The Company may hold information about the following:

Additionally, personal data shall be processed for ancillary internal tasks of the Company, such as bookkeeping and accounting, auditing, and regulatory reporting requirements to concerned authorities. To execute the agreed engagement, when the requested information is not obtained from the person, it may impact the quality or delivery schedule of the services.

Personal data shall be used only for the purposes it was collected unless such data is required for some other purpose following the applicable regulations. If such data is required for an unrelated purpose, the concerned company shall give prior intimation to the concerned parties and the legal backing.

The Company shall rely on the data subject's consent as the legal grounds for processing personal information for limited instances where an explicit request has been made. If the processing is done based on consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, any data processing conducted before the withdrawal of the consent shall remain valid and lawful.

Further, in certain situations, the requirement for data processing may arise from the necessity to perform tasks in the substantial public interest as mandated by law, such as detecting and preventing crimes. Such processing shall not be subject to the data subject's consent.

Involvement of third parties

The Company may share personal data with third parties or internally amongst the companies when such data sharing is required to conclude the service engagement or other legal purposes mandating the Company to transmit such information.

The Company has never and shall never sell the personal data of the stakeholders to any third party under whatsoever circumstances.

When third parties are involved, the third parties are mandated to adhere to the Company’s Data Privacy Policy and Data Protection Policy. Wherever required under the law or as per internal policies of the Company, the concerned company shall seek the data subject's consent before transmitting the personal data to third parties.

How the security of the data will be ensured?

The Company has adopted appropriate technical, organizational, and security measures to prevent any accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of the personal data of any data subject. The details of this are captured in the Company's Data Protection Policy.

Further, the Company has a policy to ensure that only the concerned employees, agents, or third parties access and process personal data engaged in service delivery or business relationship management. Such data processing is subject to strict adherence to the confidentiality requirement.

The collected personal data shall be retained for the period required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, including the ancillary requirement related to legal documentation and accounting/reporting. Once the objective of collected data is achieved, the Company shall appropriately delete, archive, or anonymize the personal data to avoid any inappropriate or unauthorized use of the data without the knowledge of the data subject.

Further, the Company also has a mechanism in place to handle the suspected breach of the data privacy and protection standard.
