06

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on which law applies to you, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act)

  • Consent — you provide your data voluntarily by filling in our contact form or booking a call.
  • Legitimate uses — processing necessary for providing services you have requested, maintaining business records, and complying with legal obligations.

Under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK GDPR)

For visitors and clients based in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we also rely on:

  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — responding to your business enquiry, analysing website usage in aggregate, maintaining business records. Our legitimate interests do not override your rights.
  • Contract (Article 6(1)(b)) — processing necessary for the performance of a contract (i.e. delivering services you have engaged us for).
  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for optional analytics cookies, where you have given consent via our cookie banner.
  • Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — retaining records required by applicable law.

International transfers

BinaryBits is based in India. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or other jurisdictions with data transfer restrictions, be aware that your data may be transferred to and processed in India. India's DPDP Act 2023 governs data protection in India. For GDPR purposes, where we transfer data to third-party processors (e.g. HubSpot, Google), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or the processor's own adequacy mechanisms.

How We Protect Your Data

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or alteration. These measures include:

  • HTTPS / TLS encryption — all data transmitted between your browser and binarybits.co is encrypted in transit.
  • Access controls — personal data in our CRM (HubSpot) is accessible only to authorised BinaryBits team members who need it to perform their role.
  • Reputable third-party processors — we only use established, security-certified services (Google, HubSpot, Calendly) that maintain industry-standard security programmes.
  • No unnecessary storage — we do not store payment card information. Any invoicing is handled via bank transfer or payment platforms that are PCI-DSS compliant.
  • Regular review — we periodically review our data handling practices and update them as our tools or processes change.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframes required by applicable law.
