Scope
This Policy applies to the Statcon Powtech Android app, the web dashboard, and supporting infrastructure that connect to SunPunch solar inverter RMS data loggers. It explains how we collect, use, share, secure, and retain personal information and device/telemetry data when users create accounts, pair devices, view telemetry, generate reports, and receive support.
Statcon Powtech Private Limited acts as a Data Fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (“DPDPA”) 2023 and DPDP Rules 2025, determining the purpose and means of processing your personal data. You, as a user of our Services, are the Data Principal whose rights are protected under this Act.
The DPDPA grants you specific rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, erase, and nominate representatives to exercise your rights. We are committed to respecting these rights and ensuring transparent data processing practices.
What we collect
Account and identity data
Email/username and password (stored using industry‑standard hashing), optional phone number, and optional profile photo.
Social sign‑in: Via Google (or future providers like Apple/Facebook), we receive name, email, profile image per provider consent screen, used solely for authentication. Providers' policies apply; we delete post-unlink unless needed for security.
Device and operations data
Device identity and pairing data: inverter model and serial number, RMS module identifiers, configuration metadata.
Telemetry and performance: power, voltage, current, PV input, grid values, battery parameters (charge/discharge power and state of charge), temperatures, alarms/fault codes, timestamps, firmware/runtime status. These variables are subject to change and shall be updated time to time.
Reports: data contained in reports the user generates.
Technical and usage data
App and device information (app version, device model, OS version), IP address, time zone, language, authentication and security logs.
Bluetooth and location
Bluetooth: used solely to provision RMS modules and communicate with the data logger.
Location: we do not store precise location; where Android requires location permission to scan for Bluetooth, we only use it to enable provisioning.
Support and communications
Messages, attachments, and metadata submitted via support channels and feedback forms.
We do not collect any payment information, as the Services are free at launch. If we do require such information, we will seek consent and we will update this Policy.
How we use information
Deliver core functionality: account setup, device onboarding, secure connections, telemetry visualization, charts/analytics, configuration management, and report generation.
Safety, reliability, and security: detect faults/alarms, enforce access control, prevent abuse and fraud, protect users and equipment.
Support and operations: respond to tickets, troubleshoot connectivity/performance, and improve service quality.
Product improvement: evaluate features and performance; at launch we do not use third‑party analytics or crash reporting. If we add such tools later, we will update this Policy and, where required.
Legal and compliance: comply with applicable laws, enforce terms, and respond to lawful requests.
Legal bases (GDPR/UK GDPR, where applicable)
Contract performance: providing the Services and related support.
Legitimate interests: ensuring security, reliability, and improving features in a manner balanced against user privacy.
Consent: optional features such as future push alerts; marketing (if introduced).
Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose data.
Sharing and disclosures
We do not sell personal information. We share data only with:
Service providers/sub‑processors/Data processors under written contracts (e.g., AWS IoT Core, email/SMS and identity providers) for hosting/connectivity, authentication, and support.
Professional advisers (auditors, legal counsel) bound by confidentiality.
Affiliates (if any) for internal processing consistent with this Policy.
Authorities/third parties when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and property.
Business transfers: in a merger/acquisition, data may transfer under safeguards consistent with this Policy.
Storage locations and international transfers
Primary storage: Cloud storage/compute (e.g. EC2/RDS) in India. We use AWS IoT Core for device connectivity. International transfers: when personal data is transferred outside a user’s jurisdiction, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) where required.
Retention
Account/profile: retained for the life of the account and a reasonable post‑closure period for security, support, and legal obligations.
Telemetry: retained for 3 years by default; may change as services evolve. Aggregated/anonymized telemetry may be retained for reliability analytics.
Support records: retained as needed for compliance, quality assurance, and dispute resolution.
Automated deletion: We delete or anonymize data when retention ends, unless longer retention is required by law.
Legal Holds: In certain circumstances (e.g., ongoing litigation, regulatory investigation, or legal obligations), we may retain data beyond standard retention periods.
Security
We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards aligned with industry practices, including encryption in transit, role‑based access control, secure key management, and monitored infrastructure. No method is 100% secure; we continuously improve our protections.
Under DPDP Rules 2025, Data Fiduciaries must:
Immediately notify the Data Protection Board of India upon becoming aware of a breach
Provide a comprehensive update within 72 hours including nature, extent, timing, location, and likely impact
Notify affected Data Principals promptly (unlike GDPR, there is no risk threshold, hence all breaches must be reported)
Maintain breach logs for one year
Children’s privacy and device safety
Our Services are intended only for adults and qualified personnel aged 18 years and above and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly offer the app to, or process personal data of, individuals under 18 years of age. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided personal data, we will take reasonable steps to delete that data and disable the related account. Because the app can monitor and modify inverter configuration, access should be limited to authorized users only.
Roles and access control
Mobile app: end‑user access without RBAC at launch.
Web dashboard: role‑based access control (RBAC). Organization admins and Statcon Powtech super‑admins can grant/revoke access to sites/devices; administrative actions may be logged for accountability.
