02Our role under the DPDP Act
Our role depends on whose personal data it is and who runs the deployment.
- Data Fiduciary. For personal data elan1 collects for its own purposes (website visitors, contact and design-partner forms, account administration, billing, our own staff and marketing), elan1 is the Data Fiduciary. This notice describes that processing.
- Data Processor. For personal data in customers' systems that elan1 processes on the customer's instructions through elan1 Govern, Work, Decide and Run (hosted deployments), the customer is the Data Fiduciary and ELAN1 AGENTIC TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED acts as its Data Processor, under a data processing agreement. The customer’s own privacy notice governs that data; we process it only on the customer’s documented instructions.
- Customer-operated deployments. In customer-VPC, on-premises and sovereign deployments that the customer operates, elan1 does not process the personal data and is neither, except for any support access the customer grants, where it acts as Processor.
- Legal matters. Legal notices and any legal action under the DPDP Act, 2023, including correspondence with the Data Protection Board of India, are handled by Hariharan (hariharan@elan1.ai), who is also our grievance officer.
If your personal data is held by one of our customers, send requests about it to that customer. If you send them to us, we pass them to the customer and help it respond. How the product handles customer data — residency, keys and subprocessors — is set out on security, residency and data handling and India DPDP Act 2023.
03Personal data we collect
- What you give us in a form. Contact form: name, work email, organisation, role, topic, phone (optional) and message (optional). Design partner application: name, work email, organisation, role, platform, the process you describe, and the role of its approver (optional).
- What you send by email. Your address and whatever you choose to include.
- Product updates. Your work email, if you ask to receive them.
- Account and billing data. For customers: the names, work emails and roles of the people who administer an account, and the billing contact and invoice details needed to bill for the service.
- Technical data. IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps in our server logs, used to run and secure the site.
- Preferences. Your cookie choice and reduced-motion setting, stored in your own browser. We do not receive them.
- Analytics. Only if you turn analytics on. See the cookie notice.
We do not ask for sensitive data and ask you not to include it in a message. We do not buy personal data or combine it with data from brokers.

We take reasonable security safeguards to prevent a personal data breach, including encryption in transit, access limited to the people who need it, and logging of access.

Where we act as a Data Processor, we inform the customer without delay so that it can meet its own duties.
