Consent Notice

When you submit any form on VERDICT 2026 (account, audition, tickets, sponsorship, support or contact), you agree to our Terms & Conditions and consent to the processing of your personal data as described here, under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

What we collect and why

• Identity & contact (name, email, mobile) — to create your account, send passes, invoices and service messages.
• Audition material (photo, video, social links) — to review your entry and, if approved, show your profile publicly during the tournament.
• Payment records — processed by Razorpay; we keep invoices as required by GST law.
• Support messages — to resolve your query or grievance.

Your rights

• Withdraw consent, or ask to access, correct or erase your data, by writing to our Grievance Officer (see the Grievance page).
• Withdrawal does not affect processing already done, and records we must keep by law (for example tax invoices) are retained for the legal period.

Retention

Account and audition data is kept until one year after the tournament unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Identity documents are deleted after the event.
