Decipher Consultancy Services is a registered Technology Provider on Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. Where we provide WhatsApp API integration or messaging infrastructure services to our business clients ("Client Businesses"), this section explains how data is handled in that specific context, separately from the personal data practices described elsewhere in this policy.
When acting as a Technology Provider, Decipher facilitates the connection between a Client Business and Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. In this capacity, Decipher acts as a data processor on behalf of the Client Business, which remains the data controller / fiduciary for its own end-customer data and message content. Decipher does not use Client Business data, or the personal data of a Client Business's end customers, for any purpose other than providing the contracted messaging infrastructure service.
Decipher does not access, read, or store the content of end-customer message conversations beyond what is technically necessary to deliver the messaging service (e.g., transient processing for delivery), and does not use this data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the service provided.
As required to operate the WhatsApp Business Platform, relevant account and message delivery data is shared with Meta Platforms, Inc. in accordance with Meta's own Platform Terms, WhatsApp Business API Terms, and Privacy Policy. We encourage Client Businesses to review Meta's WhatsApp Business Policy for details on Meta's own data handling.
Business account credentials and configuration data are retained for the duration of the Client Business's active service engagement with Decipher, and deleted within 30 days of account disconnection or a valid data deletion request, whichever occurs first, unless a longer period is required for legal or regulatory compliance.
A Client Business may request access, correction, or deletion of the data described in this section at any time by contacting info@decipherconsultancy.in, or by disconnecting their WhatsApp Business Account through Meta's WhatsApp Manager, which independently owns and controls their account and its data.
Our services are not directed at individuals below the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. In accordance with Section 9 of the DPDP Act, if we become aware that we have collected data from a child without verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.
If you have any concerns or complaints regarding the processing of your personal data, you may:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
