Privacy Policy

RiNVENT Centre of Excellence Pvt Ltd ("we", "our", or "the Company") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website www.rinvent.net.

Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described herein.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our website or submit a form:

A. Information you provide voluntarily:

• Full name and contact details (email address, mobile number)
• Organisation or company name
• Purpose of enquiry and message content
• Career application details including educational qualifications, work experience, skills, and biography
• Family background information (for career applications only, voluntarily submitted)
• Last 4 digits of Aadhaar number and PAN number (text only) — for identity reference in career applications. No Aadhaar or PAN documents are uploaded or stored.
• Resume / CV (PDF or Word format) — for career applications only
• College enrollment number and 10th board roll number — for education verification in career applications
• Talent profile information including department, experience, credits, and portfolio links (auditions/enrollment forms)

B. Biometric and verification data (collected with your explicit action and consent):

• Live photograph: A real-time photo captured via your device camera using blink-based liveness detection. This is required for all form submissions to verify that a real, live person is submitting the form and to prevent identity fraud. The photo is stored securely and used solely for this verification purpose.
• Precise GPS location: Your exact geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, and accuracy in metres) at the time of form submission, along with a human-readable address obtained via reverse geocoding. Location capture is mandatory and requires your explicit browser permission. This is used exclusively for fraud prevention and geographic verification of submissions.
• OTP (One-Time Password) verification: Your mobile number is verified via SMS OTP before form submission. The OTP itself is not stored — only the fact that the number was verified.

C. Device and network information (collected automatically):

When you submit a form on our website, the following technical information is automatically recorded for fraud prevention and security purposes. No user action is required — this information is collected in the background at the time of submission:

• IP address: Your device's public IP address as seen by our server
• Device type: Whether you are using a mobile, tablet, or desktop device
• Operating system: Name and version (e.g. Android 14, iOS 17, Windows 11)
• Browser: Name and version (e.g. Chrome 124, Safari 17, Edge 123)
• Screen resolution: Your device screen dimensions
• Timezone: Your device timezone (e.g. Asia/Kolkata)
• Language: Your browser's configured language (e.g. en-IN)
• Network connection type: General connection category (e.g. 4G, WiFi) and estimated download speed — available on Chrome and Android browsers only; not captured on Safari or Firefox
• Touch capability: Whether your device supports touch input

We do not collect: IMEI numbers, SIM card details, phone numbers from SIM, call logs, contacts, messages, Aadhaar documents, PAN documents, bank account details, passwords, health data, caste, religion, or any other data not explicitly listed above. Such access to device-level data is technically not possible through a standard web browser and would be illegal without explicit regulatory authorisation under Indian law.

How We Use Your Information

We collect and use information for the following specific, lawful purposes. Our legal basis under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is consent (provided at time of form submission) and legitimate interest (for fraud prevention and security):

• To respond to your enquiries, partnership requests, or career applications
• To communicate information about our Smartgrid technology solutions and R&D activities
• Fraud prevention and security: Live photographs, GPS location, device fingerprint, and IP address are collected exclusively to verify the authenticity of form submissions, detect and prevent fraudulent or duplicate submissions, and maintain the integrity of our recruitment and enquiry processes
• Identity verification: Aadhaar and PAN numbers (career applications only) are used solely to verify applicant identity during the recruitment process and are handled with strict confidentiality
• OTP verification: Mobile numbers are verified via SMS OTP to confirm ownership and prevent fake contact submissions
• To improve the content, functionality, and user experience of our website
• To analyse website traffic and usage patterns (in aggregate, anonymised form)
• To comply with applicable legal obligations
• To protect the security and integrity of our website and systems

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies we may use include:

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to function correctly
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g. Google Analytics, if enabled)

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority under applicable Indian law
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction

Data Retention

We follow a purpose-based retention policy in compliance with Section 8(7) of the DPDP Act 2023. Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the stated purpose. The following indicative periods apply — data may be deleted earlier upon your request:

• General enquiries: Up to 24 months from submission date
• Career applications: Up to 36 months from submission date, or as required for recruitment record-keeping
• Talent enrollment: Up to 24 months from submission date
• Live photographs and location data: Retained for the same period as the associated form submission and deleted thereafter
• Identity reference data (Aadhaar last 4, PAN number): Retained with the career application record and deleted when the application record is deleted. No documents are stored.
• Device fingerprint and IP address: Retained for the duration of the associated submission record for fraud prevention purposes
• Hired employee records: Retained as required under Companies Act 2013, Income Tax Act 1961, and applicable labour laws — typically 6 to 8 years. These obligations override DPDP deletion timelines.

Mandatory deletion: Under the DPDP Act 2023, once the purpose of collection is served and the retention period expires, data will be deleted. You may also request early deletion at any time — see Your Rights below. Note: data that we are legally required to retain under other laws (tax, labour, company law) cannot be deleted until those obligations are met.
