Privacy Notice
Version 2026-10-14. This notice is for the startup coaching programme of Rajat Agarwal, its booking form, the college enquiry and appointment forms, and e-mail sign-in. It is short on purpose: what we keep, why, where, for how long, and your rights.
Who is responsible: IT Services by Rajat Agarwal, the trade name of Rajat Agarwal, an individual running a sole proprietorship in India. For the data below we decide why and how it is used (we are the "Data Fiduciary" under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023). Contact: rajatsiroffice@gmail.com, (+91) 96503 97480.
What we keep, why and for how long
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your name, e-mail address, mobile number and startup name, and the number of seats | To confirm your payment, send your private access link, e-mail you about your progress and answer you | A booking that was started and never paid: 30 days, then deleted. A paid booking: we keep billing data for audit and tax reasons |
| From Razorpay: payment method, bank, last four digits of a card or a masked UPI id, bank reference, fee and any error text | To record the payment and put right a failed or wrong payment. We never see or keep a full card number or full UPI id | We keep billing data for audit and tax reasons |
| What you accepted: the version, the time and the exact words of the three boxes | Proof of your consent | As the booking above |
| Log of messages from Razorpay (reference numbers and results only) | To be sure every payment is recorded once | We keep billing data for audit and tax reasons |
| A code made from your connection address and the hour (not the address itself) | To stop misuse of the booking form | 2 days |
| Your e-mail address for sign-in, and a one-way coded copy of the 6-digit code and link we e-mail you (never the digits themselves) | To check that the e-mail address is yours before you book or send a request | The code expires in 15 minutes. A short log of sign-in events (no codes, e-mail only as a one-way code) is kept with the other abuse-control records |
| College enquiry or appointment: name, verified e-mail, phone, institute, role, optional date, time and message | To reply to your request about the Student Success Workshop | 18 months, then deleted automatically |
| What you type inside the Proof Forge tool | It is locked on your own device with your passphrase. We keep only the locked copy and cannot read it | Until you ask us to remove it |

We do not sell personal data, we show no advertising, and we do not use your data to train artificial-intelligence models. Some of these providers work outside India, as section 16 of the Act allows. This website sets one essential cookie, a signed sign-in cookie, only after you verify your e-mail. It lets this browser stay signed in for up to a year and is renewed when you visit; "Use another e-mail" removes it. There are no advertising or analytics cookies. Razorpay's payment window and the bot check may set their own technical cookies.
Your rights
- To see the personal data we hold about you, and to have it corrected, completed or erased.
