This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you visit our website skilltraininginstitute.in, fill our forms, or interact with our ads. By using our website or services, you agree to this Policy.
We collect two types of information — what you voluntarily provide to us, and what is automatically collected when you use our website.
⚠️ We never collect your financial details (bank account, credit card), Aadhaar/PAN number, or any medical information. Our forms are strictly for contact and course counselling purposes only.

📌 Please Note: We do not sell or share your mobile number or email address with any third-party marketing company. Your information remains strictly confidential.
We use Google's advertising services, including Google Ads (Search, Display, and YouTube). The following technologies are used for this purpose:

We advertise on Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram). For this purpose, we use the Meta Pixel (also known as the Facebook Pixel).
- Meta Pixel: A JavaScript code installed on our website that tracks which pages you visited, whether you submitted a form, and how much time you spent on the site.
- Custom Audiences: We may share your data (such as your phone number or email — in hashed/encrypted form) with Facebook to show relevant ads to existing enquiries.

- Lead Ads: If you fill out our Lead Form on Facebook or Instagram, your information is sent directly to us.
- Conversion API (CAPI): Server-side data sharing used to improve the performance of our ad campaigns.
📌 Data collected through the Meta Pixel is handled in accordance with Meta's own Privacy Policy. STI has no control over how Meta processes this data on its end.
