Privacy policy

India Startup Safari is organised and this website is operated by D2D YouthStory Media Private Limited, under the d2d YouthStory brand. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to this company.

Information you provide

Depending on the form you use, we collect your name, email, phone number, city, college/school/university, organisation, role, sector, booking selections and the messages or links you submit. Speaker, investor, creator and award applications may include additional professional or project information requested in the form. Team accounts store the information needed to manage event work. Avoid submitting confidential project material that is not needed for your enquiry.

Why we use it

We use this information to respond to enquiries, manage registrations and exhibition requests, coordinate school and college participation, assess applications, provide event updates, administer partnerships and maintain booking records. Information collected for an enquiry is handled for that enquiry and related event arrangements. Please contact us if you no longer wish to receive optional updates.

Service providers and sharing

Authorised event staff and providers supporting website hosting, email, registration or payment services may process the information necessary for those activities. Payments follow the payment provider’s own notice and terms; this website’s registration forms do not request your card number or bank password. Investor introductions, directory entries and partner lead-sharing should follow the details and permissions agreed for the relevant activity.

School groups and young participants

Parents, guardians and school coordinators should contact the team to arrange participation by children. Use an adult coordinator’s contact information for initial school enquiries. Please do not upload children’s identity documents or personal records in general enquiry forms. The team will coordinate appropriate permissions and supervision before school-group participation.

Cookies and external services

Essential browser storage and cookies may support login, website security and basic functions. External links, maps, embedded media or payment services may operate under separate privacy notices. Check their notices when you choose to use those services. Your browser settings can restrict cookies, although some functions may then be unavailable.

Event photographs and public submissions

Event coverage may include photographs and video. Contact the team about photography concerns or a published image involving you. Material supplied for a speaker profile, exhibitor listing or other public event feature is distinct from private registration contact information; confirm the intended use with the team when providing it.

Retention, corrections and requests

Booking and enquiry records are kept for event administration, follow-up, accounting and applicable recordkeeping needs. You may ask us to correct your details, explain their use, withdraw an optional permission or consider a deletion request. Some records may need to be retained for a legal obligation or unresolved transaction. We will assess requests in line with the applicable requirements.

Contact the organiser

For privacy requests, booking queries or complaints, contact D2D YouthStory Media Private Limited at info@indiastartupsafari.com. Please include your booking reference if relevant. Do not send passwords, card details or identity documents unless specifically requested through an agreed secure process.
