Atharv SecureTech Private Limited (CIN: U62091TS2025PTC204537) (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and why, across our website (atharvsecuretech.com) and our general dealings with customers, job applicants, and business contacts. If you use one of our products, such as Atharv Vault, that product's own Privacy Policy governs the specifics of how it handles your data — this page covers the Company more broadly, and the two are consistent with each other.

1. Information We Collect

• Website visitors: standard technical data (such as IP address and browser type) and any information you choose to submit through a contact or enquiry form, plus cookies as described in our Cookie Policy.
• Customers and product users: account details such as your email address, and any information specific to the product you use — described in that product's own Privacy Policy.
• Job applicants: your CV, cover letter, and any information you provide during a hiring process.
• Business contacts and vendors: contact details and information exchanged in the course of a business relationship.

2. How We Use Your Information

To respond to enquiries, operate our products and services, run our hiring process, manage vendor and business relationships, and meet our legal and regulatory obligations. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example, when you submit a form), the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you (for example, if you are a customer or a vendor), or our legitimate business interests and legal obligations, consistent with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”).

4. Your Rights

Under the DPDP Act, and GDPR/UK GDPR where applicable, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request its correction, and request its erasure — see our Account & Data Deletion Policy for how to make a request, or use our Data Subject Rights Request Form if we've provided one to you.

5. Data Sharing

We share personal data only where necessary — with hosting and email providers who help us run our website and products, with payment processors (Apple, Google, Razorpay, or Paddle) for purchases made through them, and with professional advisors where required. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law — for example, financial records are kept for the period mandated by Indian tax law.

7. Children's Data

Our website and products are not directed at, and may not be used by, anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us using the details in Section 9.

8. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside India — for example, to a hosting or payment provider with servers abroad — we take reasonable steps to ensure it continues to receive an appropriate level of protection.

9. Grievance Officer & Contact

In accordance with the DPDP Act, 2023 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, grievances relating to personal data processing may be directed to:

Grievance Officer: Director
Designation: Director
Email: director@atharvsecuretech.com
Address: TBI, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Secunderabad, Telangana, 500078, India

We aim to acknowledge and respond within 30 days of receipt, subject to the nature of the request and any statutory timelines.

For users in the European Union or United Kingdom: we have not yet appointed a representative under Article 27 of the GDPR/UK GDPR. Please use the Grievance Officer contact details above in the meantime.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our operations evolve or as required by law. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.

This policy explains how you can ask us to delete the personal data we hold about you, across our website and any product or service offered by Atharv SecureTech Private Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”). If you're a user of a specific product such as Atharv Vault, that product's own policy takes precedence for anything specific to how that product stores your data — this page covers the general process.

1. How to Request Deletion

Where a product offers an in-app or in-account deletion option (as Atharv Vault does, under Settings), you can use that directly — it is the fastest route and does not require contacting us. For anything not covered by an in-product option — for example, data we hold about you as a website visitor, job applicant, or business contact — email privacy@atharvsecuretech.com with your request.

2. What We Delete

On a valid request, we delete the personal data associated with you that we control — account details, contact information, and any records tied specifically to your request — from our active systems. Where a product has its own deletion scope (for example, Atharv Vault's Account & Data Deletion Policy lists exactly what is removed for that app), that product-specific scope applies in addition to this general policy.

3. What We May Not Be Able to Delete

Some data may be retained beyond a deletion request where we are required to by law — for example, financial and tax records, or data a payment processor (Apple, Google, Razorpay, or Paddle, depending on how a purchase was made) holds independently under their own retention obligations. We do not control those processors' retention schedules, and a request to us does not delete their records — you would need to contact them directly for their own copy of that data.

4. Timeline

Where deletion is handled in-product, it is immediate. Where you email us directly, we aim to complete the deletion and confirm back to you within 30 days of receiving a valid, verified request.

5. Verifying Your Identity

To make sure we don't delete or disclose data to the wrong person, we may ask you to verify your identity before acting on a request — for example, by confirming details already on file or replying from the email address associated with your account.
