We process personal information only for legitimate purposes connected with our Website, operations, business relationships, recruitment and legal obligations.

Depending on the interaction, we may use information to:

• protect the rights, safety, security and property of Udyat, individuals and third parties; and
• carry out other purposes that are clearly communicated to you at the time information is collected.

Basis for Processing Personal Information

The basis on which Udyat processes personal information depends on the nature of the information, the interaction and the applicable law.

We may process personal information where:

• you have voluntarily provided or consented to the processing of the information for a specified purpose;
• processing is necessary to respond to a request or take steps requested by you;
• processing is reasonably necessary for recruitment or employment-related purposes;
• processing is required to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation;
• processing is necessary to protect legitimate business, operational, security or legal interests, where permitted under applicable law; or
• another lawful basis or permitted use applies under applicable data protection law.

Where processing is based on consent and applicable law provides you with a right to withdraw that consent, you may request withdrawal by contacting us. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Recruitment and Career Applications

When you apply for employment or submit your profile through the Udyat career section, we may process information including your name, email address, phone number, location, experience, position applied for, résumé or CV, cover letter and other professional information you provide.

Recruitment information may be used to:

• review your qualifications and experience;
• assess your suitability for a role;
• communicate regarding your application;
• coordinate interviews or further evaluation;
• verify information where appropriate and lawful;
• consider your profile for other relevant current or future opportunities; and
• maintain appropriate recruitment and compliance records.

Your application may be shared internally with relevant human resources personnel, hiring managers and authorised employees of the relevant Udyat business or group entity.

Submitting an application does not guarantee employment, shortlisting or further communication.

Cookies and Analytics Technologies

The Website may use cookies, server logs and similar technologies to provide functionality, maintain security, remember technical preferences, measure Website performance and understand how visitors interact with our content.

Essential technologies

Certain technologies may be required for the Website to function securely and correctly. These may support functions such as session management, security, form operation and technical performance.

Analytics technologies

Where analytics services are enabled, they may collect information such as device type, browser, pages visited, referral source, approximate location, interactions and session-related data to help us understand and improve Website performance.

Managing cookies

Most browsers allow users to control or delete cookies through browser settings. Restricting certain cookies may affect the operation or functionality of parts of the Website.

Where consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies is required by applicable law, such technologies should be deployed in accordance with the relevant consent requirements.

How We Share Personal Information

Udyat does not disclose personal information indiscriminately. Information may be shared where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients may include:

• relevant Udyat group companies, businesses and departments;
• employees and authorised personnel who require the information to perform their duties;
• technology, website hosting, cloud, cybersecurity and IT service providers;
• recruitment and professional service providers;
• consultants, auditors, accountants, insurers and legal advisers;
• analytics or technical service providers where such services are used;
• government authorities, regulators, courts or law enforcement agencies where disclosure is legally required or permitted; and
• another organisation in connection with a merger, restructuring, acquisition, transfer of business, joint venture or similar corporate transaction, subject to appropriate legal requirements.

Where third-party service providers process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to use such information only for authorised purposes and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Udyat does not treat personal information submitted through its corporate Website as a product for sale to unrelated third parties.

Sharing Within the Udyat Group

Udyat operates across multiple businesses and sectors, including infrastructure, real estate, technology and innovation, ventures and education.

Information submitted through the corporate Website may therefore be shared with the relevant Udyat business or group entity when reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, evaluate an opportunity, process an employment application or otherwise fulfil the purpose for which the information was provided.

For example, an enquiry concerning a particular business vertical may be forwarded to personnel responsible for that business.

Personal information shared within the Group remains subject to appropriate confidentiality, security and applicable legal requirements.

International Data Transfers

Udyat operates and engages with stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions. Certain information may therefore be accessed, processed, stored or transferred outside the jurisdiction from which it was originally collected where necessary for legitimate business, technology, operational or support purposes.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, Udyat will seek to handle such transfers in accordance with applicable data protection law, including any restrictions or safeguards applicable to cross-border processing from time to time.

International transfers will not alter the purpose for which personal information was originally collected.

How Long We Retain Personal Information

Udyat retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, contractual and operational requirements.

Retention periods may depend upon:

• the nature and purpose of the information;
• whether an enquiry or business relationship remains active;
• recruitment and future employment requirements;
• legal or regulatory record-keeping requirements;
• contractual obligations;
• security and fraud-prevention requirements;
• the need to establish or defend legal claims; and
• applicable limitation periods.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our operational processes.

Data Security

Udyat recognises the importance of protecting personal information and seeks to implement reasonable administrative, organisational and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.

These measures may include:

• access controls;
• authentication and account-management controls;
• secure hosting and infrastructure practices;
• network and Website security controls;
• malware and threat protection;
• appropriate backup and recovery measures;
• restricted access to personal information;
• vendor and service-provider controls;
• security monitoring; and
• internal confidentiality requirements.

No method of electronic transmission, online service or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while we take reasonable measures to protect information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

If we become aware of a personal data breach, we will assess and respond to the incident and provide notifications where required under applicable law.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the applicable law, nature of processing and jurisdiction, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• request information about personal data processed by us;
• request access to your personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate or misleading personal information;
• request completion of incomplete information;
• request erasure or deletion where legally applicable;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent and withdrawal is legally available;
• raise a grievance concerning processing of your data;
• nominate another individual to exercise applicable rights in circumstances recognised by law; and
• exercise any other right available under applicable data protection law.

Privacy rights are subject to applicable legal conditions, exemptions, verification requirements and the provisions of law in force at the relevant time.

To exercise a privacy right, contact us at info@udyat.com.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity and locate the relevant records before acting on a request.

Requests for Data Deletion

You may request deletion of personal information that you have provided through the Udyat Website where deletion is available under applicable law and the information is no longer required for a lawful purpose.

Requests can be submitted using the process explained on our dedicated User Data Deletion page or by contacting info@udyat.com.

Certain information may need to be retained despite a deletion request where retention is necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, maintain security, establish or defend legal claims, enforce agreements or fulfil another lawful requirement.

Where deletion cannot be completed, we may inform the requester of the reason to the extent required and permitted by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

The Udyat corporate Website is intended primarily for corporate, professional and general informational audiences and is not designed as a service directed specifically at children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the general corporate contact or career facilities without an appropriate lawful basis or authorisation.

Udyat's education businesses and educational institutions may operate separate websites and digital systems that involve students, parents and guardians. Such services may be governed by separate privacy notices, consent processes and safeguards appropriate to their specific activities.

If a parent or lawful guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information to the corporate Website inappropriately, they may contact info@udyat.com.

Third-Party Websites and Platforms

The Udyat Website may contain links to websites, social media services, platforms, businesses, educational institutions or other online resources that are not operated directly through udyat.com.

This Privacy Policy does not govern how independent third parties process personal information.

We encourage users to review the privacy policy of any external website or service before providing personal information to that service.

A link from the Udyat Website to another website does not, by itself, mean that Udyat controls that website's privacy or security practices.

Business and Service Communications

Where you submit an enquiry, application or request, Udyat may contact you using the details you provide for purposes connected with that interaction.

Such communications may include responses to enquiries, business discussions, recruitment communications, meeting coordination, administrative updates and other communications reasonably related to your request.

Where Udyat sends promotional or marketing communications that require consent or provide an opt-out right under applicable law, appropriate consent or unsubscribe mechanisms will be used.

Requests to stop marketing communications will not necessarily prevent Udyat from sending non-promotional communications that are necessary for an active enquiry, transaction, legal requirement or ongoing business relationship.

Applicable Privacy Framework

Udyat seeks to process personal information in accordance with applicable Indian law and other data protection requirements that apply to a particular processing activity.

This includes, to the extent in force and applicable from time to time, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the rules made under that Act, applicable provisions of India's information technology framework and other relevant legal requirements.

Because privacy and data protection requirements continue to develop, Udyat may update its processes, notices and this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in applicable law and regulatory guidance.

Where another jurisdiction's privacy law applies to a particular processing activity, Udyat will seek to address the requirements applicable to that activity.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Udyat may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our Website, technologies, business operations, processing activities or applicable legal requirements.

When an updated Privacy Policy is published, the "Last Updated" date shown at the top of this page will be revised.

Where required by applicable law, we may provide additional notice or seek consent before implementing a material change affecting how personal information is processed.

We encourage users to review this page periodically to remain informed about our privacy practices.
