Legal Basis for Processing
Our legal basis for collecting and using your information will depend on the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the information to perform a contract with you (e.g., to provide the services you have requested), or where the processing is in our legitimate business interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect information from you.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share or disclose your information in the following circumstances:
- With service providers, vendors, contractors, or agents who perform functions on our behalf, such as IT service providers, hosting providers, and other third parties that support the operation of our site and services. These third parties are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
- With third parties involved directly in the delivery of the services you request, such as location owners or permit authorities, but only as necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
- In response to a legal process or request, such as a subpoena, court order, or government request, to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of Drishti Locations, our users, or others.

Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period will vary depending on the type of information and the purpose of processing. When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if this is not possible (e.g., because your information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, please be aware that despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Your information may be stored and processed in India or any other country where Drishti Locations, its affiliates, or service providers are located. If you are accessing our site or services from a location outside of India, please note that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in India, which may have different data protection laws than those in your country. When transferring data from the European Union or United Kingdom, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as relying on standard contractual clauses or other legally approved mechanisms, to ensure that your information is protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
