Rishishwar Industry Private Limited
Last Updated: 25 October 2026

Rishishwar Industry Private Limited (“RIPL”, “Rishishwar Industry”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, communicate with us, submit enquiries, participate in our programmes, request business, funding, market expansion or other services, or otherwise interact with us through our digital platforms and business channels.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, receive, use, process, store, disclose, protect and otherwise handle information relating to individuals who interact with RIPL.

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide a clear and comprehensive explanation of our privacy practices. It applies to information collected through our website, online forms, enquiry forms, registration forms, applications, landing pages, digital campaigns, event registrations, business communications and other online or offline interactions where this Privacy Policy is made available or referenced.

By accessing or using our website or voluntarily providing information to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires us to obtain your consent for a particular processing activity, we will seek such consent through an appropriate mechanism.

1. ABOUT RISHISHWAR INDUSTRY PRIVATE LIMITED

Because our activities may involve evaluating business requirements, understanding commercial opportunities, communicating with partners, assessing applications, facilitating business introductions or coordinating services, certain interactions may require more information than a normal website enquiry.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably relevant to the particular purpose for which it is collected.

2. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information and other information collected or processed by RIPL through or in connection with:

This Privacy Policy does not necessarily apply to websites, applications or services operated independently by third parties, even where such third-party services are linked from our website.

Those third parties may maintain their own privacy policies and terms, and you should review them before providing information directly to those parties.

Fraud prevention;
Debugging;

13. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage or similar technologies.

Cookies are small data files or identifiers that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

We may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

Website functionality;
Session management;
Security;
Remembering preferences;
Understanding website usage;
Measuring performance;
Improving user experience;
Analytics;
Marketing or campaign measurement where applicable.

The actual cookies and technologies used may change as our website and technology infrastructure evolves.

Where applicable, you may control certain cookie settings through your browser or a cookie-management mechanism made available on the website.

Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

14. ANALYTICS AND WEBSITE PERFORMANCE

We may use analytics or website-performance technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.

Depending on the technologies actually implemented, such services may collect information such as:

Pages visited;
Approximate session duration;
Device type;

Analytics information helps us understand website performance and improve our content, navigation and services.

Where third-party analytics services are used, their processing may also be subject to the relevant provider's privacy policy and terms.

If you voluntarily provide your contact information or otherwise interact with RIPL in a manner indicating interest in our services, we may use your information to communicate with you regarding:

Your enquiry;
Requested services;
Business opportunities;
Programmes;
Events;
Funding-related opportunities;
Partnership opportunities;

Relevant business information.

Where applicable law requires consent for promotional communications, we will seek consent through an appropriate mechanism.

However, even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may continue to send essential communications relating to an active enquiry, transaction, application, programme, security matter or other necessary business relationship.

16. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use personal information for purposes including:

Responding to enquiries;
Providing requested information;
Understanding business requirements;
Evaluating service requirements;
Connecting you with the appropriate RIPL team;
Managing business relationships;
Processing applications;

Communicating important service-related information.

We may also use information for other purposes where those purposes are reasonably connected with the purpose for which the information was originally collected, or where permitted or required by applicable law.

17. DATA MINIMISATION

RIPL seeks to follow a principle of reasonable data minimisation.

This means that we aim to collect information that is relevant and reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is requested.

For example, a general website enquiry may not require the same information as a detailed funding or business assessment application.

You should therefore avoid submitting unnecessary personal, financial, identification or confidential information unless the relevant form or RIPL representative specifically requests it for a legitimate purpose.

18. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to RIPL is accurate, complete and reasonably up to date.

Providing false, misleading, fraudulent or unauthorised information may affect our ability to process your request and may result in appropriate action where required.

If you discover that information submitted to us is incorrect, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

19. CONSENT

Where we rely on consent as the basis for processing personal information, we intend to obtain consent through an appropriate affirmative action or mechanism.

Consent may be provided through:

Submission of an online form;
Selection of a consent checkbox;
Registration for a programme;
Submission of an application;
Other appropriate digital or written mechanisms.

Where applicable law provides a right to withdraw consent, you may request withdrawal by contacting us.

Withdrawal of consent does not necessarily affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal.

Further, withdrawal may affect our ability to provide a service where the relevant information is necessary for that service.

20. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

RIPL does not sell personal information as a commercial product.

However, we may share information where reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, operate our business, provide requested services, comply with law or protect our rights.

Depending on the circumstances, information may be shared with:

RIPL employees and authorised representatives;
Internal business teams;
Professional advisers;
Technology and hosting providers;
Communication service providers;
Analytics providers;
IT and cybersecurity providers;
Business service providers;
Event or programme service providers;
Funding or investment ecosystem participants where relevant;
Business partners where necessary for a requested service;
Government authorities where legally required;
Law enforcement agencies where legally required;
Courts, tribunals or regulatory authorities;
Other parties where you have specifically authorised or requested the disclosure.

We aim to limit disclosure to information reasonably relevant to the purpose.

21. SHARING WITH FUNDING OR BUSINESS PARTNERS

For example, relevant information may be shared with:

Funding partners;
Investors;
Business partners;
Programme evaluators;
Professional advisers;
Service providers;
Other parties involved in the relevant opportunity.

We do not intend to disclose all information you provide to every party.

The information shared should generally be limited to what is reasonably relevant to the particular opportunity.

Where a particular disclosure requires consent under applicable law, we will seek the appropriate consent.

You should not submit information that you do not wish to be considered for such sharing.

22. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND DATA PROCESSORS

We may use third-party service providers to operate our website and business infrastructure.

Such providers may support functions including:

Website hosting;
Cloud infrastructure;
Email delivery;
Communication;
Analytics;
Security;
Database management;
Customer relationship management;
Form processing;
Document storage;
Payment processing;
Event registration;
Technical support.

These providers may process information on our behalf or as independent controllers depending on the service and applicable legal framework.

We seek to use providers that are appropriate for the relevant service and take reasonable steps to protect information entrusted to them.

23. THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGY

Our website may use third-party technologies or integrations.

Examples may include:

Website analytics;
Maps;
Payment gateways;
Communication platforms;
CRM systems;
Cloud services;
Form systems;
Social media integrations;
Authentication services;
Security services.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies.

Where information is directly collected by a third party through its own platform, that third party's privacy policy may also apply.

We recommend reviewing the privacy notices of such services where appropriate.

24. PAYMENT INFORMATION

If our website or services support payment functionality, payments may be processed through third-party payment service providers.

RIPL may not directly store complete payment card details where payment processing is handled by an external payment provider.

Payment information may be processed by the relevant payment provider in accordance with its privacy policy, security practices and applicable legal requirements.

You should never submit complete card numbers, CVV numbers, passwords, PINs or similar sensitive payment credentials through a general enquiry form or ordinary email unless a secure payment process specifically requires it.

25. FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS DOCUMENTS

Certain business, funding or programme-related processes may require documents or information such as financial statements, business registrations, tax information, business plans, pitch decks or other supporting material.

Where such information is requested, it should be submitted only through the channel designated for that purpose.

We may use such information to:

Assess a business requirement;
Evaluate an application;
Conduct due diligence;
Understand business performance;
Determine eligibility;
Facilitate an introduction;
Provide requested services;
Comply with applicable legal or contractual requirements.

We will not intentionally request sensitive financial information through a general website form unless it is reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.

26. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION

If you voluntarily submit confidential business information to RIPL, we will handle it in accordance with applicable contractual, legal and operational obligations.

However, submitting information through a general website form does not automatically create a separate confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement.

If you intend to disclose highly confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, proprietary technology, unpublished inventions, strategic information or other commercially sensitive material, you should first determine whether an appropriate confidentiality agreement is required.

RIPL is not responsible for confidentiality obligations that have not been expressly agreed in writing.

27. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND USER-SUBMITTED MATERIAL

Where you submit documents, presentations, photographs, videos, business plans, pitch decks, trademarks, logos or other material to RIPL, you represent that you have the right to provide such material.

You should not submit material belonging to another person or organisation without appropriate authorisation.

Submission of material does not automatically transfer ownership of your intellectual property to RIPL.

However, RIPL may need a limited right to access, review, reproduce, transmit or use the submitted material for the purpose for which you provided it.

Any separate intellectual property or programme terms will continue to apply where applicable.

28. DATA SECURITY

RIPL takes reasonable technical, organisational and administrative measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, loss or destruction.

Depending on the nature of the information and technology environment, measures may include:

Access controls;
Authentication mechanisms;
Password protection;
Role-based access;
Secure hosting;
Encryption where appropriate;
Network and application security;
Security monitoring;
Backup mechanisms;
Employee awareness;
Access limitation;
Vendor controls;
Incident management procedures.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

29. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCOUNT AND DEVICE SECURITY

If you create an account or use a password-protected service provided by RIPL, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

You should:

Use strong passwords;
Avoid sharing passwords;
Log out from shared devices;
Keep your devices reasonably secure;
Notify us if you suspect unauthorised access.

RIPL will not be responsible for security incidents caused primarily by your failure to protect your credentials or device, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

30. DATA INCIDENTS AND SECURITY EVENTS

Despite reasonable safeguards, security incidents may occur.

If RIPL becomes aware of a personal data breach or security incident affecting personal information, we may take steps appropriate to the nature and severity of the incident.

Such steps may include:

Investigating the incident;
Containing the incident;
Restoring affected systems;
Assessing potential impact;
Taking corrective measures;
Notifying affected individuals where required;
Notifying regulatory authorities where required;
Cooperating with relevant authorities;
Strengthening security measures.

Notifications will be made in accordance with applicable law.

31. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for other lawful purposes.

The appropriate retention period may depend upon:

Nature of the information;
Purpose of collection;
Business relationship;
Contractual requirements;
Legal requirements;
Accounting requirements;
Dispute resolution;
Fraud prevention;
Security requirements;
Legitimate business record-keeping requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably required and there is no legal or legitimate reason to retain it, we may delete, anonymise or otherwise securely dispose of it.

32. DELETION OF INFORMATION

Subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements, you may request deletion of personal information held by RIPL.

A deletion request may not always result in immediate or complete deletion.

For example, information may need to be retained where necessary for:

Compliance with law;
Legal claims;
Dispute resolution;
Fraud prevention;
Security;
Accounting;
Contractual obligations;
Regulatory requirements;
Protection of legal rights.

Where deletion is appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to process the request.

33. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the ability to:

Request information about processing;
Request correction of inaccurate information;
Request updating of information;
Request deletion where legally available;
Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;
Raise a privacy-related complaint;
Exercise other rights available under applicable law.

The scope and manner of exercising these rights may depend upon the applicable legal framework and the nature of the information concerned.

To make a request, contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

34. IDENTITY VERIFICATION

For certain privacy requests, RIPL may need to verify the identity or authority of the person making the request.

This is intended to prevent unauthorised individuals from obtaining, modifying or deleting another person's information.

We may therefore request reasonable information necessary to verify the request.

We will seek to avoid collecting unnecessary information for identity verification.

35. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

Where processing is based on your consent, you may request withdrawal of consent.

Withdrawal of consent does not make previous lawful processing unlawful.

Further, withdrawal may not be possible where another lawful basis or legal obligation permits or requires continued processing.

If withdrawal prevents us from providing a requested service, we may explain the resulting limitation.

36. PRIVACY COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES

If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, you may contact RIPL.

We encourage individuals to first contact us so that we can understand and address the concern.

Your communication should preferably include:

Your name;
Contact information;
Nature of the concern;
Relevant enquiry or application reference, if available;
Details reasonably necessary for us to investigate the matter.

We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to investigate and respond.

We intend to handle privacy complaints in accordance with applicable law and our internal procedures.

37. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

If a parent, guardian or other authorised person believes that a child has provided personal information to us improperly, they may contact us.

Where legally appropriate, we may take reasonable steps to investigate and delete such information.

38. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to websites, applications, social media platforms or services operated by third parties.

These links may be provided for convenience or informational purposes.

RIPL does not control the privacy practices of those third parties.

When you leave our website, the third party's own privacy policy and terms may apply.

We encourage you to review the privacy notice of any third-party website before providing personal information.

39. SOCIAL MEDIA

RIPL may maintain or use social media profiles and may provide links to social media platforms through its website.

If you interact with RIPL through a social media platform, information may also be processed by that platform.

Your interaction with those platforms is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

Comments, messages or information voluntarily posted publicly may be visible to other users.

You should avoid posting confidential personal, financial or business information publicly.

40. BUSINESS COMMUNICATION THROUGH MESSAGING PLATFORMS

RIPL may use communication channels such as email, telephone, SMS, WhatsApp or other messaging platforms for business communication where appropriate.

The use of a third-party messaging platform may result in information being processed by that platform.

We may use such channels to:

Respond to enquiries;
Schedule meetings;
Share requested information;
Follow up on applications;
Coordinate business activities;
Communicate programme updates;
Provide service-related information.

You should not send highly sensitive information through ordinary messaging channels unless RIPL specifically directs you to use a secure mechanism.

41. INTERNATIONAL DATA PROCESSING

Depending on the technology providers, cloud infrastructure, communication services or other third-party services used by RIPL, information may be processed or stored outside India.

Where this occurs, RIPL will seek to handle such processing in accordance with applicable law and appropriate contractual or organisational safeguards where required.

Different jurisdictions may have different privacy laws.

Where required, we will take appropriate steps in relation to cross-border processing.

Required by a government or regulatory authority;
Necessary to investigate fraud;
Necessary to protect the safety of individuals;
Necessary to protect RIPL's rights or property;
Necessary to enforce contractual or legal rights;
Necessary to respond to lawful requests.

Where legally permitted, we may take reasonable steps to notify affected individuals before such disclosure.

However, notification may not be possible where prohibited by law or where doing so could interfere with a legal investigation or process.

43. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS

If RIPL undergoes or considers a corporate transaction such as:

Merger;
Acquisition;
Restructuring;
Sale of assets;
Business transfer;
Investment;
Reorganisation;

personal information may be included among the business records relevant to such transaction, subject to applicable law.

Fraud;
Identity misuse;
Fake applications;
Spam;
Automated abuse;
Unauthorised access;

Website support;
Data organisation;
Communication assistance;

Where automated systems are used, RIPL seeks to use them responsibly and in accordance with applicable law.

Where a particular decision has significant consequences for an individual and applicable law requires human involvement or other safeguards, appropriate measures should be considered.

46. INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM OTHER SOURCES

In some circumstances, we may receive information from sources other than you.

For example, information may be received through:

Business partners;
Referral partners;
Event organisers;
Publicly available business sources;
Professional networks;
Service providers;
Representatives acting on your behalf;
Information you have authorised another party to share.

Where such information constitutes personal data and applicable law imposes obligations on RIPL, we will handle it accordingly.

47. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Information that you voluntarily make publicly available, such as information published on a public business website, professional profile or public social media account, may be accessible to RIPL and others.

The fact that information is publicly available does not necessarily mean it may be used for every purpose.

RIPL will seek to use publicly available personal information only for legitimate business purposes and in accordance with applicable law.

When using our website or submitting information to RIPL, you should:

Provide accurate information;

Avoid sharing passwords through general forms;
Avoid uploading confidential third-party information without permission;

49. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF THIRD PARTIES

If you provide information concerning another individual, company, employee, customer, supplier, investor or other third party, you should ensure that you have the lawful authority or permission required to provide that information.

RIPL should not be used as a channel for unauthorised disclosure of another person's personal information.

Where appropriate, we may ask you to confirm that you have the authority to provide information concerning another individual.

This may include:

Communication;
Business administration;

Where a separate employee, candidate or contractor privacy notice applies, that notice may supplement or replace portions of this Privacy Policy.

51. WEBSITE SECURITY AND AVAILABILITY

We may use security measures designed to protect the website from unauthorised access, malicious traffic, automated attacks and other threats.

However, internet-based services may occasionally experience:

Technical failures;
Downtime;
Security incidents;
Network interruptions;
Maintenance;
Third-party service failures.

RIPL does not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted or completely free from security vulnerabilities.

52. DATA ACCURACY AND BUSINESS DECISIONS

Information submitted through the website may be used as a preliminary basis for responding to an enquiry or evaluating a business requirement.

RIPL may rely on information supplied by the individual or organisation submitting it.

We are not responsible for decisions made solely because information submitted by a user was incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or misleading.

Where a business process requires independent verification, RIPL may request supporting documentation.

53. NO GUARANTEE OF FUNDING OR COMMERCIAL OUTCOME

Any such outcome may depend on independent evaluation, eligibility, due diligence, commercial considerations, third-party decisions, regulatory requirements and other factors.

54. DATA USED FOR BUSINESS ANALYSIS

Where you voluntarily provide information for business research, analysis or strategy-related services, RIPL may process such information to understand:

Business requirements;
Market conditions;
Customer needs;
Distribution requirements;
Expansion opportunities;
Operational challenges;
Business performance;
Growth objectives.

Where appropriate, information may also be aggregated or anonymised for analytical purposes.

Aggregated or anonymised information that no longer reasonably identifies an individual may be used for legitimate business purposes, subject to applicable law.

55. AGGREGATED AND ANONYMISED INFORMATION

RIPL may create aggregated or anonymised information from data collected through its website or business operations.

For example, we may analyse general trends such as:

Number of enquiries;
General geographic distribution;
Business categories;
Website traffic;
Programme participation;
Market interest;
Service demand.

Where information has been properly anonymised so that individuals cannot reasonably be identified, such information may be used for analytics, reporting, business planning, research or improvement purposes.

Information may be retained where reasonably necessary for:

Legal compliance;
Accounting;
Tax;
Audit;
Dispute resolution;
Contract records;
Fraud prevention;
Security;
Historical business records;
Defence or establishment of legal claims.

Once the relevant retention purpose ends, information may be deleted or anonymised in accordance with applicable processes.

57. PRIVACY OF COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS

Where a commercial transaction involves multiple parties, each party may independently process personal information.

RIPL's Privacy Policy applies to RIPL's own processing activities.

If you enter into a separate agreement with a third party introduced or connected through RIPL, the privacy practices of that third party may be governed by its own privacy policy and contractual terms.

You should review such terms independently before providing additional information.

58. THIRD-PARTY DATA RECEIVED THROUGH PARTNERS

If a business partner, referral partner or other organisation provides RIPL with information about you, the partner should ensure that it has the necessary authority to provide that information.

RIPL may process such information for the purpose for which it was legitimately provided.

Where applicable, we may rely on representations made by the referring or providing organisation regarding its authority to share such information.

59. PRIVACY AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE

RIPL intends to process personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations.

For operations in India, this may include applicable provisions of the:

Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023;
Rules, notifications and subordinate legislation made under applicable data protection law;
Information Technology laws and rules, where applicable;
Other applicable central or state laws and regulations.

The legal framework may evolve over time.

Accordingly, RIPL may update its practices and this Privacy Policy when required to reflect applicable legal, regulatory, technological or operational developments.

60. APPLICABLE LAW AND PHASED IMPLEMENTATION

Privacy laws and regulations may contain provisions that become applicable at different times or under different conditions.

Accordingly, references in this Privacy Policy to legal rights, obligations or mechanisms should be interpreted subject to the provisions that are legally applicable to the relevant processing activity at the relevant time.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to create rights that are unavailable under applicable law or to restrict mandatory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

RIPL may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes may be made due to:

Changes in law;
Changes in technology;
Changes in our business;
Changes in our services;
Changes in data-processing practices;
Changes in third-party service providers;
Regulatory developments;
Security or operational requirements.

When we make material changes, we may update the “Last Updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.

You should periodically review this Privacy Policy to remain informed about our privacy practices.

62. NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to waive, limit or exclude any legal right that cannot lawfully be waived or excluded.

Where applicable law provides a mandatory protection to an individual, that protection will continue to apply regardless of any provision of this Privacy Policy.

63. INTERPRETATION

If any provision of this Privacy Policy is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions will continue to the extent legally permissible.

The invalid or unenforceable provision should be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it legally effective where such interpretation is permitted.

64. PRIVACY POLICY AND OTHER TERMS

This Privacy Policy should be read together with any applicable:

Where a specific service contains a separate privacy notice or consent mechanism, that notice may provide additional information relevant to that particular activity.

Although we take reasonable precautions, email and ordinary internet communication may not provide the same level of security as dedicated secure portals.

You should therefore avoid sending highly sensitive information, passwords, authentication codes, complete payment-card information or other information that should not ordinarily be transmitted through unsecured communication channels.

Where RIPL provides a dedicated secure submission mechanism, you should use that mechanism for the relevant information.

68. PHISHING AND FRAUD WARNING

RIPL will not ordinarily request your password, one-time authentication code, ATM PIN, card PIN or similar authentication credentials through an unsolicited email or ordinary website enquiry.

If you receive a communication claiming to be from RIPL that appears suspicious, do not provide sensitive information until you independently verify the communication.

You may contact RIPL through our official contact details if you believe someone is improperly using the RIPL name or brand.

69. INFORMATION SECURITY DISCLAIMER

While RIPL makes reasonable efforts to protect information, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure.

Therefore, RIPL cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed due to circumstances outside our reasonable control.

This does not reduce any mandatory obligations imposed on RIPL under applicable law.

70. REASONABLE SECURITY EXPECTATION

Our objective is to maintain reasonable and proportionate security safeguards based on the nature and risk associated with the information we process.

Security measures may evolve over time.

We may implement additional controls where our technology environment, business activities, risk profile or legal obligations require them.

71. YOUR COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES

You may communicate your preferences regarding non-essential communications.

Where technically and legally feasible, we may provide mechanisms to:

Unsubscribe from promotional email;
Opt out of certain marketing communications;
Request communication through a preferred channel;
Withdraw certain optional permissions.

Essential communications relating to an active service, transaction, application, security issue or legal requirement may continue even after marketing preferences are changed.

72. PRIVACY OF WEBSITE VISITORS

A visitor may generally browse informational portions of the website without directly submitting personal information.

However, certain technical information may automatically be processed by the website or its infrastructure.

If you choose to use an enquiry, application, registration or other interactive feature, additional information may be collected based on the relevant purpose.

73. PRIVACY OF BUSINESS PARTNERS

Business partners may provide contact information of their representatives for legitimate business purposes.

RIPL may process such information for:

Partnership management;
Communication;
Meetings;
Contract administration;
Service delivery;
Business coordination;
Compliance.

Partners should ensure that any personal information provided to RIPL is shared lawfully.

74. CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES

As our website and business operations evolve, we may introduce new technologies or services.

For example, we may introduce:

New forms;
Customer relationship systems;
Analytics tools;
Communication systems;
Payment systems;
Security systems;
Online application platforms;
Business programme platforms.

If such changes materially affect how personal information is processed, we may update this Privacy Policy or provide additional notices where appropriate.

75. WEBSITE FORMS AND CONSENT NOTICES

Different forms on the RIPL website may contain specific notices or consent statements.

Where a form provides a specific privacy notice, the information provided in that notice should be read together with this Privacy Policy.

A form may explain:

Why information is required;
Which information is mandatory;
How information will be used;
Whether information may be shared;
How consent can be withdrawn;
Where to contact RIPL.

Complete payment-card information;
Private encryption keys;
Highly sensitive authentication credentials;
Confidential information belonging to another person;
Unauthorised personal information of third parties.

If such information is accidentally submitted, contact RIPL as soon as reasonably possible.

77. BUSINESS RECORDS

RIPL may maintain records of business enquiries, communications, applications, agreements and transactions.

These records may contain personal information where an individual is associated with the relevant business relationship.

Business records may be retained for legitimate operational, legal, accounting, audit, security or dispute-resolution purposes.

78. LEGITIMATE BUSINESS INTERESTS

Where permitted by applicable law, RIPL may process information for legitimate business purposes such as:

Maintaining website security;
Preventing fraud;
Managing business relationships;
Maintaining records;
Improving services;
Responding to communications;
Managing operations;
Protecting legal rights;
Complying with contractual obligations.

Such processing will remain subject to applicable legal requirements.

79. COMPLIANCE WITH REQUESTS FROM AUTHORITIES

Where RIPL receives a valid legal request from a government authority, court, regulator or law-enforcement agency, we may be required to disclose relevant information.

We will assess such requests and respond in accordance with applicable law.

Where permitted, we may challenge or seek clarification of requests that appear invalid or excessively broad.

80. PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT CREATE A CONTRACTUAL SERVICE GUARANTEE

This Privacy Policy explains privacy and data-processing practices.

It does not by itself constitute:

An offer of funding;
An investment agreement;
A service agreement;
A guarantee of business support;
A guarantee of commercial success;
A guarantee of data security;
A partnership agreement.

Separate agreements may apply to particular services or programmes.

81. NO GUARANTEE OF COMPLETE ANONYMITY

While we may provide certain services without requiring extensive personal information, users should understand that internet-based services may involve technical information such as IP addresses, device information or server logs.

Accordingly, complete anonymity cannot always be guaranteed.

82. INFORMATION PROVIDED VOLUNTARILY

Where information is voluntarily submitted to RIPL, you acknowledge that you are providing the information for the purpose associated with the relevant interaction.

You should consider carefully what information you submit.

Where the information is unnecessary for the stated purpose, we encourage you not to provide it.

83. PRIVACY IN OFFLINE INTERACTIONS

This Privacy Policy may also apply to information collected offline where the relevant communication, form, programme or business process specifically references this Privacy Policy.

Offline information may include information collected during:

Business meetings;
Events;
Conferences;
Programme activities;
Business discussions;
Partner interactions;
Written applications.

Additional notices may apply where appropriate.

84. DATA PROTECTION BY DESIGN

RIPL aims, where reasonably practicable, to consider privacy and data protection when introducing new systems, forms, processes and technologies.

This may include considering:

What information is necessary;
Who requires access;
How long information should be retained;
Security requirements;
Third-party processing;
User transparency;
Applicable legal requirements.

The specific controls implemented may vary depending on the nature and risk of the processing activity.

85. ACCESS CONTROL

Access to personal information within RIPL should generally be limited to persons who require access for legitimate business, operational, legal or security purposes.

Access may be based on role, responsibility and business necessity.

Where appropriate, access may be removed when an individual's role or business requirement ends.

86. DATA STORAGE

Personal information may be stored in systems operated by RIPL or by authorised service providers.

These systems may include:

Cloud storage;
Databases;
CRM systems;
Email systems;
Business applications;
Document management systems;
Hosting infrastructure.

The specific storage environment may change over time.

87. DATA TRANSFER

Where personal information needs to be transferred between RIPL systems, employees, service providers or authorised partners, RIPL may use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and transfer.

Such transfers may be necessary to process enquiries, provide services, manage programmes or operate business infrastructure.

88. INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS

If you provide information about another person, such as a business partner, employee, customer, founder, director or representative, you should ensure that you are authorised to do so.

Where necessary, you should inform the relevant person that their information has been provided to RIPL.

89. PRIVACY OF PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS

If you submit information for public display, such as a testimonial, public profile, business story or event participation material, the relevant information may be displayed publicly subject to the applicable consent, terms or programme conditions.

You should not submit information for public display that you expect to remain confidential.

90. PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS AND TESTIMONIALS

RIPL may, where appropriate and with the necessary permission or lawful basis, use photographs, videos, testimonials or similar content relating to events, programmes, business activities or promotional campaigns.

Where required, specific consent or permission may be requested.

If you do not wish your image, testimonial or similar content to be used for a particular promotional purpose, you may contact us regarding the relevant material.

91. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Some features of the RIPL website may depend on third-party services.

If a third-party service becomes unavailable, changes its technology, changes its privacy practices or terminates its service, certain website functionality may be affected.

RIPL may replace, modify or remove third-party integrations when reasonably necessary.

The latest version of this Privacy Policy will be the version published on the relevant RIPL website unless otherwise stated.
