4. Consent and the registration checkbox
When you register for Dhanam Growth Summit 2026 you are asked to tick a consent box. It is not ticked for you, and we will not treat your silence or inaction as consent.
What ticking the box means. You agree that Dhanam Business Media may share your contact information with the partners and sponsors of Dhanam Growth Summit 2026, and that those organisations may contact you with updates, news and offers by email, post, telephone or WhatsApp. You also confirm that you have read this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.
You can withdraw this consent at any time, free of charge, using the details in section 16. Withdrawing it will not stop you from attending the summit.
Under the DPDP Act, your consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, and given by a clear affirmative action. Consent covers only the purposes described in this notice. If we ever want to use your personal data for a materially different purpose, we will ask you again.
5. Sharing with event partners and sponsors
Where you have given the consent described in section 4, we share your name, designation, organisation, email address and mobile number with the organisations that partner or sponsor Dhanam Growth Summit 2026. The current partners are listed on the summit page, and the list is updated as partners are confirmed.
Once your details have been shared, each of those organisations is responsible for how it uses them, and its own privacy notice applies. If you no longer wish to hear from a particular partner, contact that organisation directly. You may also contact us and we will tell you which organisations your details were shared with.
Withdrawing your consent stops any further sharing, but it cannot recall details that have already been shared.
6. Others who process data for us
We use service providers who process personal data on our instructions and under contract. These include our event registration and customer relationship platform, our payment gateway, our email and messaging providers, our website analytics provider, and, where the venue requires it for access or security, the venue operator.
We do not sell your personal data.
7. Photography, filming and recording
We photograph, film and record our events. This material may be used in Dhanam Magazine, on DhanamOnline, on our social media channels, and in promotional material for future Dhanam events.
If you would prefer not to appear, please tell the registration desk when you arrive, or write to us in advance, and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate you. In a room of several hundred delegates we cannot guarantee that you will not appear incidentally in wide shots of the audience.
8. Payments
Delegate pass payments are processed through a third-party payment gateway. Your card, netbanking or UPI details are entered on the gateway’s systems and are not seen or stored by us. The gateway processes that information under its own privacy policy and under applicable payment industry standards.
9. How long we keep your data
We keep your personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this notice, or for as long as the law requires.
- Registration and payment records are kept for the period required under applicable tax and company law.
- Contact details used for updates about our publications and events are kept until you withdraw consent or ask us to erase them.
- Website analytics data is kept in line with the retention settings of our analytics provider.
When personal data is no longer needed and there is no legal reason to retain it, we erase it or anonymise it.
10. Your rights
Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:
- Ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how we are processing it, and the identities of others with whom it has been shared.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 16. We may ask you to verify your identity before we act, so that we do not disclose your data to someone else.
11. Withdrawing your consent
You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to the address in section 16. It costs nothing and you do not need to give a reason. We will act on your request within a reasonable period.
Withdrawing consent does not make unlawful anything we did while your consent was valid, and it does not recall personal data already shared with partners or sponsors before you withdrew. We may still keep and process data where the law requires us to, for example accounting records.
12. Children
Dhanam Growth Summit 2026 and this website are intended for adults. We do not knowingly process the personal data of anyone under 18 without the verifiable consent of a parent or lawful guardian, and we do not undertake tracking, behavioural monitoring or targeted advertising directed at children.
