This policy explains what information Visle collects when you use visle.in, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We have written it to be short and plain. The most important point first: the simulator itself does not send anything about you or your performance to us.
Who we are
Visle (“we”, “us”) operates visle.in, an educational clinical simulation website based in India. For this policy, Visle is the data fiduciary responsible for personal data collected through the site, under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the rules made under it.
Information we collect
When you use the simulator
The simulator runs entirely in your web browser. Your history-taking, examination choices, drug doses, scores and debriefs are calculated on your own device and are not sent to us or stored by us. When you close or reload the page, that session is gone.
When you contact us
If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, your role (for example, intern or resident), the topic you choose and your message. You decide what to include in the message. Please do not send identifiable details about real patients.
Technical information
Like every website, our hosting server automatically records basic technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request. This is used for security, to prevent abuse and to keep the site running.
Fonts and libraries
To display the site and the 3D simulator, your browser loads fonts from Google Fonts and the three.js library from cdnjs (operated by Cloudflare). These providers receive your IP address and browser details when the files load, under their own privacy policies.
How we use your information
- To reply to your message and follow up on what you asked about
- To investigate and correct clinical or technical errors you report
- To improve Visle, its cases and its content
- To keep the site secure and prevent misuse
- To meet our legal obligations
We do not use your information for advertising, we do not build marketing profiles, and we do not add you to any mailing list unless you separately ask us to.
Consent
We process the details you send through the contact form on the basis of your consent, which you give when you tick the consent box and submit the form. You can withdraw consent at any time by writing to us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place.
Who we share it with
We never sell or rent your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site, and only as far as needed:
- Hostinger, our web hosting provider, which stores the website and contact messages
- Email delivery services used to forward contact form messages to our inbox
- Google Fonts and Cloudflare (cdnjs), which deliver fonts and code files, as described above
We may also disclose information if required by law, by a court order or by a government authority with lawful power to ask for it, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the public.
How long we keep it
- Contact messages: up to 24 months after our last exchange with you, then deleted, unless we need them longer to resolve a dispute or meet a legal obligation
- Server logs: kept for a limited period by our hosting provider for security purposes
- Simulator sessions: not stored by us at all
Your rights
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you have the right to:
- Ask what personal data we hold about you and how we use it
- Ask us to correct, complete or update it
- Ask us to erase it, where we no longer need it or you withdraw consent
- Have your grievances addressed by us
- Nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become incapable
To use any of these rights, write to us through our Contact page and choose “Privacy or data request” as the topic. We will respond within the period required by law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections and restricted administrative access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Visle is intended for medical, nursing and allied-health students and professionals. It is not directed at children. If you are under 18, please do not send us personal data through the contact form without the consent of a parent or lawful guardian. If we learn that we have received a child’s data without that consent, we will delete it.
Visitors outside India
Our servers and service providers may be located in India or other countries. By using the site from outside India, you understand that your information will be processed under Indian law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Visle grows, for example if we add user accounts or analytics. We will change the date at the top and, for significant changes, highlight them on the site.
Contact and grievances
For any question or complaint about this policy or your data, contact our grievance team through the Contact page, choosing “Privacy or data request”. We aim to acknowledge requests within 2 working days.
