Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and phone number when you submit a contact or admissions inquiry form, register for updates, or subscribe to our newsletter. If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

We also automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to help us understand how visitors use our site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Newsletter and mailing list

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored and processed through Mailchimp so that we can send you updates about admissions, events, and school news. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. When you log in, we also set cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks.

We use Google Analytics cookies to understand site traffic and usage patterns. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, maps, social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website, and these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us run the site, including Google (Analytics and Search Console), Mailchimp (email newsletter), Automattic/Gravatar (comment avatars), Wordfence (site security), and our web hosting provider. If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For users who register on our website, we store the personal information in their user profile, which they can see, edit, or delete at any time (except their username). Contact and admissions form submissions are retained as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for our administrative records.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make a request, contact us at info@monastic.edu.np.

Security

We use industry-standard measures, including a web application firewall and malware scanning (Wordfence), to help protect the information we hold from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
