1. Introduction

Hathor Rockets Private Limited ("Hathor Rockets", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data when you visit hathor.space (the "Website"), contact us, subscribe to updates, or apply for a position with us. It forms part of our Terms of Use.

For the personal data described in this policy, Hathor Rockets acts as the "Data Fiduciary" under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act") and handles data in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the information you choose to share when you:

• Use a contact form or write to us by email, including partnership, supply, media, and investor inquiries (typically your name, email address, phone number, organisation, role, and message)
• Apply for a job or internship (typically your name, contact details, education and employment history, resume, links to your profiles, and any other information in your application)
• Subscribe to news and updates (typically your name and email address)
• Attend meetings, events, or visits with us, or correspond with us in any other way

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you visit the Website, our systems and our service providers may collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, time spent, and the date and time of your visit.

2.3 Information from other sources

We may receive limited information about you from professional networks, referrals, event organisers, or publicly available sources, for example when evaluating a partnership or a job application.

2.4 Information we ask you to avoid sharing

Please keep sensitive personal data, government identity numbers, financial account details, and confidential or proprietary technical material out of your messages and applications, unless we have asked for it through a secure channel for a specific purpose.

3. How We Use Personal Data

We use personal data for these purposes:

• Responding to inquiries and evaluating and managing partnerships, supply discussions, and media and investor requests
• Evaluating job and internship applications, and managing recruitment
• Sending updates and news that you have asked to receive
• Operating, securing, maintaining, and improving the Website, and understanding how it is used
• Protecting our systems, intellectual property, and confidential information, preventing fraud and misuse, and enforcing our Terms of Use
• Complying with legal, regulatory, and export-control obligations, and responding to lawful requests from authorities
• Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims

We make no automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not sell your personal data.

4. Consent and Legal Basis

We process personal data on the basis of your consent, which you give by a clear affirmative action such as submitting a form, sending us an email, or subscribing to updates. We may also process personal data for the legitimate uses recognised by the DPDP Act, including responding to a request you have made, meeting legal obligations, and protecting against fraud and security incidents. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us as described in Section 9. Withdrawal applies going forward and leaves earlier processing unaffected.

5. Cookies and Analytics

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies, such as local storage, that are necessary for it to function and remain secure. We may also use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Website, in aggregated form. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking some cookies may reduce Website functionality. We do not currently use advertising cookies, and we will update this policy before introducing them.

6. How We Share Personal Data

We share personal data only as needed for the purposes in this policy, with:

• Service providers that host the Website, deliver email, support analytics, run recruitment tools, and provide IT security, under written obligations to protect the data and use it only on our instructions
• Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, and auditors bound by confidentiality
• Partners, incubators, investors, and customers, where an inquiry or relationship calls for it and with your knowledge where required
• Government and regulatory authorities, where the law requires it or where needed to protect rights, safety, and security
• A successor to our business, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality

7. Storage, International Transfers, and Retention

Hathor Rockets is based in India, and we store personal data on servers and with service providers located in India and, where our providers operate globally, in other countries. We transfer personal data outside India only as permitted by the DPDP Act and its rules.

We keep personal data for as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or as the law requires.

Contact and inquiry data is typically retained for up to 3 years from last interaction. Application data is retained for up to 1 year if unsuccessful.

We securely delete or anonymise personal data when it is no longer needed.

8. Security and Children's Data

We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including access controls, encryption in transit, and security reviews, to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach of personal data occurs, we will notify affected individuals and authorities as the law requires.

The Website is intended for people aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

• Request correction, completion, or updating of your personal data
• Request erasure of your personal data where it is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected, subject to legal retention requirements
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• Seek grievance redressal, as described in Section 10
