01Who we are and what this policy covers

BNQ InTech (OPC) Private Limited (“BNQ InTech”, “we”, “us”) is an IT and IT-enabled services company registered in India, with its office at GF1 & GF2, Tirath Technospace, Beside B U Bhandari Mercedes Showroom, Baner, Pune 411045, Maharashtra, India. For the personal data described here we are the Data Fiduciary (the “controller”).

This policy applies to bnqintech.com, its forms, customer accounts, newsletter, careers and partner applications, and our related emails. It does not cover data we process on behalf of our clients under a services contract — that data is governed by the client contract and the client’s own privacy notice, and we act only on the client’s documented instructions.

02Laws we follow

We handle personal data in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules as they come into force. Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies to you, you also have the rights it gives.

03Personal data we collect

Data you give us:

  • Contact and quote requests — first and last name, email, phone / WhatsApp, country, state, city, company, the service you need, timeline and your message.
  • Customer accounts — name, company, GSTIN (optional), address, email, mobile number, preferences, orders, wallet entries, requests and sign-in history (date, device type, approximate location from IP).
  • Job applications — your details, experience, links and the CV you upload.
  • Partner applications — your or your organisation’s details, business category, territory, experience and network information you choose to share.
  • Business Partner portal — for approved partners: your name, contact details, place and photo, the reports you submit about your activities and clients (including the client contact details you enter), our follow-ups with those clients, work orders and your earnings records. Visible to you, your Sales Manager and our sales management; never to other partners.
  • Profile photo or logo — only if you upload one in your account; it is resized, stripped of hidden camera data (such as location) and visible only to you and our account staff. You can remove it at any time.
  • Newsletter — your email address. We register it only after you click the confirmation link we email you (double opt-in).

04Data collected automatically

  • Server logs — IP address, browser, page requested, time and response code, kept for 14 days for security and troubleshooting.
  • Visitor logs and analytics — for each visit we record the IP address, approximate location derived from it (country, state, city), browser and device type, the page visited, the page you came from, and date and time. We use these logs to count visitors, understand how the website is used, improve it, and detect abuse. This analysis uses no cookies and no advertising identifiers, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
  • Security signals — to stop spam we check form timing and, if enabled, a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge. Each enquiry record keeps the IP address it came from for fraud prevention.
  • Cookies — only the sign-in cookies described in our Cookie Policy. We use no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

05What we ask you not to send

Please do not send passwords, bank or card details, health information, government ID numbers or other sensitive personal data through our website forms. We do not need them to answer an enquiry. If a service requires such data, we agree a secure way to receive it in writing first.

08Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for advertising. We share it only with:

  • Hosting — DigitalOcean (servers in Bengaluru, India) stores the website and its data.
  • Email delivery — Brevo sends our notifications, sign-in codes and replies.
  • City suggestions — when you type a city, our server asks OpenStreetMap’s Photon service (Komoot) for matching place names. Only the text you typed is sent, not your name, email or IP address.
  • Google — web fonts and the map on the Contact page load from Google, which receives your IP address and browser details. Google Analytics is switched off; if we switch it on we will update this policy and ask for consent where required.
  • Cloudflare — only if the Turnstile anti-spam check is enabled on a form.
  • Our people and advisers — staff and contractors who need the data, bound by confidentiality, and our lawyers, auditors and accountants.
  • Authorities — where required by law, court order or to protect rights, safety and property.
  • A successor business — if we merge or transfer our business, under this policy’s protections.

09International transfers

Our main systems are in India. Some providers (such as email delivery) may process data in other countries. Where data leaves India we do so only as permitted by Indian law and with contractual safeguards; for EU/UK visitors we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

10How long we keep data

After these periods we delete or anonymise the data, unless the law requires us to keep it longer or it is needed for a legal claim.

When a record is deleted in our systems (for example when you ask us to close your account), it is first taken out of all active use and kept in a restricted archive that only senior staff can open, so that mistakes can be undone and legal records kept. It is not used for any other purpose.

11How we protect data

We use reasonable security practices proportionate to the data: encrypted connections (HTTPS), a firewall and intrusion protection on our servers, access limited to people who need it, passwordless sign-in with short-lived codes, signed and HTTP-only session cookies, spam protection, and regular updates and backups.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a personal-data breach occurs, we will act quickly to contain it and inform affected people and the Data Protection Board of India (and other regulators where required) as the law requires.

12Your rights

Subject to the law that applies to you, you may:

  • get a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how we use it;
  • have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected, completed or updated;
  • have data erased when it is no longer needed or you withdraw consent (unless we must keep it by law);
  • withdraw consent and unsubscribe from our emails;
  • nominate another person to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity;
  • have your grievance handled by our Grievance Officer, and then complain to the Data Protection Board of India; EU/UK residents may also object, restrict processing, request portability and complain to their supervisory authority.

To use these rights, email info@bnqintech.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity and will reply within 30 days. Signed-in customers can also update their details and request deletion from Sign-in & security.

13Children

This website and our services are meant for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy. The date above shows the latest version; for significant changes we will place a notice on the website and, where we have your email and the law requires it, tell you directly.
