Legal Basis for Processing
Personal data is processed only upon obtaining free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent from the Data Principal through a clear affirmative action, unless processing is permitted under legitimate uses as defined under applicable law.
Roles and Responsibilities
Client organizations act as Data Fiduciaries determining the purpose and means of processing.

However, depending on the nature of services availed (including managed services and forensic services), the Company may act as a Data Fiduciary or Joint Data Fiduciary, as defined under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and in accordance with applicable contractual arrangements.
Data Processing Lifecycle
Personal data follows a structured lifecycle: Submission → Storage → Validation (where applicable) → Assignment → Investigation → Closure. Automation and AI tools may be used for triaging and analytics. Any use of AI or automated processing does not result in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

Cross-Border Data Transfers
Currently, personal data is not transferred outside India. Any future transfers will comply with applicable legal requirements.
