How DotConn Private Limited collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal information across our website and related digital interactions.
DotConn Private Limited (“DotConn”, “we”, “our” or “us”) respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, communicate with us, enquire about our services, apply for employment, or otherwise interact with us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, store, share and protect personal information through the DotConn website and related digital interactions.
We aim to handle personal data responsibly and in accordance with applicable Indian laws, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) and applicable rules and regulations, as and when the relevant provisions apply to us. The DPDP framework requires consent, where relied upon, to be free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, and gives individuals mechanisms relating to their personal data.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawful before the withdrawal, and certain information may continue to be retained or processed where required or permitted by applicable law.

4. Website forms
Information submitted through forms such as Start a Conversation, Contact Us, Request a Consultation, Careers / Apply and Send Your Résumé will be used for the purpose for which the information was submitted and for reasonably related business communication.

Such access is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and subject to appropriate contractual or confidentiality obligations where applicable.

7. International processing
Some of the technology and cloud services used by DotConn may process or store information outside India.
Where personal data is transferred or processed internationally, DotConn will seek to handle such processing in accordance with applicable Indian data-protection requirements and any restrictions or safeguards applicable at the relevant time.
