Processing Your Personal Data

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

  1. To provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services, including enabling account creation, user authentication and authorization, access management, cost calculation and analysis, display of cloud cost insights, monitoring, governance, and automation functionalities.
  2. To enhance platform performance, ensure the security and integrity of the Services, detect and prevent fraud, conduct audits, and maintain service availability and support responsiveness.
  3. To communicate with you regarding service updates, feature changes, billing matters, technical support, compliance notifications, and other service related communications.
  4. To send you relevant alerts, including cost differences, policy suggestions, and other operational notifications.
  5. To comply with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, law enforcement requests, incident or breach notification requirements, and any other mandatory disclosures under applicable law.
  6. For security, fraud prevention, and audit.
  7. To analyse usage patterns, generate aggregated and anonymized insights, and conduct research to improve the functionality, performance, and quality of the Platform and Services. Such aggregated insights do not identify you and do not contain sensitive personal data.
Basis for Processing Personal Data

By accessing, registering for, or using the Services, you hereby provide your free, informed, specific, unconditional, and unambiguous consent for the processing of your personal data for the purposes described in this Policy.

You understand and acknowledge that:

  1. You may withdraw your consent at any time, in accordance with applicable law and by using the designated withdrawal mechanisms provided within the Platform.

Disclosure of Information

Except as described in this Policy, we will not, without your consent, disclose information about you. We may disclose your personal data to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances:

  1. Any information that you voluntarily choose to include in a publicly accessible area of the Platform will be available to anyone who has access to that content, including other Users.
  2. We may work with third-party service providers to provide various services such as hosting, payment processing, analytics, cloud infrastructure, email services and communication. These third-party service providers may have access to, or process information about you as part of providing those services for us. Generally, we limit the information provided to these service providers to that reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
  3. We may disclose information about you if required to do so by law or under good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, in response to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental agencies.
Data Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, we take physical and electronic process-specific security measures, including firewalls, personal passwords, and encryption and authentication technologies. Such measures include, but are not limited to, encryption (in transit and at rest), access control, regular security audits, incident response planning, and internal data governance.

Although we make good faith efforts to store personal data in a secure operating environment that is not open to the public, you should understand that there is no such thing as complete security, and we do not guarantee that there will be no unintended disclosures of your personal data. If we become aware that your personal data has been disclosed in a manner not in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the nature and extent of the disclosure (to the extent we know that information) as soon as reasonably possible and as required by applicable law. In addition, in the event of a personal data breach, we will assess the risk to the Data Principals and notify affected individuals (Data Principals), in a clear and timely manner, about the nature of the breach, potential impact, and remediation steps, CERT-IN, and the Data Protection Board of India, as required under applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. We regularly review our retention periods on the basis of business needs, legal obligations, and data minimization principles. Cloud Provider billing data is retained as long as the User's account remains active. User logs are retained up to 12 to 24 months for audit and operational continuity. For data principals who have not interacted with the Platform for a prolonged period, we may delete or anonymize personal data. In line with our obligations under DPDPA, we will notify you in advance (e.g., 48 hours before deletion) if deletion is automated.

Audit and Records
  1.

    4. CloudAtler may object in writing to an auditor appointed by Customer to conduct any audit if the auditor is, in CloudAtler's reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of CloudAtler, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable (i.e., an auditor whose engagement may have a harmful impact on CloudAtler's business comparable to the aforementioned aspects). Any such objection by CloudAtler will require Customer to appoint another auditor or conduct the audit itself.
