What Personal Data We Collect

We collect only what is necessary for the Platform to function.

From students / ticket buyers

What we do NOT collect

• Government identification numbers (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID)
• Card numbers, CVV, or banking credentials — handled entirely by Easebuzz
• Precise real-time GPS location
• Biometric data of any kind
• Data from your social media profiles

How We Collect Your Data

Your data is collected when you create an account, purchase a ticket, or contact our support team. We do not collect data from social media platforms, data brokers, or any third-party source.

Consent

Under Section 6(1) of the DPDP Act, consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous with a clear affirmative action.

When you register on Campusmeet, you will be shown a consent notice explaining what data is collected and why. You must actively check a clearly labelled consent box — no pre-ticked boxes, no implied consent. The notice is available in English and Indian languages listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution.

At ticket purchase, you will be reminded that your name, email, and phone number will be shared with the event organiser for the sole purpose of confirming your registration at that specific event.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data only for the following purposes:

• Issuing and delivering your QR-coded ticket
• Verifying your identity at event entry
• Sending booking confirmations and event updates via email or WhatsApp
• Maintaining your transaction history
• Processing refunds where applicable
• Improving Platform functionality through anonymised, aggregated analytics via Google Analytics

What we do NOT do with your data

• We do not sell your personal data to any third party
• We do not share your personal data with any brand, advertiser, or sponsor
• We do not use your data to build profiles that are sold or licensed to external entities
• We do not transfer your personal data outside India

Sharing Data with Event Organisers

When you purchase a ticket to an event, the organiser of that event receives your name, email address, and phone number — solely for the purpose of confirming your registration and managing attendance at their event.

This sharing is:

• Limited to the specific event you registered for. An organiser of Event A does not receive your data in relation to Event B.
• Restricted by contract — organisers are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than the specific event, and from sharing it with any third party.
• Disclosed to you at the point of purchase before you complete payment.

Organisers do not receive your transaction history, data from other events, or any behavioural data generated on the Platform.

Future Brand Features

Campusmeet intends to introduce contextual brand content inside the ticket booking journey in the future — for example, a relevant course offer shown to a student booking a technology workshop, or a lifestyle brand offer shown to a student buying a concert ticket.

This feature is not currently live.

When it is introduced:

• No student personal data will be shared with any brand
• Brands will not receive your name, phone number, email, or any identifying information
• Campusmeet's own system will match event category to brand category internally — the brand sees only aggregate engagement metrics
• You will be given the ability to opt out before the feature is active for your account
• A separate, specific consent will be required — it will not be bundled with general registration consent

This Privacy Policy will be updated before any such feature is activated, and you will be notified.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purpose.

After the applicable retention period, your data is permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

Data Security

We implement the following security measures:

• Encrypted transmission — all data transferred between your device and our servers uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Encrypted storage — personal data is stored in encrypted form on cloud infrastructure
• Access controls — internal access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis
• QR code security — each ticket QR code is cryptographically unique and cannot be duplicated or reused

In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the Data Protection Board of India and each affected user in accordance with Section 8(6) of the DPDP Act, within the prescribed timelines.

Your Rights

Under Chapter III of the DPDP Act, 2023, you have the following rights:

• Right to access information (Section 11) Request a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how it has been used.
• Right to correction and erasure (Section 12) Request correction of inaccurate data, or erasure of your personal data. We will comply unless retention is required by law.
• Right to withdraw consent (Section 6(4)) Withdraw your consent at any time from your account settings. Withdrawal stops future processing but does not affect past lawful processing.
• Right to grievance redressal (Section 13) Raise a complaint about our data handling and have it addressed within 30 days.
• Right to nominate (Section 14) Nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of your death or incapacity.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We will notify you of material changes to this Privacy Policy via email and a prominent notice on the Platform at least 7 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Platform after that date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a material change, you may delete your account before it takes effect.
