Privacy policy

1. Who we are

This website is run by Algometis IT Pvt. Ltd. (“Algometis”, “we”, “us”). We decide why and how the personal data collected through this website is used. Indian law calls this role a “data fiduciary”.

2. What this policy covers

It covers personal data we handle when you visit this website, answer our “Start here” questions, send us an enquiry, or ask about training. Information we receive while delivering a client project is handled under that client’s agreement and confidentiality terms, not under this policy.

We handle personal data in line with Indian law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules, as they come into force.

3. Information we collect

• Details you send us: your name, email address, an optional message, the topic you are interested in, your industry or the training track you chose, when you would like to start, and how you prefer to be contacted.
• Your answers to the “Start here” questions. These stay in your browser. They are used only to suggest a service or track and to pre-fill the contact form, and they reach us only if you send the form.
• Preferences saved in your browser: your light or dark theme and your best score in the Bug Hunt game. These stay on your device.
• Technical data: like most websites, our hosting provider may log your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and reliability.
• Fonts: this site may load web fonts from Google Fonts. When it does, your browser contacts Google’s servers, and Google receives your IP address and browser details.

4. How we use your information

We use the details you send us to:

• respond to your enquiry;
• understand your needs and prepare a plan or quote;
• arrange a call, an audit or a free demo class;
• send you syllabus, batch and fee information for training, by email;
• keep a record of our communication;
• keep the website secure and improve it; and
• meet our legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it to make automated decisions that have legal effects on you. We will not add you to a marketing list unless you separately agree.

5. Why we are allowed to use it

You send us your details voluntarily and ask us to respond, and we use them with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing does not affect what we did before, but it may mean we can no longer respond to your enquiry.

6. Who we share it with

We share personal data only as needed, with:

• service providers that help us run the website and handle enquiries, such as hosting, email, forms, scheduling and customer-relationship tools. They act on our instructions and must protect the data;
• professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants, who are bound by confidentiality;
• authorities, when the law requires us to; and
• a successor business, if Algometis is merged with or sold to another company, with the same protections for your data.

7. Where your data is processed

Our service providers may store or process data in India or in other countries. We choose providers that apply appropriate safeguards, and we follow Indian law on transfers of personal data outside India.

8. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry details for as long as we need them to handle your enquiry and any resulting work, and for a reasonable time afterwards to answer follow-up questions and keep records. We then delete or anonymise them. If you ask us to erase your data, we will, unless the law requires us to keep it.

9. How we protect it

We use reasonable security safeguards, such as encryption in transit, access limited to people who need it, and providers that take security seriously. No system is completely secure. If a personal data breach affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

10. Your rights

Under Indian data protection law you can:

• ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how we use it;
• ask us to correct or update it;
• ask us to erase it;
• withdraw your consent;
• raise a grievance about how we handle your data; and
• nominate another person to exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to act.

To use any of these rights, email info@algometis.com, or use the contact form on this website and choose “Privacy or data request”. We may ask you to confirm who you are first. We will acknowledge your request and respond within the time the law requires. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India in the way the law provides.

11. Children

This website is meant for adults. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without the verifiable consent of a parent or guardian, as the law requires.

12. Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. This site stores your theme choice and your Bug Hunt score in your browser’s local storage, and you can clear them in your browser settings at any time. If we add analytics in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where the law requires.

13. Links to other websites

This site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with a new “last updated” date and, if the changes are significant, tell you in a clear way.

15. Contact us
