Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the ICRDET 2027 organising committee — operating under Kasireddy Narayanreddy College of Engineering & Research (KNRCER), Hyderabad — handles personal information collected through this website. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We collect the following categories of personal information:

• Contact Form Data: Name, email address, phone number, institution name, and message content when you fill the contact form.
• Paper Submission Data: Author names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, and paper details submitted through the Microsoft CMT platform. Note: CMT submissions are governed by Microsoft's own privacy policy.
• Registration Data: Author names and payment transaction references submitted through the registration Google Form. We do not collect or store your payment card details directly.
• Newsletter Subscriptions: Email addresses provided voluntarily for conference updates.
• Usage Data: Standard web server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and visit duration. This data is used solely for site performance monitoring.

Your personal data is used only for the following purposes:

• Responding to your enquiries through the contact form
• Processing paper submissions, review notifications, and acceptance communications
• Confirming registration and sending conference schedule details
• Sending conference-related announcements and updates to subscribers
• Compiling the official proceedings — author names and institutional affiliations are published in the Taylor & Francis proceedings as part of the academic record
• Analysing website performance through anonymised usage statistics

We do not use your personal data for marketing unrelated to ICRDET 2027, and we do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.

We share your data only where necessary for conference operations:

• Taylor & Francis / Routledge: Author names, affiliations, and paper metadata are shared with the publisher to produce the conference proceedings. This is a standard academic publishing requirement.
• Microsoft CMT: Paper submission data is handled through CMT, which is Microsoft's platform. Microsoft's privacy policy governs that data.
• Review Committee: Submitted papers are shared anonymously (author details removed) with reviewers. Reviewer identities are not disclosed to authors.

This website uses basic session cookies to maintain functionality and a preference cookie to store whether you have dismissed the cookie consent banner. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; however, some functionality may not work as intended. Our cookie usage complies with standard web practices for informational websites.

We take reasonable precautions to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. The website is served over HTTPS. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We encourage you to avoid including sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly necessary in your contact form submissions.

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data from our mailing list or enquiry records (subject to legal and academic retention obligations)
• Withdraw consent to receiving conference newsletters at any time

Note: Author names and institutional details published in conference proceedings cannot be removed once the proceedings are finalised, as this forms part of the permanent academic record.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal requirements. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
