Privacy Policy & Data Security
Effective Date: October 2026 • 14th Edition Wafiyya Arts Fest • Coordination of Islamic Colleges (CIC)
1. Institutional Mandate & Scope
This Privacy Policy governs the collection, processing, confidentiality, and storage of participant and institutional data across the 14th Wafiyya Arts Fest Portal, operated under the joint jurisdiction of the Coordination of Islamic Colleges (CIC) and the Wafiyya Students Federation (WSF).
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data security, identity protection, and academic integrity for all participating students, faculty mentors, and fest officials.

Authorized college representative email, designated role (Admin, Convenor, Stage Controller, Result Tabulator), and audit transaction timestamps.
3. Double-Blind Judging & Identity Anonymity
To eliminate bias, jury scoring sheets operate through decoupled surrogate codes (chest numbers / blind submission IDs). At no point during evaluation do judges have access to a participant's real name, institutional affiliation, or personal identity. De-anonymization only occurs automatically upon final centralized validation by the Chief Tabulation Board.
4. Storage, Encryption & Access Control
All data records are stored in high-availability enterprise database clusters backed by Supabase with Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS). All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3 standards. Strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures college coordinators may only view registered students belonging exclusively to their affiliated institution.

We do not use advertising, marketing, or third-party profiling cookies. Browser storage is used strictly for technical operation:
