on the lawful basis of verifiable consent (Section 6 & 9 of DPDP Act) for the following specified purposes:

• Enrolling students into their age-appropriate competition division (Group A or Group B).
• Communicating quiz schedules, daily practice challenges, and ranking updates via WhatsApp and Email.
• Validating national rankings, issuing verified digital Merit Certificates, and dispatching scholarships and physical prizes (e.g., HP Laptops and Tablets).
• Ensuring fair play, preventing multi-account duplicate entries, and auditing contest integrity.

3. Special Safeguards for Minors (DPDP Section 9)

Because our platform serves school students under 18 years of age:

• Verifiable Parental Consent: Registration requires affirmative parental or guardian consent acknowledging student participation.
• No Behavioral Profiling: We do not monitor student behavior, psychological traits, or online habits outside the quiz interface.
• No Targeted Advertising: We never display commercial advertisements or sell student information to third-party ad networks or data brokers.

4. Statutory Rights of Parents and Data Principals

Under the DPDP Act 2023, parents and students possess comprehensive rights regarding their personal data:

• Right to Access (Section 11): You may request a summary of the personal data we store regarding your child.
• Right to Correction & Erasure (Section 12): You may request correction of incorrect details or deletion of your child’s records at any time.
• Right to Withdraw Consent (Section 6(4)): You may withdraw your consent at any time. Upon receipt, we will cease processing and delete the student’s profile, except where retention is required by statutory law.
• Right of Grievance Redressal (Section 13): You have direct access to our Grievance Redressal Officer.

5. Data Storage, Retention & Security (Section 8)

All student data is securely stored on enterprise servers protected by SSL/TLS encryption, secure database access tokens, and access logging. Data is retained only for the duration of the championship season and deleted or anonymized once contest auditing and prize dispatches are finalized.

6. Communication via WhatsApp & SMS

Parents who provide mobile numbers during registration consent to receive official administrative contest updates, round links, and syllabus PDFs via WhatsApp from our helpline (+91 98015 06511). You can opt out at any time by messaging "STOP" or notifying our support desk.
