WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

Applicable to: www.efclimited.in

Effective from: June 2026 | Version 2.0

1. Introduction

EFC (I) Limited, a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and governed by the Companies Act, 2013, with its registered office at 6^th Floor, VB Capitol Building, Range Hill Road, Opp. Hotel Symphony, Bhoslenagar, Shivajinagar, Pune-411007, Maharashtra (“EFC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operates the corporate website accessible at www.efclimited.in (the “Website”).

This Website Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how EFC collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data obtained through the Website. This Policy applies exclusively to the Website and to the data collected through it. It does not govern data collected through physical visits to our centres, contractual or commercial engagements, or any other offline or non-website channel — each of which may be governed by a separate privacy or data processing notice.

By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Website.

2. Scope and Application

This Policy applies to all visitors and users of the Website, regardless of the device or browser used to access it. The Website is a static corporate information website that provides details about EFC’s services, business lines, investor relations disclosures, and career opportunities. With the exception of the Careers section (described in Clause 4 below) and the newsletter subscription (described in Clause 5 below), the Website does not invite, solicit, or process personal data from visitors.

For clarity, the following sections of the Website do not collect any personal data:

Home/ About Us — informational content only
Business (Managed Office Solutions, Design & Build Turnkey Solutions, Furniture Manufacturing) — informational content only
Investor Relations — publicly accessible regulatory and corporate governance disclosures; no personal data is collected from visitors
Contact Us — the Contact page displays our address, contact number, and email address for you to reach us directly; any contact you initiate by phone or email is governed by how we handle correspondence generally, not by a web form data collection process.

3. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When you visit the Website, our web server and any analytics tools we employ may automatically collect certain technical information that does not by itself identify you as an individual. This includes:

Internet Protocol (IP) address of your device
Browser type, version, and language settings
Operating system and device type
Referring URL (the page from which you arrived at the Website)
Pages visited on the Website, time and duration of visit, and click-stream data
Session identifiers and cookie identifiers (see Clause 6 for cookie details)

This technical data is collected for the sole purpose of maintaining the security, stability, and performance of the Website, and for generating aggregated, anonymised usage statistics. It is not used to identify individual visitors and is not combined with any other data source for the purpose of profiling.

4. Personal Data Collected — Careers Section

The Careers section of the Website (accessible at www.efclimited.in/career/) is the section through which personal data is actively collected from Website visitors. If you apply for a position listed on the Careers section, you will be asked to submit the following information via the online application form:

4.1 Data Collected

Full name
Email address
Phone number
Current designation/ position
Curriculum vitae/ résumé (uploaded in the applicable file format)
Cover message (optional, as entered by the applicant)

4.2 Purpose of Collection

We collect this information solely for the following purposes:

Evaluating your candidacy for the specific role to which you have applied;
Contacting you regarding your application, scheduling interviews, and conducting the selection process;
Maintaining a record of applications received for the applicable role;
Complying with applicable employment and labour laws in India to the extent relevant at the pre-employment stage.

4.3 Legal Basis for Processing

Processing of your application data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in identifying and recruiting suitable candidates, and, where applicable, in taking steps at your request prior to entering into an employment contract. We do not process application data on the basis of consent — submitting an application constitutes a voluntary, purposive act by you.

4.4 reCAPTCHA

The Careers application form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated and fraudulent submissions. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information from your device (such as device and application data and the results of integrity checks) to help Google determine whether you are a human or a bot. This processing is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and not by this Policy. By submitting the application form, you acknowledge that reCAPTCHA processing will occur.

4.5 Retention of Recruitment Data

Personal data submitted through the Careers section will be retained for a period of five (05) years from the date of submission, or until the relevant recruitment process is concluded, whichever is later. If you are selected and join EFC, your data will be transferred to our internal HR records and governed by our employee data privacy notice. If your application is unsuccessful, your data will be securely deleted at the end of the applicable retention period, unless you request its earlier deletion.

5. Newsletter Subscription

The Website footer contains a newsletter subscription field where you may voluntarily provide your email address to receive updates and news from EFC. Subscription is entirely optional and based on your consent. We will use your email address only to send you the newsletter communications you signed up for. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by writing to us at the contact details in Clause 10.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Website is built on WordPress and uses Elementor as its page builder. Accordingly, it employs cookies and similar tracking technologies in the ordinary course of website operation. We use the following categories of cookies:

6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They include session management cookies set by WordPress and security cookies set by our hosting provider. They cannot be disabled without materially affecting the availability of the Website.

6.2 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors interact with the Website — for example, which pages are most visited and how long visitors spend on the site. Analytics data does not identify individual visitors. Where such tools are in use, the relevant third-party’s privacy policy (e.g., Google’s Privacy Policy) also applies to data processed by that tool.

6.3 Social Media and Third-Party Embeds

The Website contains links and icons to EFC’s social media profiles (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube). Clicking on these links will take you to third-party platforms governed by their own privacy policies. The Website also embeds a Google Map on the Contact page. Google may set cookies or collect data when you interact with the embedded map. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for details.

6.4 Managing Cookies

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the Website’s functionality. For detailed guidance on managing cookies, please refer to your browser’s help documentation.

7. Disclosure of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Personal data collected through the Website (i.e., data collected via the Careers section and the newsletter subscription) may be disclosed only in the following limited circumstances:

Internal HR and recruitment teams of EFC (I) Limited for the purpose of processing your job application
IT service providers, cloud hosting providers, and email service providers who process data on our behalf under binding data processing agreements
Courts, regulators, or law enforcement agencies where required by law, court order, or regulatory direction
Any successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring of EFC, subject to the successor being bound by equivalent data protection obligations

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data collected through the Website against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or misuse. The Website is served over HTTPS (TLS encryption). Access to recruitment data is restricted to authorised HR and recruitment personnel only.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a material risk to your rights, we will take prompt remedial steps and notify affected individuals and the relevant regulatory authority in accordance with applicable law.
