Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION


Arion Ratings Private Limited (“Arion Ratings”, “ARPL”, “we”, “our” or “us”) provides technology software as a service and related digital infrastructure. We are committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality and security of personal information processed through our website, software, applications, APIs and other technology services.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, processed, shared, stored, retained and protected when you access:


Website: https://www.arionratings.com/


and any related software platform, dashboard, API, documentation site or support channel operated by Arion Ratings Private Limited.

Arion Ratings Private Limited is a technology service provider. We are not a bank, NBFC or lender and we do not ourselves provide loans or process borrower information for the purpose of lending on our own account.

This Privacy Policy is intended to operate in accordance with applicable Indian laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules thereunder, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and rules thereunder, as applicable and in force.

2. SCOPE


This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through

 

  • our website;

  • demo, contact and partnership enquiry forms;

  • customer accounts, dashboards and APIs;

  • implementation, onboarding and support communications;

  • email, telephone or other channels you use to contact us; and

  • other software or professional services provided by Arion Ratings.


Where a business customer uses our software to process personal information of its own users, employees or counterparties, that customer determines the purposes of such processing. In that case Arion Ratings Private Limited generally acts as a technology processor or service provider, and the customer’s own privacy notice will also apply to those individuals.

3. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT


Depending on how you interact with us, we may process the following categories of information.

3.1 Identity and Contact Information

  • security, diagnostic and performance logs.


3.4 Customer Data Submitted to the Software


If a customer uploads or transmits business or personal information into the software, we process that information only to provide the subscribed services. The categories of such data are determined by the customer’s configuration and use of the platform.

We do not require website visitors to provide KYC documents, bank statements, credit scores or loan-application data in order to browse the website or request a demo.

4. HOW WE USE INFORMATION


We use personal information to:

​

  • operate, maintain and improve the website and software;

  • respond to enquiries and provide demos or support;

  • create and administer accounts; perform contracts, billing and customer onboarding;

  • secure the services and prevent abuse, fraud or unauthorised access; comply with legal obligations;

  • analyse aggregated usage to improve product quality; and

  • send service, product or marketing communications where permitted.


We do not use personal information collected through the website to approve, price or disburse loans.

5. CONSENT AND LEGAL GROUNDS


We process personal information where it is reasonably necessary for:

​

  • performing a contract or taking steps at your request before entering a contract;

  • complying with law;

  • our legitimate business purposes that do not override your interests in a manner prohibited by law; or

  • consent, where consent is required.


Where consent is required, you may withdraw it by contacting us using the details below. Withdrawal will not affect processing already completed lawfully, and may affect our ability to provide a service that depends on the information.

6. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION


We may share personal information with:

​

  • employees and contractors who need it to perform their roles;

  • cloud hosting, communications, analytics, security and payment providers that process data on our instructions;

  • professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors or consultants under confidentiality obligations;

  • a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or transfer of assets; and

  • courts, regulators or other parties where required by law or to protect our rights, users or the public.


We do not sell personal information. We do not share website enquiry data with lenders for the purpose of offering you a loan.

If a customer instructs us to transmit Customer Data to an integration or counterparty chosen by that customer, we do so as part of providing the software. That sharing is controlled by the customer.

7. PROCESSORS AND INFRASTRUCTURE


We use specialised service providers to host, secure, monitor and operate the services. Those providers are permitted to process information only for the purposes we specify, such as:

​

  • cloud hosting and storage;

  • email, SMS or other transactional communications;

  • customer-support tooling;

  • payment processing, where fees are collected;

  • analytics required to operate the website; and

  • security monitoring.


We require such providers to implement appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.

8. STORAGE AND LOCATION


We store information using reasonably secure systems. Where practicable, production data for Indian customers is hosted in India.

If any processing occurs outside India, it will be limited to what is needed to operate the services and will be undertaken in accordance with applicable law and, for Customer Data, the customer’s instructions and contract.

9. RETENTION


We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including:

the duration of an enquiry, account or subscription;

statutory, tax, accounting or audit periods;

security, dispute and fraud-prevention need; and

any longer period required by a signed customer contract or by law.

When retention is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or otherwise make the information inaccessible using documented procedures, except where backup copies are overwritten in the ordinary course.

10. INFORMATION SECURITY


Arion Ratings Private Limited implements reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse and cyberattacks.

Measures may include encryption, access controls, authentication, network security, secure development practices, monitoring, audit logging, vulnerability management and restricted employee access.

No electronic system can guarantee absolute security. We maintain safeguards proportionate to the nature of the information being processed.

11. SECURITY INCIDENTS


We maintain procedures for identifying, containing, investigating and responding to information-security incidents.

Where an incident affects Customer Data processed for a business customer, we will notify that customer in accordance with the applicable agreement and applicable law. Regulatory authorities and affected individuals will be notified where required.

12. COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS


Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for;

​

  • website operation; security;

  • session management;

  • performance monitoring; and

  • analytics.


Where legally required, non-essential tracking technologies will be used only after obtaining appropriate consent. You may also control cookies through your browser settings, which may affect how the website functions.

Arion Ratings Private Limited does not use cookies to obtain unauthorised access to information stored on your device.

13. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS


Promotional communications about our software and services will be sent only in accordance with applicable consent and telecommunications requirements.

Transactional messages relating to an account, security event, invoice, support request or service notice may continue where needed to provide the service.

If your information was submitted to our software by a business customer, we may direct you to that customer, who is responsible for responding as the party that controls the relevant processing.

Some information cannot be deleted where retention is required by law, contract, security, dispute resolution or other lawful grounds.

16. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES


Our website may contain links to third-party sites. Those sites are governed by their own privacy practices. Arion Ratings Private Limited is not responsible for third-party websites we do not control.
