Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website, www.accreteconsultants.com, is operated by Accrete Consulting Engineers Pvt. Ltd. (“ACE”, “we”, “us”), NM-8, Sona Tower, Old DLF Commercial Complex, Sector – 14, Gurgaon – 122001, Haryana, India.

This policy explains what personal data we collect through this website, why, and what choices you have. We process personal data in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

2. What we collect

We only collect what you choose to send us through the forms on this website:

When you submit a form, our server also briefly records your IP address and the time, to block spam and abuse (see section 5). Like most websites, our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested and time) for security and troubleshooting.

Please do not include sensitive information in your CV or messages that we do not need, such as identity-card numbers, bank details, health information or photographs of documents.

3. How we use your data

• Career applications – to assess your suitability for current and future positions at ACE and to contact you about them.
• Enquiries – to reply to your question and, where relevant, to discuss or prepare a proposal for our consultancy services.
• Newsletter – to send you occasional updates about ACE. You can ask us to stop at any time.
• Security – to keep this website and our inboxes safe from spam, abuse and malicious files.

We process this data on the basis of the consent you give when you submit a form. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or advertising.

4. Who receives your data

Form submissions are sent as an email directly to our company mailboxes (career applications to our HR mailbox, enquiries to our main office mailbox). Your CV and form details are not stored on the website server – they pass through it only to be emailed to us.

We use these trusted service providers, who process data on our behalf:

• Hostinger – hosts this website and its server.
• Zoho Mail (Zoho Corporation, India data centre) – hosts our company email, where your submissions are delivered and kept.

Inside ACE, your data is seen only by the people who need it: HR and the hiring managers for career applications, and the relevant team for enquiries. We may disclose data if required by law or by a lawful request from a government authority.

5. How long we keep it

• CVs and career applications – up to 12 months from receipt, so we can consider you for other suitable openings, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. If you join ACE, your application becomes part of your employee record.
• Enquiries – for as long as needed to respond and for our business records, normally up to 3 years.
• Newsletter address – until you unsubscribe.
• Anti-spam record – a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address and the times of your submissions are kept in a temporary server file to limit repeated submissions. Entries older than 10 minutes are ignored, and the file is removed by the server’s routine clean-up of temporary files.
• Server logs – kept for a limited period for security, then deleted or overwritten.

6. Cookies and third-party content

This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies and does not track you across other websites. It stores one small, temporary item in your browser’s session storage so the opening animation is shown only once per visit; it is deleted when you close the browser tab.

Some content on this website is provided by Google:

• Google Fonts – our typefaces are loaded from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address and browser details in order to deliver them.
• Google Maps – the map on the Contact section is embedded from Google Maps. When it loads, Google may receive your IP address and may set its own cookies, under Google’s Privacy Policy.

Links to other websites (for example our Facebook and LinkedIn pages) are governed by those websites’ own privacy policies.

7. How we protect your data

The website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and form data is sent to our mail provider over an encrypted connection. Uploaded files are checked to be genuine PDF or Word documents, Word files containing macros are refused, and nothing you upload is saved on the web server. Access to our mailboxes is restricted to authorised staff. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.

8. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you have the right to:

• ask what personal data of yours we hold and how it is used;
• ask us to correct, complete or update it;
• ask us to erase it, or withdraw your consent at any time (for example, to have your CV deleted or to leave the newsletter) – this does not affect anything done before you withdraw;
• nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf in case of death or incapacity;
• raise a grievance with us, and if it is not resolved, with the Data Protection Board of India.

To use any of these rights, email us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

This website is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Contact and grievances

For any question, request or complaint about your personal data, please contact:

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with its effective date shown at the top.
