1. Who We Are
Beyond Brochure is a student-real one guidance platform operated by Aulakh Ventures Private Limited ("we", "us", "our"). Our registered address is in India. You can reach us at hello@beyondbrochure.com.
2. What Data We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide our service:
- Students: Name, email, phone number, city, college, goals, and questions for real ones.
- Real Ones: Name, email, phone, LinkedIn profile, college/career background, and availability.
- BBX Reviewers: Name (optional if anonymous), email, phone, college reviewed, and rating scores.
- Contact enquiries: Name, contact details, and message content.
- Sign-up forms and pop-ups: Name, mobile number, email, city, and what you are exploring, saved with the date and time and the page you were on. We store your consent when you tick the box. If you join the weekly email, we store only your email and consent.
- Usage data: Pages visited, time on site, device and browser type, and approximate location. We collect this with standard server logs and Google Analytics, which uses cookies. It is used to understand how the site is used and is not combined with your name or contact details.
3. How We Use Your Data
- To match students with appropriate real ones based on goals and profile.
- To send session confirmations, transcripts, and platform updates via email or WhatsApp.
- To improve our matching quality and platform experience.
- To process payments securely via Razorpay (we never store card details).
- To publish BBX college scores (reviewer names are hidden if anonymity was selected).
4. What We Will Never Do
We will never:
- Sell your personal data, or share it with colleges, coaching institutes, or advertisers. The only outside services that handle data for us are listed in section 5.
- Accept referral fees or commissions from colleges for directing students.
- Use your data for unsolicited advertising or cold-calling by partners.
5. Data Sharing
We share your data only with:
- Your matched real one — limited to name and session context, not your full profile.
- Supabase — our secure database provider (data stored in EU/US AWS regions with encryption at rest).
- Razorpay — for payment processing only.
- Brevo — for transactional emails (session confirmations, transcripts).
- Google Analytics — to measure site usage. It sets cookies and receives your device, browser, and approximate location data, but not your name or contact details.
- Google Fonts — loads the site's typeface, so Google receives your IP address when a page loads.
- Jitsi — hosts the video call during a session.
6. Data Retention
We retain your data as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time by emailing hello@beyondbrochure.com. Anonymised BBX review scores (without personal identifiers) may be retained for the public college database.
7. Your Rights
- Access the data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your account and personal data.
- Withdraw consent for communications at any time.
