Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 9, 2026

1. Scope

This policy applies to personal data processed through our public website, including contact and consultation enquiries, newsletter subscriptions, and career applications. It does not replace engagement letters, confidentiality terms, or data-handling provisions agreed when you become a client of our chartered accountancy and advisory services.

By using our website, you acknowledge this policy. Where consent is required under applicable law — for example, for marketing communications — we seek it separately and clearly.

2. Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of data:

• Contact and enquiry data: name, email address, phone number, service type, subject, and message content submitted through our contact form.
• Newsletter data: email address (and, where provided, a display name) when you subscribe to insights and updates via our website footer or other signup forms.
• Career application data: name, email, phone number, current location, years of experience, and résumé/CV files submitted when you apply for a role listed on our careers pages.
• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps collected automatically through server logs and essential cookies needed to operate the site securely.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through our public website forms. Please do not submit passwords, full financial records, or other confidential client information unless we have expressly requested it through a secure channel.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• Responding to enquiries and scheduling consultations you request.
• Sending newsletter and blog updates to subscribers who have opted in.
• Reviewing and processing job applications for open positions.
• Operating, securing, and improving our website and communications.
• Complying with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations applicable to our firm.

We process data where permitted under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), including on the basis of your consent, for the performance of steps taken at your request before entering a service relationship, and where necessary for legitimate uses recognised by law.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses essential cookies and similar technologies required for basic functionality, security, and session management. We do not currently use third-party advertising or behavioural analytics cookies on teotiaco.com.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect how certain parts of the site work.

5. How We Share Data

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, such as:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Email delivery services used for enquiries, newsletters, and application confirmations.
• Cloud storage providers used to store job application materials securely.

These providers process data on our instructions and are expected to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards. We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, or a competent authority.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above:

• Enquiries: typically up to 24 months after the enquiry is closed, unless a longer period is needed for follow-up or compliance.
• Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe or we remove inactive records in line with our mailing practices.
• Job applications: for the recruitment cycle and a reasonable period thereafter for talent-pool or legal purposes, unless you request earlier deletion where applicable.
• Server logs: for a limited period required for security and troubleshooting.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; while we work to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights Under the DPDP Act, 2023

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, complete, update, or erase your personal data, withdraw consent where processing is consent-based, and nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity.

You may also have the right to grievance redressal and, where applicable, to approach the Data Protection Board of India. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or via our unsubscribe page.

For questions, concerns, or complaints about how we handle personal data, please contact our Grievance Officer:

• Email: info@teotiaco.com

We aim to acknowledge grievances within 7 business days and resolve them within applicable statutory timelines.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are directed at businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11. Cross-Border Processing

Our website and certain service providers may process or store data on servers located outside India. Where this occurs, we take steps reasonably required to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable law.
