Cyber Secure India (CSI)Cyber Secure Nation by 2030

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Cyber Secure India (CSI) handles information collected through this website, contact forms, workshop enquiries, CyberCoffee requests, research collaboration requests, volunteer interest and direct email communication. Cyber Secure India (CSI) is committed to collecting only information that is useful for mission coordination and to handling that information responsibly.

2. Information we collect

  • Contact details such as name, email address, phone number, organisation, institution, city, district or state.
  • Message content submitted through the website, including workshop requirements, collaboration ideas, CyberCoffee requests or volunteer notes.
  • Operational metadata generated by hosting and form services, such as IP address, browser type, timestamps, spam signals and server logs.
  • Information you voluntarily share over email or during program planning calls.

3. How we use information

Cyber Secure India (CSI) uses information to respond to enquiries, assess program fit, coordinate workshops, schedule CyberCoffee sessions, plan research collaborations, manage volunteer interest, protect the website from abuse and improve public-awareness content. We may also use aggregated, non-identifying insights to understand demand across regions and audience types.

4. Legal and operational basis

We process information because you request communication, because coordination is necessary for delivering programs, because we have a legitimate interest in protecting our website and mission operations, and because certain records may be needed for legal, security or accountability purposes.

5. Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with hosting, form processing, email, security or operational providers that help run the website and respond to requests. We may share information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate abuse, or with your consent for a specific collaboration.

6. Retention

Enquiry records are retained only as long as reasonably needed for response, coordination, audit, security, legal or mission continuity purposes. Records that are no longer needed may be deleted, anonymised or archived in a restricted manner.

7. Your choices

You may request access, correction or deletion of information you submitted by emailing Cyber Secure India (CSI). We may need to retain limited information where required for legal, security, fraud-prevention or operational reasons.

8. Children and students

Cyber Secure India (CSI) may conduct awareness programs for schools and colleges. The website contact form should be submitted by adults, authorised institutional representatives, parents, guardians or students with appropriate permission where required. We do not knowingly collect unnecessary information from children through this website.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate for a static website and form-based communication. No internet system can be guaranteed completely secure, so users should avoid sending sensitive credentials, passwords, OTPs, government IDs or confidential documents through the public contact form.
