Privacy Policy / Notice — Paid National AI Challenge

This Privacy Notice applies when you register for, pay for, participate in or receive results from the paid OutloopAI National AI Challenge operated by MSI Consulting Group (operating the OutloopAI brand).

Because this journey involves payment and competition/integrity processing, it contains additional data-use provisions beyond the free assessment notice.

Account and registration data: name, email, mobile number, account identifiers, eligibility information and other details required to administer the competition.

• Competition data: answers, submissions, challenge responses, timestamps, attempt status, scores, ranking-related data and verification records.
• Payment transaction information: transaction/reference details, amount, currency, status, refunds and related records. Full card, bank or other payment credentials should normally be handled by the authorised payment provider and not stored by OutloopAI unless specifically configured and legally permitted.
• Technical and integrity data: session/device identifiers, browser information, timestamps, connection logs, relevant interaction events and other signals needed to administer the competition fairly and securely.

Finalist-verification information, where applicable, including explanations, demonstrations, identity/eligibility checks or other evidence expressly required by the published competition rules.

Support, dispute and appeal communications.

• To register and administer your participation in the National AI Challenge.
• To process payments, refunds and transaction support.
• To score competition responses and produce competition results.
• To enforce attempt limits, security, integrity and fair-participation rules.
• To conduct finalist verification, appeals or exceptional review where the competition rules permit or require it.
• To communicate competition notices, results and service updates.
• To improve the competition, investigate technical incidents and maintain audit records.

The platform may record technical and event information relevant to competition integrity, such as session timing, tab/window activity, copy/paste activity, authentication/device events or other configured signals. Such signals are indicators for review, not automatic proof of misconduct.

Where the competition rules permit a controlled administration mode, additional monitoring or verification may be used. The applicable rules shown before participation will govern what is collected.

Competition data may be processed to calculate scores, determine ranking or percentile where applicable and administer finalist verification. Public display of a participant name, rank, badge, winner status or other recognition should occur only where the competition terms/rules clearly provide for it and the publication is lawful.

Do not publish sensitive personal information or unnecessary profile data on a public leaderboard.

Payments may be processed by a third-party payment provider. The provider may process payment and transaction data under its own terms and privacy notice. OutloopAI should disclose the provider where required and retain only the transaction data necessary for accounting, refund, support, fraud prevention and legal obligations.

Other processors may provide hosting, authentication, communications, analytics, security, competition delivery and verification services. Access should be limited and governed by appropriate contractual and security controls.

Refund requests and payment records are processed in accordance with the published Refund & Cancellation Policy and applicable law. Transaction information may be retained for accounting, reconciliation, dispute resolution, fraud prevention and legal requirements.

Competition submissions, scores, verification records and integrity logs may require longer retention than ordinary marketing data because they support result auditability, disputes, appeals and fairness controls. Before launch, set documented retention periods or criteria for each category and delete or anonymise data when no longer required, subject to lawful retention obligations.

You may have rights to request access to, correction of or erasure of applicable personal information, withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis, and raise a grievance. Withdrawal or deletion may affect your ability to participate or retain a competition record where processing is necessary for contractual, legal, security or integrity purposes.

The competition may have age, geography and other eligibility rules. The published National AI Challenge Rules determine eligibility. Where additional safeguards or verifiable consent are required for minors, the competition should not collect or process the relevant data until those controls are implemented.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect competition and payment-related information. Where applicable law requires notification of a personal-data breach, the organisation will follow the prescribed notification and response process.

Before enabling paid participation, confirm the final payment provider, data processors, retention schedule, privacy notice, consent/acknowledgement flows, competition rules, refund policy and any ranking/publication practices against the live product configuration.

The paid competition should also receive specific legal review for its classification, entry/payment structure, rewards or prizes and any requirements that may arise under India’s current online-gaming and consumer-protection framework.

We may update this notice when the competition, technology, data processing or legal requirements change. Where required, users will receive updated notice or be asked to provide consent again.
