Clickpower ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website www.clickpower.in and related digital services for power-market intelligence, trading support, regulatory compliance disclosures, and peer-to-peer (P2P) solar energy trading information in India.

By using our website or submitting information through our forms, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required under law, we will seek it separately — for example, before placing non-essential analytics cookies on your device.

3.3 Server and security logs
Like most websites, our servers may automatically record technical information such as IP address, request timestamps, URLs accessed, and error logs. We use these logs to maintain security, diagnose faults, and protect the integrity of our services.
5. How we use your information
We use personal data for legitimate business purposes, including to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide information about our products and services

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use analytics data to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
6. Legal basis and consent
Under the DPDP Act and related guidance, we rely on one or more of the following, as applicable:
- Consent: for example, when you submit a contact form, accept analytics cookies, or voluntarily provide information.
- Legitimate uses: where permitted by law for purposes such as responding to your requests, ensuring network and information security, or complying with legal obligations.
- Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to meet regulatory, tax, or statutory requirements in the power sector.
Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal, and some services may not function if required data is not provided.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law. Indicative retention periods:
- Contact enquiries: typically up to 3 years from last interaction

9. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include access controls, encrypted connections (HTTPS) where supported, and restricted access to production systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Obtain information about the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request erasure of data where legally permitted
