Privacy Policy

IndiaFirst Startup, an initiative of All India Council for Robotics & Automation (AICRA), is committed to protecting the privacy of the users of its website and services. This privacy statement describes how ISM collects and uses the personal information you provide on our public websites and the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information.

We take your data seriously. Our policy applies to all information collected or submitted through our website, event registration portals, award nomination forms, and any other digital channels associated with Startup Mahakumbh.

How We Use Your Information

The personal information that ISM collects will depend on how you are using IndiaFirst Startup websites and services. Below are the ways in which we may collect and use your data:

  • We may collect personally identifiable information you submit to us on our websites, and in connection with statements you may post on any ISM-related page on social networking sites.
  • We may use Google Analytics to collect website usage data for analysis. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user sessions to collect navigation patterns but never includes names, usernames, or email addresses. Individual IP addresses are collected, but they are not associated with individual users. You may prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by turning off cookies in your browser's preferences settings.
  • We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Safari), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows or macOS), and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
  • To facilitate a payment order through ISM, we may collect your name, postal address, email address and other necessary transactional information. We collect but do not store your credit card details — these are processed through our third-party payment service providers.
  • To enable your access to ISM services, we may collect information concerning your internet protocol address, your username and password, or other authentication methods.
  • In some instances, ISM may be legally obligated to collect and provide your personally identifiable information to third parties. In such cases, the privacy policy governing that collection shall be as set forth in such third parties' privacy policies.

Data Security: We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data transmissions are encrypted using SSL/TLS technology.

Access, Erasure & Correction

Upon request, ISM will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. If you would like to review, delete, or update your information, you may contact us using the contact information below.

We will permit correction, amendment, or deletion of information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate. We will respond to your request to info@aicra.org within a reasonable timeframe.

Please note, because of the way we maintain certain services, legal regulations require certain information to be retained. Residual copies of modified information may take a period of time before they are updated on active servers and may remain in our backup systems.

You will need to provide sufficient information, such as your name and other possible identifying information, as a security precaution when making any such request.

Notification of Privacy Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes to our information practices. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

When we make significant changes to this policy, we will notify registered users via email and display a prominent notice on our website for a reasonable period of time following the update.

Your continued use of our website and services after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
