Privacy Policy & Data Governance

Last Updated: October 2026 · Governing Entity: Merit & Beyond

Professional Governance Note: As a People & Business Advisory firm, Merit & Beyond treats confidentiality as a non-negotiable obligation. This policy outlines how inquiry data is collected, processed, and safeguarded.

1. Information We Collect

Through our website contact and workshop interest forms, we collect basic business contact details: full name, email address, phone number, organisation name, role, and the description of the requirement you provide.

We explicitly advise prospective clients not to submit sensitive employee personal data, national identity numbers, payroll spreadsheets, or confidential proprietary files through initial website open forms.

2. Purpose of Processing

Collected information is used exclusively to evaluate advisory requirements, respond to consultations, coordinate workshop participation, and issue requested service proposals. We do not sell or rent contact data to commercial third parties.

3. Data Retention & Security

Inquiry submissions and lead records are stored in secure, access-controlled repositories. Data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill professional consulting communication or comply with statutory record-keeping obligations.

4. Compliance with Applicable Law

Our data processing practices align with applicable Indian information technology and digital personal data protection standards.

5. Contact Point for Privacy Inquiries
