Privacy Policy
Effective 16 June 2026 · Version 1.0
This Privacy Policy explains how Dekrypt Labs (“Dekrypt Labs”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, shares and protects your personal data when you use BIOS — the Business Intelligence Operating System and related websites and services (the “Service”). We process personal data in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”), the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the SPDI Rules, 2011. By creating an account and giving your consent, you agree to the practices described here.
01Who we are (Data Fiduciary)
Dekrypt Labs is the Data Fiduciary responsible for deciding the purpose and means of processing your personal data through BIOS. For any privacy question, or to exercise your rights, contact our Grievance Officer (see §11).
02Personal data we collect
We collect only what we need to run the Service:
- Identity & account data — full name, email address, and, where you sign in with Google, your Google account identifier and profile name.
- Verification data — date of birth (to confirm you are 18 or older) and mobile number (verified via a one-time code).
- Usage data — the research queries you run, reports generated, credit balance and activity logs.
- Technical data — IP address, device/browser information and session cookies necessary to keep you signed in and to secure the Service.
We do not knowingly collect special-category or financial-account data through these flows. Please do not submit sensitive personal information in free-text research queries.
03Why we process it (purposes)
- To create and secure your account and verify your identity and age.
- To provide, operate and improve BIOS and its intelligence outputs.
- To communicate service, security and account notices to you.
- To prevent fraud and abuse and maintain the integrity of the Service.
- To comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests.
04Legal basis — your consent
We process your personal data on the basis of the consent you give at sign-up, and for the certain legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act. Your consent is free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, given through a clear affirmative action (ticking the consent box). You may withdraw your consent at any time — see §6 and §7. Withdrawal is as easy as giving consent and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
05Who we share data with (Data Processors)
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with processors who help us run the Service, under contractual safeguards:
- Supabase — authentication and database (primary data hosted in the Mumbai, India region).
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) — transactional email (SES) and SMS one-time codes (SNS), Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region.
- Google — Google Sign-In (OAuth), if you choose it.
- Vercel — hosting and delivery of the web application.
- Research providers (e.g. DeepSeek, Exa, Firecrawl, Jina) — process your research queries to generate intelligence outputs.
We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our rights and users.
06Cross-border transfer & retention
Some processors operate outside India; any such transfer is made in accordance with Section 16 of the DPDP Act. We retain your personal data only as long as your account is active or as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymised. You may request earlier deletion (see §7).
07Your rights as a Data Principal
Under the DPDP Act you have the right to:
- Access a summary of the personal data we process about you.
- Correction, completion and updating of your data.
- Erasure of your data, subject to legal retention needs.
- Grievance redressal — a readily available means to raise concerns (see §11).
- Nominate another individual to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise any right, email our Grievance Officer (§11). We will respond within the timelines required by law.
08Children (18+ only)
BIOS is intended only for individuals aged 18 and above. We collect date of birth to enforce this and do not knowingly process the personal data of children. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact the Grievance Officer and we will delete it.
09Security
We follow reasonable security practices and procedures as required under the IT Act and the SPDI Rules, including encryption in transit, access controls, role-segregated database privileges and least-privilege service credentials. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure; we work continuously to protect your data.
10Cookies
We use only the cookies strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to secure your session. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
11Grievance Officer & Data Protection Board
In line with the IT Act and DPDP Act, our Grievance Officer can answer your questions about how your personal data is processed and handle complaints:
If your concern is not resolved, you may complain to the
Data Protection Board of India as provided under the DPDP Act.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified in-app or by email, and where required we will seek fresh consent. The “Version” and “Effective” date above indicate the current version.
