Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Privacy Policy
01
Who we are

EcoTrue is a subscription-based tender intelligence platform operated in India. We provide curated briefs on tenders relevant to NRM, climate, and sustainability consulting firms.

This policy applies to all users of ecotrue.in — including visitors, waitlist subscribers, and paid members.

We collect only what we need to run the service. We do not sell your data. We do not show ads.
02
Information we collect
  • Account data: Name, email address, and organisation name when you register or join the waitlist.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, tenders viewed, search queries, and session activity — used to improve the product.
  • Payment data: Billing details processed by our payment provider. Card numbers are never stored on our servers.
  • Device data: Browser type, IP address, and approximate location for security and analytics.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as Aadhaar, PAN, biometric data, or information about health, religion, or political views.

03
How we use your data
  • To create and manage your account and subscription
  • To deliver tender briefs, alerts, and platform updates
  • To process payments and issue invoices
  • To respond to queries and provide support
  • To detect and prevent fraud or misuse

We rely on contractual necessity and legitimate interest as the legal basis for processing, consistent with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

04
Data sharing

We share your data only with third-party services essential to operating the platform — such as our database, hosting, and payment providers. All such providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes — ever.

Government disclosures: We may share data if required by Indian law or a valid court order. We will notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.
05
Data retention
  • Active account data is retained while your subscription is active.
  • On cancellation, account data is deleted after 90 days.
  • Billing records are retained for 7 years as required under Indian tax law.

You may request earlier deletion at any time by writing to info@ecotrue.in.

06
Your rights

Under the DPDP Act, 2023, you have the right to access, correct, or request erasure of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email info@ecotrue.in. We respond within 30 business days.

07
Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies to maintain your login session. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. Anonymised, non-personal analytics help us understand platform usage — you may opt out by contacting us.

08
Contact

For privacy questions or complaints, write to info@ecotrue.in. If unresolved, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India once constituted.
