Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how RedForge Technologies Pvt Ltd handles personal data collected through teamredforge.com, direct business enquiries, recruitment interactions, and related communications. It is written for practical transparency and to support compliance with applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and related rules, to the extent applicable to our operations.

1. Data fiduciary and website operator

RedForge Technologies Pvt Ltd is the operator of this website and the primary point of responsibility for personal data processed through it.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to personal data we collect or receive from website visitors, prospective customers, partners, vendors, job applicants, and other persons who contact us for lawful business purposes. It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or tools that are not controlled by us, even if linked from this website.

3. Categories of data we may collect

Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, we may process the following categories of information:

• Identity information, such as your name, designation, employer, or professional role
• Contact information, such as your email address, phone number, city, or company details
• Communication information, such as enquiry messages, meeting notes, project context, or support requests
• Recruitment information, such as CVs, portfolios, GitHub profiles, LinkedIn details, work history, or interview notes
• Technical information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, approximate device information, referral source, and basic access logs
• Security and anti-abuse information, such as suspicious traffic patterns, bot detection signals, rate-limit logs, and access anomaly indicators
• Compliance records, such as contractual correspondence, statutory notices, tax or invoicing details, or legal claims data where relevant

4. How we collect data

• Directly from you when you contact us, request information, apply for a role, or otherwise communicate with us
• Automatically through standard web server logs, security tools, and essential technical monitoring
• From public professional sources you choose to share, such as LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio sites, or public company profiles
• From service providers supporting hosting, communication delivery, recruitment administration, or website security

5. Purposes of processing

We process personal data only for legitimate, specific, and proportionate purposes, including:

• Responding to business enquiries, partnership requests, and service discussions
• Reviewing applications, scheduling interviews, and administering recruitment workflows
• Maintaining business records and pre-contract or contractual communications
• Operating, securing, troubleshooting, and improving the website and its performance
• Detecting abuse, spam, malicious automation, or unauthorized access attempts
• Complying with statutory, regulatory, accounting, tax, audit, or dispute-management obligations
• Protecting our legal rights, property, systems, reputation, and users

6. Lawful basis and consent framework

Where you voluntarily provide information to us, we rely on your consent and your request for us to respond or act on that information. We may also process data where necessary for employment-related evaluation, prevention of fraud or abuse, compliance with law, defense of legal claims, performance of contractual or pre-contractual steps, or other uses permitted under applicable law.

Where consent is the basis of processing, you may withdraw it for future processing by contacting us using the channel shown on this page. Withdrawal does not invalidate lawful processing already completed prior to the request.

7. Data sharing and disclosures

We do not sell personal data. We may disclose limited data on a need-to-know basis to:

• Hosting, infrastructure, email, collaboration, or support vendors helping us operate the website and business communications
• Recruitment, HR administration, or interview coordination service providers where relevant
• Professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or legal counsel where necessary for legitimate business or compliance reasons
• Authorities, regulators, law enforcement, or courts where disclosure is required by law, valid process, or legal defense
• Potential transaction counterparties under confidentiality obligations if a corporate restructuring, diligence exercise, merger, or business transfer occurs

8. Cross-border data handling

Some vendors or collaboration tools used by us may process data outside India. Where cross-border access or processing occurs, we use reasonable efforts to work with providers that maintain appropriate security, confidentiality, and access controls consistent with the nature of the data processed.

9. Data retention

We retain personal data only for so long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for longer where retention is necessary for compliance, recordkeeping, disputes, internal audits, security review, or contractual administration.

• General enquiries and business requests: typically up to 12 months unless a further business relationship develops
• Recruitment-related data: as described in the Careers Privacy Notice
• Technical, access, and security logs: retained for a period reasonably required for fraud prevention, abuse detection, performance monitoring, and incident investigation
• Contractual or compliance records: retained according to legal, tax, audit, and dispute-management requirements

10. Security safeguards

We use proportionate administrative, technical, and operational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss. These may include restricted access, trusted service providers, audit trails, monitoring, anti-abuse controls, secure communication workflows, and internal handling discipline. No website or transmission method is completely immune from risk, and we therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your rights and choices

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to the personal data we hold about you, correction or completion of inaccurate information, withdrawal of consent where applicable, deletion of data no longer required, or other assistance available under the law that applies to your interaction with us.

To submit a request, contact email protected and describe the request in enough detail for us to evaluate it. We may ask for information necessary to verify identity and protect against unauthorized requests.

12. Children's data

This website is intended for business, recruitment, and informational use. It is not directed at children for direct account registration or commercial collection of personal data. If we become aware that personal data has been submitted in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we may delete or restrict it as appropriate.

13. Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

We may use essential technical mechanisms and limited analytics or security tools. These are described in more detail in our Cookie Notice. If we introduce non-essential tracking in the future, we may update our notice and user controls accordingly.

14. Grievance and complaints

If you have a privacy concern, complaint, correction request, deletion request, or consent withdrawal request, you may write to email protected. We will review genuine requests in good faith and respond within a reasonable period consistent with applicable law and practical verification requirements.

15. Changes to this policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect operational, legal, technical, or compliance changes. The latest version published on this website will apply from its stated effective date.
