Privacy policy

This policy explains how Bhumi Biotics (“we”, “us”) handles personal information collected through this website. It applies only to this website. It does not cover the Bhumi Biotics app, devices or any pilot programme, which will have their own terms and privacy notices when they are offered.

For the purposes of Indian data protection law, we decide why and how the information you send through this website is used.

Information you give us

When you use the contact form, we receive:

• your name, email address and the message you write (required);
• your role, such as farmer, institution or government body (required);
• your organisation and phone number (optional).

Please do not include sensitive details such as bank or identity numbers, passwords or health information in your message. We do not need them to reply.

Information collected automatically

Like any website, the servers that deliver these pages may record technical details of each request: your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and the time. These logs are kept by our hosting provider for security and reliability, and we use them only for those purposes.

Cookies

We do not set cookies or use local storage to track you, and we do not use advertising or analytics tools on this website. If that changes, we will update this page and ask for your consent where the law requires it before the change takes effect.

We use the information you send us to:

• read and reply to your enquiry;
• arrange a demo, a pilot conversation or a partnership discussion you have asked about;
• keep a record of that conversation so we do not ask you the same things twice.

We rely on your consent, which you give by submitting the form for these purposes. We will not use your details for unrelated marketing, and we will not add you to a mailing list unless you ask us to.

Your enquiry is seen by the Bhumi Biotics team members who handle partnerships and pilots. We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it for advertising.

We use trusted service providers to run this website and to deliver form messages to us, such as hosting and email or workflow tools. They may process your information only on our behalf and to provide those services. Some of these providers may store or process data outside India.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, for example in response to a lawful request from a court or authority.

We keep enquiry details for as long as we need them to deal with your request and any follow-up discussion, and for a reasonable period afterwards for our records. We delete or anonymise them once they are no longer needed, unless the law requires us to keep them longer. You can ask us to delete your details sooner.

This website is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and the contact form sends your message directly to our systems without storing it on the website itself. We limit access to enquiries to the people who need them. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and related rules, you have rights over your personal data. In practice, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal data of yours we hold and how we use it;
• correct information that is wrong or out of date;
• delete your information when it is no longer needed for the purpose you gave it;
• stop using your information, by withdrawing your consent at any time;
• name someone to exercise these rights on your behalf if you cannot.

Withdrawing consent does not affect what we did with your information before you withdrew it. To use any of these rights, write to us as described below. We will respond within a reasonable time.

This website is intended for adults and organisations. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us their details, tell us and we will delete them.

If this website links to other sites, we do not control them and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies before you share information with them.

We may update this policy as the website or the law changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. If we make a significant change to how we use your information, we will make that clear on this page before it takes effect. The way you use this website is also covered by our terms of use.

For questions about this policy, or to exercise any of your rights, contact us. Please include the name and email address you used on the form so we can find your enquiry.

Write to us through the contact form.

If we cannot resolve your concern, you may also approach the Data Protection Board of India once it is operational and where the law allows.
