Vaiyuh Platforms Pvt. Ltd.

Last Updated: 11 October 2026

Vaiyuh is a discovery platform for early-stage startups and investors, launching soon. This Privacy Policy explains how Vaiyuh Platforms Pvt. Ltd. ("Vaiyuh", "we", "us"), D-06 SF, South City 2, Gurugram, Haryana 122001, collects, uses and protects personal data submitted through vaiyuh.com and our pre-launch waitlist, in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.

For the purposes of this policy, Vaiyuh is the "Data Fiduciary" and you are the "Data Principal." The Vaiyuh app will have its own Privacy Policy, shown to you before you create an account.

1.Information We Collect

When you join the waitlist, we collect: whether you are a founder or an investor; whether you are actively raising or investing; the stage(s) you raise at or invest in; your raise amount or typical cheque size; your city or region (founders only); your full name; and your email address.

We also collect limited technical data (such as IP address and browser/device information) needed to run the website and block spam and fake sign-ups.

We do not collect ID documents, pitch decks or payment details on this website.

2.How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: keep your place on the waitlist; send you a small number of updates before launch and tell you when the app is live; plan early access based on your stage and readiness; and prevent spam and misuse. We do not sell your personal data.

3.Legal Basis & Consent

We process your personal data on the basis of the consent you give when you join the waitlist and, where applicable, for legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act (such as fraud prevention and complying with law). You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email or writing to business@vaiyuh.com. We will then remove you from the waitlist and stop emailing you. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out.

4.Who Can Access Your Information

We do not sell or share your personal data with anyone else, including for advertising. Your data is accessed only by:

  • Service providers that host our website, send our emails and protect the site from spam, acting on our behalf under confidentiality obligations;
  • Authorities, where required by law, regulation or valid legal process;
  • A successor business, in the event of a merger or acquisition, with notice to you.

5.Public Visibility

Your waitlist details are never made public and are not shown to any other user, startup or investor.

6.If We Contacted You First

We may email founders and investors using business contact details from public sources or business databases, only to invite them to Vaiyuh. To stop hearing from us, reply "remove" or write to business@vaiyuh.com, and we will delete your details.

7.Children's Data

The waitlist is intended only for people aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected such data, we will delete it.

8.Data Security, Storage & Breach Notification

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data; however, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. Our service providers may store or process data in or outside India, in line with the DPDP Act and Rules. If a personal data breach affects you, we will inform you without delay and notify the Data Protection Board of India as required by law.

9.Data Retention

We keep your waitlist details only until the Vaiyuh app is live. Once we have told you about the launch, we delete them from our records. If you later create an account on the app, your details will be handled under the app's own Privacy Policy.

10.Your Rights

Under the DPDP Act, 2023, you may:

  • Request access to your personal data and a summary of how it is processed;
  • Request correction or updating of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Request erasure of your personal data;
  • Withdraw your consent at any time;
  • Nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity;
  • Seek grievance redressal (Section 11) and, if unsatisfied, complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

To exercise any right, contact us at business@vaiyuh.com.

11.Grievance Officer & Contact

For any privacy questions, requests or complaints, contact our Grievance Officer:

We will acknowledge your request within 24 hours and respond within the timelines required under applicable law.
