At oasisscholarship.org, we believe transparency is the foundation of trust. This policy outlines how we handle data on this educational platform, authored by Siddharth Chatterjee. We are committed to protecting the digital privacy of students from the SC, ST, and OBC communities of West Bengal.
1. Independent Status Disclosure
First and foremost: oasisscholarship.org is an independent educational blog. We are NOT affiliated with the Backward Classes Welfare Department or the Government of West Bengal. Our goal is to provide expert guidance and troubleshooting for the official oasis.gov.in portal. We never charge money for scholarship information.
2. Information We DO NOT Collect
To ensure maximum security for our users, we do not collect or store sensitive personal identifiers. * We will never ask for your Aadhaar Number, Bank Account Passwords, or Caste Certificate details.
- Any data you enter on the official government portal (
oasis.gov.in) via our external links is governed by the Government of West Bengal’s privacy rules, not ours.
3. Information We Collect (Log Data & Cookies)
Like most modern 2026 websites, we use basic tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how students interact with our guides. This includes:
- Device Info: Which browser or mobile device you use (to ensure our guide is readable for you).
- Usage Patterns: Which sections of our “Step-by-Step Guide” are most helpful.
- Cookies: Small data files used to remember your preferences and improve site loading speed. You can disable these in your browser settings at any time.
4. External Linking & Third-Party Safety
Our articles contain links to official government servers. While we verify these links for safety, we do not control the content or security of the government portals. Always ensure the URL in your browser ends in .gov.in before entering sensitive data.
5. Protecting Minors
Since many Oasis Scholarship applicants are school students (Pre-Matric), we take extra care. Our content is strictly educational and does not contain “dark patterns” or invasive tracking aimed at minors. We encourage parents to supervise students using any online educational resource.
6. Data Security
We implement SSL Encryption to ensure that your visit to our site is secure. Our author, Siddharth Chatterjee, ensures that every troubleshooting tip and guide follows ethical data practices.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to browse this site without providing any personal info. If you contact us via email, your email address is used solely to reply to your query and is never sold to third-party marketers.
