Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Last updated: September 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you register on Research Saarthi — as a scholar, mentor/resource person, or event participant — we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, gender, country, institution/organisation, designation, and any other details you voluntarily provide on our registration forms.

2. Payment Information

When you pay a registration or certificate fee for an event, payment is processed entirely by our payment gateway partner, Razorpay. Research Saarthi does not receive, store, or have access to your card number, UPI PIN, or net-banking credentials at any point — these are handled directly and securely by Razorpay's PCI-DSS compliant systems.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To verify your email address via One-Time Password (OTP) and process your registration.
  • To send you event confirmations, updates, reminders, and (where applicable) certificates.
  • To respond to enquiries you send us.
  • To maintain internal records of scholars, mentors, and event participants for reporting and program improvement.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Sharing

We share the minimum necessary information with trusted service providers strictly to operate our services — for example, sharing your name, email, and payable amount with Razorpay in order to process a payment. We do not share your personal data with any other third party for marketing purposes.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain registration and event participation records for as long as necessary to provide our services, maintain accurate program records, and comply with applicable legal or tax obligations.

7. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data held by us by writing to info@researchsaarthi.com. We will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable time.

8. Cookies

Our website uses minimal, functional cookies/local storage (for example, to remember your display theme preference or keep you signed in to a portal). We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
