PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: May 2026

The Liberal Arts Centre (liberalartscentre.org) is owned, operated, and managed wholly by Groundwork Ideas Project LLP (Registered Address: 18, Panchsheel Park, Panchsheel Enclave, New Delhi 110017). Throughout this Privacy Policy, the term "Centre" shall explicitly mean and refer to The Liberal Arts Centre, which is owned, operated, and managed in its entirety by Groundwork Ideas Project LLP.

Groundwork Ideas Project LLP ("the LLP", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, utilise our digital infrastructure, or enrol in our academic courses, advanced seminars, and educational programs (collectively, the "Services").

By using our platform or enrolling in our Services, you consent to the data collection and usage practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any terms in this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of our platform immediately.

Personal Information

Personal data you deliberately share when registering for courses, creating an account, or contacting us. This includes your name, email address, physical billing address, telephone number, academic background, and professional details.

Live Lecture Visual Presence Data

The Centre delivers live interactive seminars, online reading cohorts, and advanced academic discussions as a core element of its Services. To validate student engagement and fulfil the baseline eligibility criteria required for the award of an internal Certificate of Completion under our Terms & Conditions, real-time data processing occurs during these sessions to monitor attendance metrics and visual presence. The Centre does not store, record, or harvest isolated private student video feeds for secondary or unauthorised commercial purposes, though individual participant interactions are inherently captured as part of the holistic institutional lecture recordings provisioned under Section 3 of this Policy.

Billing and Financial Data

All payments are processed through integrated, authorised third-party billing gateways. Neither the Centre nor Groundwork Ideas Project LLP collects, stores, or handles private financial metrics such as credit card numbers, CVVs, or internet banking passwords. All such secure data is passed directly to our encrypted compliance vendor payment networks.

Automated Device Data

Information collected automatically by our servers when you access the website, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, pages viewed, and geographical location.

Educational and Operational Use

We utilise your collected metrics to deliver a high-quality educational framework, specifically to: process your admissions application, process payments, and manage your enrollment records; verify your compliance with completion criteria, including monitoring active participation and your live camera visibility during academic sessions to validate the award of your certificate; send structural emails regarding schedule updates, reading assignments, administrative alerts, and answers to your customer support queries; maintain, optimise, secure, and troubleshoot our digital learning infrastructure and hosting environments; and defend against fraudulent transactions, clear payment gateway chargeback compliance issues, and enforce our core Terms and Conditions.

Reservation of Recording Rights

The Centre reserves the absolute right to record any and all educational sessions, live interactive seminars, online reading cohorts, and offline or physical lectures delivered under its Services. These recordings are executed for institutional archiving, pedagogical optimisation, administrative review, and course quality controls.

Automated AI Note-Taking and Transcription

The Centre utilises specialised third-party artificial intelligence (AI) software applications, digital transcription tools, and automated meeting synthesis infrastructure. These systems interface with both online streaming platforms and offline meeting environments to record discussions, generate real-time class transcripts, capture lecture summaries, and curate internal academic reference notes. By enrolling in our Services, participants acknowledge and consent to such automated data processing, transcription logging, and institutional media utilisation.

No Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell, trade, rent, or lease your personal data to third-party commercial networks for marketing purposes. We only share information with specific partners under the following parameters.

Third-Party Service Providers

We share details with specialised partners who perform tasks on our behalf, including secure checkout processing (payment gateways), server database maintenance, digital learning platform delivery, and email automation infrastructure.

Course Faculty and Academic Reviewers

We may share relevant user enrollment information with designated course faculty members to enable academic assessment, text response paper reviews, seminar coordination, and completion certificate validation.

Legal Compliance and Protection

We will disclose information where required to do so by applicable law, regulatory mandates, or judicial orders issued by valid authorities within the jurisdiction of New Delhi, India, or to defend our legal rights against fraud or contract violations.

Cookies and Tracking

Our platform utilises cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels to preserve session security, recognise you across log-ins, and aggregate analytics data regarding web traffic. You can modify your internet browser configurations to refuse cookies; however, doing so may disrupt your user experience or break certain interactive elements of our digital learning platform.

Security Protocols

Groundwork Ideas Project LLP applies standard security protocols to safeguard your personal metrics from unauthorised exposure, alteration, or destruction. However, no data transmitted over the internet or handled via cloud infrastructure can be guaranteed 100% secure. Any data transmission you execute is done at your own risk.

Retention Period

We retain your personal profile and academic logs only for as long as is strictly necessary to fulfil your learning track, execute corporate tax obligations, satisfy payment gateway merchant records, or handle potential legal inquiries within our local jurisdiction boundaries.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy, its structural interpretation, and any operational data disputes arising between you and Groundwork Ideas Project LLP shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Republic of India. Any legal or data dispute resolution mechanisms shall be filed strictly within the absolute jurisdiction of the courts of New Delhi, India.
