Proprietary Information includes non-public information provided by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party regarding features, functionality, and performance of this Agreement.

6.1 Billing and Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form based on the billing structure and payment terms as indicated in the Order Form.

If Customer believes that DECTIFY has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact DECTIFY no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact DECTIFY within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim.

DECTIFY shall provide at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.

Last Updated: October 15, 2025
Overview
This privacy notice ("Privacy Notice") is intended to help you ("you" or "your") understand how DECTIFY Technologies Private Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("DECTIFY," "we," "us" or "our") collect, use, disclose, and safeguard the information you provide to us via (1) the DECTIFY website located at http://www.dectify.in, including, without limitation, all sub-domains thereof on which this Privacy Notice is posted (collectively, the "Site") and (2) the DECTIFY Services. All terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in our "Terms and Conditions".
By using or accessing the Site and/or the DECTIFY Services, you signify your acknowledgment and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data (as defined below) in accordance with this Privacy Notice. If you do not agree to this Privacy Notice, please do not use or access the Site and/or the DECTIFY Services. DECTIFY may revise this Privacy Notice at any time by updating this posting. We will keep this Privacy Notice under regular review and will provide any updates here. The "Last Updated" section at the top of this Privacy Notice states when this notice was last updated. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Notice to stay informed about how we collect, use, and share Personal Data.
Disclosure
By logging into the Site, you acknowledge that you are accessing a restricted information system. All system usage may be monitored, recorded, and subject to audit. This monitoring relates solely to system performance and usage patterns. It does not include access to or monitoring of Customer Data. Unauthorized use of the system is prohibited and subject to criminal and civil penalties under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and related legislation; and any use of the system indicates consent to monitoring and recording.
Collection of Personal Data
The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to inform you of the Personal Data DECTIFY collects, how we use it, and to describe your rights or options regarding such use. For clarity, personal data, as used in this Privacy Notice, means any data that relates to an identifiable individual or data that may be used to identify an individual, directly or indirectly, in conjunction with other information ("Personal Data"). This may include things such as your full name, contact information, email address, mailing address, phone number, device IDs, certain cookie and network identifiers, and any content captured by our products that may be used to identify an individual.
We gather various types of Personal Data from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Data internally in connection with the DECTIFY Services, including to administer, operate, and/or improve the DECTIFY Services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to provide you with a better Site navigation experience, to contact you and allow other users to contact you with information relevant to your use of or interaction with the DECTIFY Services, and to fulfill your requests or inquiries.

Your DECTIFY Hardware and Other DECTIFY Products
Information Input During Setup: When you set up your account, you may be asked for certain basic information, including, but not limited to, your device name, description, and geolocation. This information is used to personalize your experience (e.g., to tell you which device is triggering a notification). For purposes of this Privacy Notice, "device" refers to any tool used to access the DECTIFY Services and/or products.
Environmental Data from Sensors
We collect data from sensors built into some of our devices or products installed. These sensors collect data such as device temperature and ambient light. By recording this information, your device can know, for instance, to turn on night vision if it is dark outside.
Video, Images and Audio Signals and Data
After you begin using your device, we may process information from your device, so that we can send you alerts such as when a suspect vehicle passes the device. When you access the DECTIFY Services, you will have access to images, video, and/or audio recordings from your device, depending on the product. Additionally, we will capture, process, and store images, video, and/or audio recordings from your device for the duration of your designated retention period, which shall not exceed three (3) years from the last interaction with you or as required by applicable Indian law, whichever is earlier. You will have access to this data through the DECTIFY Services during your subscription, in accordance with the applicable data retention period. However, to ensure access, you must download them before the retention period ends, as they will no longer be available thereafter. DECTIFY shall notify you at least 48 hours before erasure of any data.
Technical Information from the Device
In order to improve your experience over time and help troubleshoot any problems you may encounter with your device, we may record technical information from your device such as software version and cellular signal strength.
Saved and Shared Content
You may save and choose to share certain content like video/audio clips, images, captions, and comments for other people to access using the DECTIFY Services. We will collect and store information that will allow us to save or share your content, as directed by you through the DECTIFY Services and in accordance with your terms and conditions.
Training Data
We may use a small fraction (less than 1%) of images captured by DECTIFY Services, which are stripped of all metadata and identifying information, for the limited purpose of improving our products and services through machine learning ("Training Data"). Training Data is used internally to help our systems better recognize vehicles, objects, and descriptions. For example, if a new vehicle model is released, we may use de-identified images of that vehicle to teach our system to accurately distinguish it from other vehicles. These images are never sold or shared with third parties. To protect your privacy, Training Data is maintained separately and is never combined in a way that could render it personally identifiable. Use of Training Data is essential to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of our services.
Data protection and privacy laws in India impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of our products. You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with all applicable laws when you use the DECTIFY Services or products, including, where so required, to execute a mutually agreed upon data protection agreement. Please note that recording and sharing content involving other people may affect their privacy and/or data protection rights.
Distinction Between Personal Data Captured Via the Site and Customer Data Captured by DECTIFY Hardware
DECTIFY Hardware captures video and images in public spaces where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy as per the principles established in K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India. This is referred to in our Terms and Conditions as Footage. While privacy laws grant individuals certain rights over their Personal Data (such as access, deletion, or correction), it is important to distinguish those rights from information captured in public spaces. DECTIFY's Footage does not contain Personal Data that connects that image to an identifiable individual in a manner that allows verification. As a result, DECTIFY cannot verify the identity of individuals whose effects (i.e., license plates or vehicles) appear in the Footage and are unable to process data subject requests related to such images.
DECTIFY's Security Practices Regarding Customer Data
DECTIFY's security posture for Customer Data starts before the devices are even installed. DECTIFY has a dedicated team, which maps out the best location for installation, all of which require that installations are in accordance with constitutional rights and the right to privacy as established under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. This means that DECTIFY's devices are never placed in a location where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as toilets, changing rooms, or other intimate spaces.
Footage is collected on DECTIFY's devices and transmitted from devices to secure cloud storage using encryption in transit and stored within a secure cloud infrastructure (organized according to customer lifecycle needs) for the period specified in your agreement, typically not exceeding ninety (90) days, or as long as required by applicable law or regulation, and then permanently deleted. In cases involving law enforcement or security applications, footage may be retained for up to eighteen (18) months or one (1) year as directed by applicable regulations. Direct access to this data is managed through secure identity and access management policies and roles. Customer Data is encrypted throughout the entire lifecycle and transmitted using TLS 1.2 or better and stored securely using AES256 encryption. Customer Data collected on DECTIFY's devices is stored locally until the device reaches storage capacity, or 7 days, whichever is sooner. While stored in the cloud, all data (both footage and metadata) is fully encrypted at rest using AES256.
Customer Data is owned by the Customer and only shared as directed by the Customer. Any license plate data or vehicle identification data that may be searched by authorized users requires justification to verify the legitimacy of the search and create an audit trail. Audit trails of data access and usage are maintained for at least one (1) year to enable accountability and traceability. Lastly, DECTIFY offers Customers training on how to properly use our system and best practices to communicate with their teams. Such users must learn how to enter legitimate reasons for search and how to audit searches as necessary. Customer Data is securely stored, transmitted, and deleted, and any access is contingent on authorized use. For more information on how DECTIFY prioritizes your security, please visit our Trust page.
Use of Personal Data
Other than as required to perform the DECTIFY Services, as disclosed to you when the information is collected, as required by law, or as described in this Privacy Notice, DECTIFY does not rent, sell, or otherwise distribute your Personal Data to third parties without your consent.

We may collect and use your Personal Data, including your mobile phone number, to communicate with you via SMS/text message for operational or support purposes, and, with your prior express consent where required by law, for promotional or marketing purposes, in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. By providing your mobile number, you consent to receive such operational and support-related messages from DECTIFY and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Standard message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of receiving promotional text messages at any time by following the instructions provided in the message or by contacting us at the details provided below.
Personal Data provided by users may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by DECTIFY and its subsidiaries and affiliates, subject to your consent. You may change these settings by selecting the "Your Marketing and Advertising Choices" link at the bottom of this Privacy Notice or by withdrawing your consent through the mechanisms provided.
Accountability for Onward Transfer
DECTIFY will only transfer Personal Data to third parties where: (a) the third party has provided written assurances that it will handle the data in a manner consistent with this Notice and applicable Indian data protection laws including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; or (b) the third party is located in a jurisdiction recognized by the Government of India as providing an adequate level of data protection.
If DECTIFY becomes aware that a third party is processing Personal Data in a manner inconsistent with this Notice or applicable Indian data protection laws, it will take reasonable steps to prevent or remediate the misuse.

License Plate Reader & FaceTrack Policy
Last Updated: October 15, 2025
License Plate Reader (LPR) System:
A system of one or more automated high-speed cameras used in combination with data processing to convert images of vehicles and license plates into computer-readable data.
FaceTrack System:
An automated facial recognition and tracking system that uses advanced computer vision and artificial intelligence to detect, capture, and analyze facial characteristics from video feeds for identification and security purposes.
LPR Alert:
A notification generated by an LPR system indicating that a vehicle passed an LPR camera with a license plate or vehicle characteristics that match data held by relevant law enforcement databases, the National Crime Information Center, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or other authorized database or hot list.
FaceTrack Alert:
A notification generated by the FaceTrack system indicating that facial recognition analysis has produced a match or threshold-exceeding similarity to individuals in authorized watch lists, missing persons databases, or customer-defined person-of-interest lists.
LPR Data:
Information collected by the LPR system, which includes:
• License plate image
• Vehicle image
• Vehicle characteristics (e.g., vehicle color, make, model)
• License plate number
• License plate state/jurisdiction
• Date and time of capture
• Camera location and identifier
FaceTrack Data:
Information collected by the FaceTrack system, which includes:
• Facial images and video frames
• Facial biometric templates and feature vectors
• Demographic estimates (where legally permitted and requested)
• Date and time of capture
• Camera location and identifier
• Match confidence scores
• Associated metadata (e.g., direction of travel, dwell time)
Purpose
The purpose of DECTIFY’s LPR and FaceTrack systems is to enhance public safety and security and to help customers obtain objective evidence to assist in crime prevention, investigation, and resolution. The FaceTrack system is designed specifically for identifying persons of interest, locating missing individuals, preventing unauthorized access, and supporting legitimate security operations.
Access and Authorization
Each DECTIFY customer will designate one or more “administrators” who serve as custodians and head administrators of the LPR and FaceTrack systems and their operation. Each customer’s data is accessible only to the administrator(s) and their authorized designees.
To provide customer support and address system issues, DECTIFY maintains a team of CJIS-certified engineers who are authorized to access customer LPR and FaceTrack systems solely for technical support and system maintenance purposes.
All queries of the LPR and FaceTrack systems are logged and stored for auditing purposes, including:
• Username of querying individual
• Date and time of query
• Purpose and justification of query
• Search parameters used (license plate number, facial image upload, etc.)
• Results returned by the query
• Any actions taken based on query results
This audit data is stored in the DECTIFY system to facilitate audits conducted according to each customer’s policies, ensuring that access was made by authorized personnel for legitimate purposes and in compliance with applicable laws and policies.
Training Requirements
All LPR and FaceTrack system users must receive comprehensive training from DECTIFY on the proper, lawful, and ethical use of the systems prior to being granted access. Training covers system operation, privacy considerations, biometric data handling, legal requirements, use limitations, and audit procedures. Additional specialized training is required for FaceTrack users covering facial recognition technology limitations, bias awareness, and verification protocols.
Data Security
DECTIFY employs industry-leading safeguards to protect LPR and FaceTrack data from unauthorized access, use, destruction, modification, or disclosure. DECTIFY’s information security policy and safeguards align with security requirements established by NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CISA Secure By Design principles. These protections include:
• Multi-factor authentication on all privileged administrator and customer accounts
• End-to-end encryption of data from camera to cloud storage using industry-validated cryptography
• Separate encrypted storage for biometric templates with enhanced access controls
• Role-based access controls to limit access to the minimum privileges necessary for authorized users
• Continuous security scanning and remediation of vulnerabilities on public-facing infrastructure
• Comprehensive audit logging and monitoring of user activity and system services to identify anomalies
• Responsible disclosure processes for security researchers to report vulnerabilities
• Third-party attestations demonstrating compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and applicable biometric data protection standards
Quality Assurance and Accuracy
DECTIFY LPR and FaceTrack systems maintain high rates of accuracy through advanced machine learning technology that continuously improves over time. The cameras include self-monitoring capabilities to ensure connectivity and functionality.
LPR Accuracy
Low-confidence plate reads trigger cautionary alerts to users. Although infrequent, license plate translation may be incomplete or inaccurate. False positives are flagged and analyzed to continuously improve system performance.
FaceTrack Accuracy
FaceTrack matching provides confidence scores with each result. The system is designed to minimize false positives while maintaining effective detection capabilities. Factors affecting accuracy include lighting conditions, camera angle, image quality, facial occlusion, and demographic variables. The system continuously undergoes bias testing and calibration across diverse populations.
Users must independently verify all computer-generated matches and translations prior to taking any action based on an LPR or FaceTrack alert or search result. Facial recognition matches should be considered investigative leads requiring human verification and corroboration through additional evidence.
DECTIFY stores LPR and FaceTrack data in secure cloud-based systems and ensures proper maintenance, security, and availability of all stored data.
Data Ownership and Release
Information gathered, collected, and retained by the DECTIFY system on behalf of customers is owned exclusively by the customer. This data will not be:
• Sold, published, exchanged, or disclosed for commercial purposes
• Disclosed or published without proper authorization
• Disseminated to persons not authorized to access or use the information
• Used to train DECTIFY’s algorithms or models without explicit customer consent
However, DECTIFY may access, use, preserve, and/or disclose LPR and FaceTrack data to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or third parties if legally required to do so or if DECTIFY has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
• Comply with a legal process, court order, subpoena, or lawful government request
• Enforce DECTIFY’s terms and conditions with the customer, including investigation of potential violations
• Detect, prevent, or address security threats, fraud, or technical issues
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of DECTIFY, its users, third parties, or the public as required or permitted by law, including responding to emergency situations
Data Retention
LPR and FaceTrack data is stored briefly on camera devices and then transferred to secure cloud storage infrastructure.
LPR Data Retention
LPR data is permanently deleted on a rolling 30-day basis from the date of capture.
FaceTrack Data Retention
FaceTrack facial images and video are permanently deleted on a rolling 30-day basis from the date of capture. Biometric templates and feature vectors derived from facial images are permanently deleted on a rolling 90-day basis, unless matched to an active watch list entry, in which case the data is retained only as long as the associated investigation or security concern remains active.
These represent DECTIFY’s default retention schedules and may be adjusted on a case-by-case basis if different retention periods are required by a customer’s applicable laws, regulations, or internal policies.
Upon request and in accordance with contractual terms, DECTIFY will provide customers with documentation confirming data deletion.
Privacy Protections
This policy governs the LPR and FaceTrack systems provided by DECTIFY Technologies.
Images and data stored in the systems are collected exclusively from areas visible to the public where individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy under applicable law. However, DECTIFY recognizes that facial recognition technology implicates significant privacy interests and biometric data protection laws.

Frequently Asked QuestionsThese guidelines are regularly reviewed by DECTIFY and are subject to change at our discretion. For further information and answers to some frequently asked questions regarding evidence, please read below.
What does DECTIFY do?
DECTIFY is a public safety technology platform that builds hardware and software to collect objective evidence, surface investigative insights, and assist in crime prevention and detection to create safer communities. Our products include Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, video surveillance cameras, audio recording systems, and real-time monitoring software.
How does the DECTIFY ANPR camera work?
The camera uses motion detection technology to detect when a vehicle moves past it. It captures an image of that vehicle, can alert local law enforcement if the vehicle registration number matches entries in authorised databases, and transmits and stores the images in the cloud, fully encrypted, for a default period of 30 days.
Is the DECTIFY ANPR only for law enforcement?
The DECTIFY ANPR camera can be used by law enforcement as well as private residential societies, commercial establishments, or businesses. These devices can be shared with law enforcement so that regardless of the owner/purchaser, law enforcement is able to access the data to help prevent and solve crime, subject to proper legal process.
How do we know the DECTIFY device was working during a certain date and time?
DECTIFY's cloud software maintains a suite of automated health checks that run regularly. DECTIFY develops this software in-house. These health checks validate essential functionality and alert DECTIFY when a device is operating abnormally.
How do we know timestamps on the device are accurate?
The DECTIFY device syncs its clock with network time protocol (NTP) servers and the mobile network. If the device goes offline, it resyncs the clock once it is back online. All timestamps are recorded in Indian Standard Time (IST).
How does DECTIFY's ANPR software work?
DECTIFY builds proprietary machine learning technology which is capable of identifying types of vehicles, vehicle registration numbers, and various other objective vehicle characteristics. DECTIFY maintains a high standard of quality control and validates every machine learning model with a large, diverse dataset of vehicles, ensuring that our accuracy meets industry standards.
What is DECTIFY's Retention Period? How is the Retention Period decided?
DECTIFY's default data retention period for data collected by automated number plate recognition systems is thirty (30) days, after which data is permanently deleted from the cloud. We believe thirty days provides strong protection for privacy while still enabling the provision of sufficient evidence in the majority of cases. There are also administrative benefits for our customers by retaining and storing less data.
DECTIFY will respect existing data retention laws and regulations applicable in India that differ from 30 days. If a customer wishes to impose a longer retention period that is not already required by applicable law, DECTIFY will offer extended retention for up to one year, subject to the customer obtaining appropriate approvals from governing authorities or bodies as required under applicable laws.
What constitutes appropriate approval for extended retention?
Appropriate approvals may include, but are not limited to, approvals from:
- State or local government authorities
- Residential Welfare Associations or Society Managing Committees (for residential deployments)
- Board of Directors or authorised management (for commercial deployments)
- Relevant regulatory authorities where applicable
