Privacy policy

This portal is used by officers of DPIIT, of the bodies under it and of the State/UT Governments to report and verify the progress of PM Ekta Malls. It does not collect information from members of the public.

What is recorded

• For each officer: name, designation, organisation, official e-mail and telephone, as entered by the administrator.
• The returns, verifications, issues and photographs entered by officers, with the location and time at which each photograph was taken.
• A trail of every action: who, what, when and from which network address (as required by CERT-In directions).

Use and sharing

The information is used only to monitor the progress of PM Ekta Malls. It is visible only to the officers whose role requires it, as described in the user help book, and is not shared outside the Government.

Storage and security

All information is stored on servers in India, over encrypted connections, with password-protected logins and daily backups. The portal uses one cookie to keep an officer signed in; it uses no advertising or tracking cookies and loads nothing from outside servers.

Retention

Records are kept for the period required by DPIIT for the scheme and the applicable rules on the preservation of records.
