Privacy Statement
We value your privacy. This policy describes how ValleyRipplePaper safeguards and handles your personal data.
Information We Collect
As you use our international cuisine creativity platform, we gather details that enhance our ability to deliver improved educational experiences. This includes information you provide when creating an account, enrolling in programs, or contacting support.
- Personal contact details such as your name, email address, and other ways to reach you
- Learning preferences and cooking skill levels you indicate
- Progress data from your courses
- Correspondence with our support team
- Device and browser technical details used to optimize the platform
We also collect anonymized usage metrics to understand how learners interact with our platform, helping improve course content and functionality without identifying individuals.
How We Use Your Information
Your data serves precise purposes that enhance your learning experience on our site. We process personal information to deliver educational material, monitor your course progress, and offer tailored recommendations for skill enhancement.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your information remains within our educational ecosystem and with trusted service providers who assist in operating the platform.
Email updates cover course news, new programs, and learning resources about international cuisine creativity. You can modify these preferences or unsubscribe anytime from your account settings.
Data Storage and Security
We store your data on protected servers in India, adhering to local data protection rules. Our technical team uses layered security measures such as encryption, controlled access, and routine security audits.
- SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
- Regular backups to prevent data loss
- Access controls restricting who can view personal data
- Annual security assessments by external cybersecurity experts
Despite safeguards, no online system is entirely risk-free. We will notify affected users within 72 hours if a data breach occurs that could affect personal data.
Your Rights and Choices
Under applicable data protection laws and global privacy standards, you have multiple rights over your personal information. You may request access to all data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate details, or ask for deletion of your account and related data.
To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the details below. We typically respond to data requests within 15 business days, though complex requests might take up to 30 days.
Deleting your account removes your profile, progress, and personal data from our active systems. However, we may retain anonymized usage data for platform improvement purposes.

We disclose personal information only in particular circumstances that aid your learning experience or meet legal obligations.
