Robust technical and organizational security measures, including encryption, access controls, regular audits, and employee training, are implemented to protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

4. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

BGS complies with applicable Indian laws (Information Technology Act, 2000 and DPDP Act, 2023) and, where relevant, international laws such as the EU GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Compliance ensures lawful processing and upholds individual rights globally.

5. Data Retention and Disposal

Data is retained only as long as necessary for its intended purpose or to meet legal obligations. Once expired, it is securely deleted or anonymized to prevent unauthorized recovery.

Individuals may request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, or portability of their data. Requests are handled promptly and transparently, in compliance with applicable laws. EU residents also have GDPR rights, and California residents have CCPA rights, including the right to opt out of the sale of personal data.

8. Data Breach Response

In the event of a data breach, we will investigate promptly, contain risks, notify affected individuals and authorities where required, and implement corrective measures to prevent recurrence.
