Your Privacy Is Important to ProArch Group

In the ordinary course of business, ProArch Group collects, uses, and shares personal information pertaining to its employees, its clients, and others. Obtaining this information is important to our ability to conduct our operations and to deliver the highest level of service, but we also recognise that you expect us to treat this information appropriately.

This policy sets out basic principles for collecting, using, disclosing and protecting personal information consistent with Indian information security laws and associated regulations. As used throughout this policy, the term “ProArch Group” refers to ProArch IT Solutions Pvt. Ltd or any of its global affiliates.

The Personal Information We Collect

In this policy, “personal information” means any information relating to you that directly, or indirectly in combination with other information that we have or are likely to obtain, allows us to identify you. Examples of personal information include: your name, e-mail and residence addresses, telephone numbers, photographs, all employment-related and compensation-related information, and government-issued identification numbers.

ProArch Group also may collect and process, especially as to its own personnel, certain personal information constituting “sensitive personal information” under applicable law. This includes financial information such as payment instructions and bank account details, physical or mental health condition, medical records and history, and information received by ProArch Group from third parties under contract for processing.

Use of Personal Information

We process personal information pertaining to our staff for a variety of general human resources administration and related business purposes including taxation calculations, wage administration, performance evaluations, contingency planning, business travel, training, career planning, and recruitment. Personal information concerning client personnel and other non-employee individuals transacting with ProArch Group will be used to administer and facilitate our relationship with you, for internal operational purposes, and to satisfy our legal and regulatory obligations.

Disclosing Personal Information

ProArch Group does not disclose your personal information to third parties, except as described in this policy. Third party disclosures may include sharing such information with our affiliated companies worldwide for compliance, risk management and operational purposes and with non-affiliated services providers such as those providing professional, legal or accounting advice. Non-affiliated service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of such personal information and to use it only in the course of providing such services and only for the purposes authorised by ProArch Group.

We may also disclose personal information to fulfil client instructions, to protect our rights and interests and those of our business partners, or pursuant to your express consent. Finally, under limited circumstances, your personal information may be disclosed to third parties as permitted by, or to comply with, applicable laws and regulations; for instance, when responding to a subpoena or similar legal process, to protect against fraud and to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities or with organisations such as exchanges and clearinghouses.

Information Security Practices and Procedures

ProArch Group limits access to personal information to authorised firm employees or agents and, as described above in Disclosing Personal Information, our service providers are held to stringent standards of privacy. ProArch Group maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the information against loss, misuse, damage or modification and unauthorised access or disclosure. Some of the other central features of our information security program are:

• A dedicated group – the Information Security Department – that designs, implements and provides oversight to our information security program;
• The use of specialised technology such as firewalls;
• Testing of the security and operability of products and services before they are introduced to the Internet, as well as ongoing scanning for publicly known vulnerabilities in the technology;
• Internal and external reviews of our Internet sites and services;
• Implementing controls to identify, authenticate and authorise access to various systems or sites;
