Privacy Policy
This policy explains how PathLK uses student information, how guidance should be interpreted, and what must be verified before a student acts on a roadmap or recommendation.
PathLK is a Sri Lanka-focused student guidance platform that uses assessment inputs, pathway evidence, catalogue data, and structured reasoning to help students understand suitable education and career directions. The platform is designed for guidance and planning support, not for final admissions or employment decisions.
This policy applies to student users, parent users, and administrators who access PathLK through the website. It covers information collected during registration, profile management, assessment submission, roadmap generation, and account use.
PathLK may collect account identity details such as name, email address, district, preferred language, and profile image. The platform also collects assessment data including academic history, O/L and A/L subject information, personal preferences, financial context, aspirations, work preferences, and psychometric responses.
Assessment inputs are used to generate career intelligence, route comparisons, results summaries, and personalized roadmaps. These inputs may also be used to improve the consistency of future platform guidance, provided that student-level data is not exposed publicly as identifiable information.
PathLK synthesizes recommendations from student inputs and grounded Sri Lanka pathway context. Guidance may still contain uncertainty, assumptions, incomplete coverage, or interpretation limits. Students must not treat PathLK guidance as a guaranteed statement of admission, scholarship eligibility, programme availability, migration outcomes, salary outcomes, or employment success.
Before acting on any recommendation, students must verify admissions requirements, fees, scholarship rules, programme availability, faculty structure, recognition status, and institutional conditions through official university, institute, government, examination, or professional-body sources.
PathLK may use anonymized and aggregated usage patterns to generate district intelligence, demand trends, planning-stage signals, and internal national-level analytics. These aggregated views are intended for planning insight and do not publish private student-level result records.
PathLK stores account and profile data to preserve a student's assessment history, saved roadmap language, district setting, and results continuity. If a profile document is missing or incomplete after sign-up, the platform may recreate or repair the profile data automatically so the account remains usable.
Student data may remain stored while the account remains active so that the user can return to prior assessments, results, and settings. Internal access to catalogue monitoring, national analytics, and administrative controls is restricted and is not intended for public browsing.
PathLK is designed with minimal data collection principles. User profile avatars are rendered directly via your connected Google account identity or system initials; PathLK does not host or store unverified user files or arbitrary media uploads on its servers.
Because many users are students making education decisions, PathLK is designed to explain recommendations carefully and conservatively. Students and families remain responsible for checking final facts, discussing major decisions appropriately, and avoiding irreversible commitments based only on one generated output.
PathLK may revise this policy as the platform evolves, particularly when catalogue ingestion, analysis behaviour, or account features change. Continued use of the platform means the user accepts the updated policy version published on the site.
