Consent and your choices
We process your personal data on the basis of consent given at registration, which is free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous, as required under the DPDP Act.
- Withdrawing consent: you may withdraw consent at any time by emailing hello@wpninjas-india.com. Withdrawal does not affect processing already done, and may mean we cannot provide certain services, since event entry requires registration data.
- Sponsor sharing: your details are shared with sponsors only after the event. You may opt out at any time before the event concludes by emailing us with the subject "Sponsor Opt-Out". Opting out does not affect your ticket in any way.
- Photography: by attending, you consent to being photographed or filmed in general event coverage. If you prefer not to appear in close-up shots, tell us at the registration desk and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this.
Cross-border data
Some of our service providers, such as ticketing, email, and cloud tools, may store data outside India. We transfer data only to countries not restricted by the Central Government under the DPDP Act, with appropriate safeguards.
Data retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, for example tax records for eight years. WhatsApp community data remains until you exit the group or request removal.
Your rights as a Data Principal
Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:
- Access: obtain a summary of your personal data we process and the processing activities.
- Correction and erasure: have inaccurate data corrected, incomplete data completed, and data erased when no longer necessary.
- Grievance redressal: a readily available means to raise complaints with us.
- Nominate: designate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity.

Your duties
The DPDP Act also requires Data Principals not to impersonate others, suppress material information, or file false complaints, and to provide only authentic information when exercising rights.
Children's data
Our events and community are intended for working IT professionals and students aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly process data of individuals under 18.
Security
We use reasonable security safeguards, including access controls, limited team access, and reputable platforms, to protect your data and prevent breaches. In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the Data Protection Board and affected Data Principals as required by the DPDP Act.
