Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BetaClimate ("we", "us", "our") designs and operates outdoor air purification systems, including the VAAN standalone unit, the AntiPollution mobile fleet, and the VAAN OS monitoring platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, contact us, or interact with our deployed hardware and software, and how that information is used.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Contact information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and organisation, when you submit an enquiry form or request a demo.
• Site and deployment data such as proposed installation locations, site specifications, and ESG or CSR reporting requirements shared with us during a deployment discussion.
• Environmental and sensor data generated by deployed VAAN and AntiPollution units, including real-time AQI, PM2.5/PM10/PM1 readings, wind data, filter status, and operating logs, which feed into the VAAN OS dashboard.
• Usage data from our website and VAAN OS platform, such as pages visited, browser type, device information, and approximate location, typically collected through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries, schedule demonstrations, and prepare deployment proposals.
• Operate, monitor, and maintain VAAN and AntiPollution units, including remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance through VAAN AI.
• Generate verified before/after air quality reports for clients, ESG disclosures, and carbon credit documentation.
• Improve our products, filtration performance, and the VAAN OS platform.
• Communicate updates, service notices, and marketing materials, where you have consented to receive them.
• Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and government certification requirements.

4. Environmental Data & Reporting

Air quality data collected by our units is aggregated and, where relevant, independently referenced against third-party verification bodies (such as NITTTR Chandigarh) for performance validation. Site-level AQI data shared with a client for ESG or CSR reporting is treated as confidential business information and is not shared with unrelated third parties without consent, except where required for independent certification.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate our website, hosting, analytics, and VAAN OS infrastructure, under confidentiality obligations.
• Independent certification and testing bodies, solely for the purpose of performance verification.
• Government or regulatory authorities, where legally required.
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring of BetaClimate.

6. Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect the information we hold, including access controls on VAAN OS dashboards and encrypted transmission of sensor data where applicable. No system is completely secure, and we encourage clients to use strong credentials for any dashboard access we provide.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal and deployment information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including ongoing service delivery, reporting obligations, and any applicable legal retention periods. Aggregated, anonymised environmental data may be retained indefinitely for research and product improvement.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are directed at businesses, municipalities, and organisations, and are not intended for use by children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
