At NextGen Forensic, we work with detail, discipline, and integrity — the same principles that anchor forensic science itself. We apply that same rigor to how we handle your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect when you visit our website or enroll in our programs, how we use it, and the choices you have.
This policy is governed by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its associated Rules, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and applicable rules made thereunder, as they apply to us as a Data Fiduciary based in India.
By using our website or enrolling in a program, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.
NextGen Forensic Private Limited ("NextGen Forensic", "we", "us", "our") is a registered private limited company headquartered at:
235, Binnamangala, 2nd Floor, 13th Cross Road, 2nd Stage, Indira Nagar, Bengaluru – 560038, India
We provide live, cohort-based forensic science training programs to individuals in India.
We collect only what we need to run our programs and communicate with you:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity & contact details | Name, email address, phone number |
| Payment information | Transaction details processed via our payment gateway (we do not store your card, UPI, or bank credentials ourselves) |
| Program participation data | Attendance records, cohort enrollment details |
| Live session recordings | Recordings of live classes, which may include your name, voice, and video if your camera/mic are active |
| Communications | Messages exchanged with us over email, phone, or WhatsApp for support and program-related updates |
We do not currently collect government-issued identity documents, and we do not use third-party analytics or advertising tools (such as Google Analytics or ad pixels) on our website.
We use your information only for clearly defined purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.
We rely on a small number of service providers strictly to deliver our programs:
These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy standards. We do not share your data with any other third party for marketing or unrelated commercial purposes.
NextGen Forensic's programs are open to both adults and minors (individuals under 18 years of age).
At the point of enrollment, every registrant is required to confirm one of the following before submitting the enrollment form:
Where the second option is selected, we additionally collect the name and contact details (email or phone number) of the consenting parent/guardian, and this consent is logged with a timestamp against the minor's enrollment record.
We do not knowingly use children's personal data for tracking, behavioural monitoring, or targeted advertising, and we do not process a child's data beyond what is necessary to deliver the program.
A note on where we are today: We are a young organization, and our current verification is a good-faith declaration model rather than a fully automated identity-verification system. As we scale, we intend to strengthen this process in line with evolving regulatory guidance. If you have concerns about a minor's registration, please contact us at contact@nextgenforensic.com and we will address it directly.
Our forensic training material may include a mix of simulated scenarios and real-world case references, which can include crime scene imagery or case-related information relating to individuals who are not our users.
Where real case material is used, we take reasonable steps to anonymize or redact personally identifiable details of third parties wherever possible, and such material is used strictly for educational purposes. If you believe any training content improperly identifies or exposes a real individual, please contact us so we can review and address it.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to:
When your data is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymize it.
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you (or a parent/guardian on behalf of a minor) have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, write to us at contact@nextgenforensic.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and in line with applicable timelines under law.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our website may use limited, essential cookies required for basic functionality (such as keeping you logged in or remembering form progress). We do not currently use cookies for tracking, profiling, or advertising purposes.
