Where processing is based on consent and applicable law provides a right to withdraw that consent, you may withdraw consent by contacting us using the details provided below.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, consent is required to be free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous, with a clear affirmative action, where consent is the applicable basis for processing.

If you have previously submitted personal information to us and would like to request correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, or clarification regarding its use, you may contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.
We will consider and process your request in accordance with applicable law.
Please understand that deletion may not always be immediately possible where information must be retained to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, contractual, dispute-resolution, fraud-prevention, or other legitimate obligations.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as required or permitted by applicable law.
Retention periods may depend on:
- The nature of the information
- The purpose for which it was collected
- Whether an ongoing business or service relationship exists
- Legal and regulatory requirements
- Accounting or record-keeping obligations
- The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
- Security, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution requirements
When personal information is no longer reasonably required and there is no legal or legitimate reason to retain it, we may delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it.
12. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, loss, or destruction.
The Website is delivered through Cloudflare infrastructure, which provides security and network protection services.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while we take reasonable measures to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our enquiry and service-request forms use Web3Forms to process and deliver submissions. These forms also use hCaptcha for human verification and spam prevention. Information you submit is processed to respond to your request; verification services may process technical information needed to assess automated activity. Please review Web3Forms privacy information and hCaptcha privacy information.
The Website may contain links, contact methods, embedded content, or references to third-party websites, platforms, products, or services.
If you follow a third-party link or interact directly with a third-party service, your interaction may be governed by that third party’s own privacy policy, terms, and practices.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services that we do not control.
We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before providing personal information to third parties.
14. Communications
If you contact us through a form, telephone call, email, or another communication channel made available by us, we may use the information you provide to respond to your request and communicate with you regarding the relevant enquiry, product, service, quotation, support request, or business relationship.
We do not sell your contact information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
Where applicable law requires consent for promotional communications, we will obtain or rely upon the appropriate legal basis and provide applicable choices or opt-out mechanisms.
15. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended primarily for businesses, professionals, organisations, and other users seeking information about industrial water-treatment products and services.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where such collection was not appropriate, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.
16. International Data Processing
Because the Website uses Internet-based infrastructure and third-party technology providers, information may be processed or stored in locations outside your state or country where permitted by applicable law.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be applied to such processing or transfers.
Cloudflare maintains its own policies and contractual mechanisms concerning international data processing and transfers.
17. Business Transfers
If QIK undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, financing transaction, reorganisation, or other corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction where legally permitted.
Any such transfer will remain subject to applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.
