For the personal data described in this policy, the Company is the Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act: we decide why and how that data is processed.

Our group businesses, such as ReadyRetail and ReadyDelivery, operate their own websites and services, which have their own privacy notices. This policy covers only this website and the Company's own processing described below.

  • this website and the enquiry form on it;

  • our shareholders and investors, and investor grievances;
  • our business contacts, partners and suppliers.

We process personal data in line with:

  • the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, including provisions that come into force in phases;
  • the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, for as long as they continue to apply;

05Why we use it, and on what basis

Your browser may store small technical files needed for the website to display and work correctly. These do not identify you and are not used to track you across other websites.

If we introduce analytics or any non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and, where the law requires, ask for your consent first.

07Who we share it with

We share personal data only where it is necessary for the purposes above, and only with:

  • Data Processors acting on our instructions under a valid contract — for example, our website hosting provider, email service provider and IT service providers. They may use the data only to provide their services to us and must protect it.
  • Our Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Purva Sharegistry (India) Private Limited (SEBI Registration No. INR000001112), and the depositories (NSDL and CDSL), for shareholder services.
  • Stock exchanges, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, tax authorities and other regulators, where a law requires us to file or disclose information.
  • Courts, tribunals, law enforcement and government agencies, where we are legally required to, or to protect our rights, our people or the public.
  • Our professional advisers, such as auditors and legal counsel, under a duty of confidentiality.
  • A successor entity, if the Company is involved in a merger, amalgamation or similar arrangement approved under law.

We do not share personal data with our group businesses for their own marketing. If your enquiry concerns one of them, we will pass it on only so that it can respond to you.

08Where your data is stored

We aim to store and process personal data in India. Some of our service providers may store or process data outside India.

Under section 16 of the DPDP Act, personal data may be transferred outside India except to a country or territory that the Central Government has restricted by notification. We do not transfer personal data to any restricted country or territory, and we require our service providers to protect it to the standard required by Indian law.

Logs of our information and communication technology systems are maintained in line with the CERT-In Directions, which require them to be kept within Indian jurisdiction.

09How long we keep it

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as the law requires. When it is no longer needed, we erase it, and we require our Data Processors to do the same.

Personal dataRetention
Enquiries and correspondenceUp to 24 months from our last exchange, unless a longer period is needed for a continuing relationship or a legal claim.
Job applicationsUp to 12 months, so that we can consider you for other suitable roles, unless you ask us to erase it sooner.
Shareholder and investor recordsFor the periods prescribed by the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI regulations and other applicable law.
Website technical logsAt least one year, as required by the DPDP Rules, 2025 and the CERT-In Directions, and then erased unless needed to investigate an incident.

10How we protect it

We take reasonable security safeguards to prevent personal data breaches, as required by section 8(5) of the DPDP Act, the DPDP Rules, 2025 and the SPDI Rules, 2011. These include:

  • encryption of data in transit using HTTPS (TLS) across the website;
  • access to personal data limited to people who need it for their role, with appropriate authentication;
  • logging and monitoring of access to our systems so that unauthorised access can be detected and investigated;
  • secure hosting, regular updates and backups, and measures to keep data available if a system is compromised;
  • contracts with Data Processors that require them to apply equivalent safeguards;
  • confidentiality obligations for our employees and advisers.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.

11If a data breach happens

If a personal data breach occurs, we will:

  • take immediate steps to contain it and reduce its impact;
  • inform each affected Data Principal without delay, in clear language — describing the breach, its likely consequences, what we are doing about it, the steps you can take to protect yourself, and who you can contact;
  • inform the Data Protection Board of India without delay, and provide a detailed report within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, or such longer period as the Board allows;
  • report cyber security incidents to CERT-In within six hours of noticing them, as required by the CERT-In Directions.

12Your rights

As a Data Principal under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:

  • Access information — obtain a summary of the personal data we process about you, the processing activities, and the identities of the Data Fiduciaries and Data Processors with whom it has been shared (section 11).
  • Correction and erasure — have inaccurate or misleading data corrected, incomplete data completed, outdated data updated, and data erased when it is no longer needed, unless we must keep it to comply with law (section 12).
  • Withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent, withdraw it at any time, as easily as you gave it. This does not affect processing already carried out, and we will stop processing within a reasonable time (section 6).
  • Grievance redressal — have a grievance about our processing handled by us (section 13).
  • Nominate — nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become incapable of exercising them (section 14).

To exercise any of these rights, write to cs@continentalcontrols.co.in with the subject “Data request”. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will respond within the time limits set by the DPDP Act and Rules, and in any case within 90 days.

Shareholders: to update your address, bank details, nomination or other KYC information, please follow the process on our Shareholder services page, as these changes are handled by our Registrar and your depository participant under SEBI rules.

13Your duties

Section 15 of the DPDP Act also places duties on Data Principals. When you share personal data with us or exercise your rights, you must comply with applicable law, not impersonate another person, not suppress material information when providing data for an official document, not register a false or frivolous grievance or complaint, and provide only information that is verifiably authentic when asking for correction or erasure.

Breach of these duties can attract a penalty of up to ₹10,000 under the DPDP Act.

14Children and persons with disabilities

This website is not directed at children. Under the DPDP Act, a child is anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and we do not track, behaviourally monitor or target advertising at children.

Where we need to process a child's personal data — for example, a minor who holds shares through a guardian — we will do so only with the verifiable consent of a parent or lawful guardian, as required by section 9 of the DPDP Act and the DPDP Rules, 2025. The same applies to a person with a disability who has a lawful guardian.

If you believe a child has sent us personal data without that consent, please contact us and we will erase it.

15Grievance Officer and how to complain

If you have a question or a complaint about how we handle personal data, please contact our Grievance Officer, who is also the person able to answer questions about our processing under section 8(9) of the DPDP Act:
