Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to braindeck.in and direct communications with Braindeck. Our portfolio ventures and external websites may operate their own websites, products, and privacy policies. Review the relevant policy before providing information to them.

2. Personal data we may collect

• Information you provide: name, email address, telephone number, organisation, professional details, enquiry content, and other information you choose to send.
• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser and device information, approximate location derived from IP, timestamps, referring pages, diagnostic information, and security logs processed by our hosting or security providers.
• Business communications: correspondence, meeting details, proposals, and records reasonably required to manage a potential or existing business relationship.

Please do not send sensitive personal data or confidential material unless it is necessary and we have agreed on an appropriate method of communication.

3. How and why we use personal data

• Responding to enquiries and communicating with you.
• Evaluating potential projects, partnerships, employment enquiries, or business relationships.
• Providing requested information, proposals, and services.
• Operating, protecting, troubleshooting, and improving our website and systems.
• Preventing fraud, abuse, unauthorised access, and security incidents.
• Maintaining business, tax, compliance, and legal records.
• Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims and complying with lawful requests.

We process personal data for lawful purposes based on your consent where required, to respond to actions you request, and for other uses permitted by applicable law. We do not use personal data for an unrelated purpose without providing appropriate information or obtaining consent where required.

4. Cookies, fonts, hosting, and analytics

Braindeck.in currently has no user accounts, online payment facility, advertising cookies, or behavioural advertising. The website uses essential hosting and security infrastructure and may load web fonts from Google. These providers may receive limited technical information such as your IP address and browser details.

The contact form sends the details you provide through Braindeck’s server-side enquiry endpoint and transactional-email provider to connect@braindeck.in. The website does not store enquiries in your browser or repository. Hosting, security, and email providers may process limited enquiry and technical data to deliver the message, prevent abuse, and maintain service security. If analytics, advertising, accounts, or payments are added later, this policy and any required consent mechanism will be updated before that processing begins.

5. Sharing of personal data

We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share limited information with hosting, cloud, email, security, professional-advisory, and other service providers acting for legitimate operational purposes; with a Braindeck venture when you direct an enquiry to that venture; during a genuine corporate transaction subject to appropriate safeguards; or where disclosure is required by law, regulation, court order, or a competent authority.

Service providers are expected to process information only for the relevant purpose and with appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

6. International processing

Some technology providers may process or store data outside India. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and apply contractual, organisational, and technical safeguards consistent with applicable Indian law and any government restrictions on cross-border transfers.

7. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose described in this policy, including responding to enquiries, maintaining business records, meeting legal or regulatory duties, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it.

8. Security and data breaches

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse. No method of online transmission or storage is completely secure. If a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess and address it and provide notifications to affected individuals and relevant authorities when required by applicable law.

9. Your rights and choices

Subject to applicable law, you may:

• Request a summary of personal data being processed and relevant processing information.
• Request correction, completion, updating, or erasure of personal data.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting prior lawful processing.
• Raise a grievance about our handling of personal data.
• Nominate another individual to exercise applicable rights in the event of death or incapacity.

Send requests to connect@braindeck.in. We may request proportionate information to verify your identity and protect against unauthorised disclosure. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. If a grievance remains unresolved, you may use remedies available under applicable data-protection law, including approaching the Data Protection Board of India where legally available.

10. Children’s personal data

This corporate website is not directed to children and we do not knowingly seek personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided personal data without appropriate parental consent, contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

11. Third-party links

Our website links to Braindeck ventures and independent third-party websites. Their privacy and security practices are governed by their own policies, and Braindeck is not responsible for their independent processing activities.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our website, operations, service providers, or applicable law. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may be communicated through an additional website notice where appropriate.

13. Contact and grievance handling

For privacy questions, rights requests, or grievances, contact Braindeck’s Privacy and Grievance Contact at connect@braindeck.in. Please include enough information to understand your request, but do not email unnecessary sensitive information.
