Privacy Policy

What you give us.

• Contact form: your name, email address, phone number, the purpose of your enquiry, your website (if any) and your message.
• Business Development Partner (BDP) application: personal and contact details, professional background and experience, links you share, any documents you attach, your declarations and your typed signature.
• Careers and work: details you send us when applying for a role or internship, and details we hold about people who work with us.

Accounts in our portals. For employees, BDPs and partners we hold your name, work email, role, activity needed to run the service (such as sign-in times), and the work records you create. For partners who are paid through us we also hold the details needed to pay you and to meet tax rules: PAN, Aadhaar number, bank account details and payment history. PAN, Aadhaar and bank account numbers are stored in encrypted form and each time an administrator views one it is recorded.

Automatically. When you use the site we receive technical data such as your device, browser, pages viewed and approximate location, through cookies and similar technologies (see section 8).

• To reply to your enquiry and provide the services you ask about.
• To assess BDP, career and partner applications, and to onboard and pay the people we work with.
• To run, secure and support our portals, including preventing misuse and keeping an audit trail of sensitive actions.
• To meet legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations.
• To understand how the website is used and to improve it.
• To send updates you have asked for. You can stop these at any time.

We process personal information with your consent, which you give when you submit a form or create an account, and for the legitimate uses the law allows, such as fulfilling a contract with you, complying with a legal obligation, and keeping our systems secure. You can withdraw consent at any time (see section 9); this does not affect what we did before, and we may still keep what the law requires us to keep.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

• Service providers who help us run the business under confidentiality and security obligations, for example for hosting and infrastructure (Vercel, Amazon Web Services), sign-in (Google Firebase Authentication), email delivery (Zoho Mail) and website analytics (Google Analytics).
• Our professional advisers, such as accountants and lawyers, when needed.
• Banks and payment processors, to pay partners.
• Government and regulatory authorities, courts and law enforcement, when the law requires it.
• A buyer or successor of the business, if CSEDGE PRIVATE LIMITED is ever restructured or sold, with the same protection for your data.

Our systems are hosted with cloud providers whose servers may be inside or outside India. Where data is processed outside India we rely on providers with appropriate security practices and use it only for the purposes in this policy.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, and for the periods that company, tax and accounting laws require. After that we delete it or remove what identifies you. Records about payments and tax are kept for as long as those laws demand.

We use encryption in transit and for sensitive identifiers, role-based access so people only see what their work needs, sign-in protection and activity logging on sensitive records. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable safeguards and act quickly if something goes wrong.

We use cookies and similar technologies that are needed for the site and portals to work (for example to keep you signed in) and analytics cookies, including Google Analytics, to understand how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the site may then not work as intended.

You can ask us to give you a summary of the personal information we hold about you and how it is used, to correct or complete it, to erase it where we no longer need it, and to withdraw your consent. You may also nominate another person to exercise these rights for you if you are unable to.

To make a request or raise a concern, write to contact@csedge.co with the subject “Privacy request”, and tell us who you are so we can verify the request. We aim to respond within 30 days. If we cannot resolve your concern you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Our website and services are meant for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Our site links to other websites, such as social networks. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.
