Micrylis Biotech is an innovation and biotechnology-focused organization that works with students, researchers, and aspiring innovators to identify real-world problems and develop practical solutions.

Our programs may involve:

• Problem identification and validation
• Research and innovation
• Biotechnology and life-science projects

Participants may be provided with problem statements, project ideas, research directions, technical resources, mentorship, and development frameworks to help them understand how an idea can progress from a problem → research → solution → POC → prototype/MVP → potential business or startup.

Where a participant successfully develops a promising Proof of Concept, Micrylis Biotech may, at its discretion, provide further guidance regarding grants, incubation opportunities, commercialization, partnerships, or startup development. Such support is not guaranteed and may depend on project quality, feasibility, ownership, funding availability, evaluation outcomes, and applicable terms.

Depending on your interaction with Micrylis Biotech, we may collect the following information:

Micrylis Biotech may use collected information for legitimate business, educational, research, operational, and program-related purposes, including:

1. Processing registrations and applications.
2. Managing participation in projects and programs.
3. Communicating project instructions, updates, schedules, and important information.
4. Providing mentorship, technical guidance, and project support.
5. Evaluating project progress and performance.
6. Maintaining project and participant records.
7. Coordinating workshops, meetings, presentations, and research activities.
8. Supporting POC, prototype, MVP, and business-development activities.
9. Providing information about relevant grants, incubation opportunities, competitions, or partnerships.
10. Improving our programs, processes, curriculum, and project-development frameworks.
11. Preventing fraud, misuse, unauthorized access, or other security issues.
12. Complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
13. Communicating important administrative or service-related information.

We will not use personal information for purposes materially unrelated to the purpose for which it was collected without an appropriate legal basis or, where required, your consent.

Micrylis Biotech understands that project ideas and research outputs may have significant academic, technical, commercial, or intellectual-property value.

Accordingly, participants should avoid sharing confidential information that they are not authorized to disclose.

Participants may receive access to confidential information relating to:

• Micrylis Biotech
• Internal processes
• Research projects
• Business strategies
• Product concepts
• Technical approaches
• Partner information
• Other participants' projects
• Unpublished research
• Potential inventions
• Commercial opportunities

Such information should not be disclosed, copied, distributed, published, or commercially exploited without authorization where it is reasonably understood to be confidential.

Participants are also responsible for protecting confidential information belonging to their educational institutions, research organizations, employers, collaborators, or other third parties.

Where a project requires stronger confidentiality protection, Micrylis Biotech may use a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), Project Agreement, IP Agreement, or Collaboration Agreement.

Micrylis Biotech may provide guidance to participants whose projects demonstrate potential for further development. Such guidance may include:

• Grant-readiness guidance
• Funding opportunities
• Incubation-readiness
• Startup-development guidance
• Business-model development
• Pitch-deck preparation
• POC-to-MVP guidance
• Industry connections
• Mentorship
• Commercialization strategy

However, participation in a Micrylis Biotech program or successful completion of a project does not guarantee:

• Grant funding
• Incubation
• Investment
• Patent approval
• Commercial success
• Employment
• Startup formation
• Revenue
• Partnership
• Market adoption

Any grant, incubation, investment, partnership, or commercial opportunity will be subject to separate eligibility requirements, evaluation, institutional policies, third-party decisions, and applicable agreements.

Micrylis Biotech does not sell your personal information.

We may share information when reasonably necessary with:

• Authorized Micrylis Biotech team members
• Mentors and project supervisors
• Technology/service providers
• Communication and collaboration platforms
• Academic or institutional partners
• Grant or incubation organizations
• Industry or research partners
• Professional advisors
• Government or regulatory authorities where legally required

We aim to limit information sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Where third-party service providers process information on our behalf, we expect them to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

For students and other participants, information may be used to:

• Verify registration
• Manage project participation
• Track project progress
• Provide mentorship
• Maintain attendance or participation records
• Issue certificates or participation records where applicable
• Evaluate project performance
• Communicate opportunities
• Maintain institutional records

Participants should provide accurate and updated information.

If a participant is a minor or otherwise requires parental/guardian authorization under applicable law or program requirements, appropriate authorization may be required before participation.

Our website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to:

• Improve website functionality
• Understand website usage
• Maintain security
• Remember preferences
• Improve user experience

Micrylis Biotech takes reasonable measures to protect personal and project-related information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, loss, or destruction.

Security measures may include:

• Access controls
• Password protection
• Restricted internal access
• Secure communication systems
• Data-management procedures
• Appropriate technical safeguards
• Confidentiality obligations for authorized personnel

However, no electronic system or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore avoid submitting highly sensitive information through unsecured communication channels unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process.

We may retain personal and project-related information for as long as reasonably necessary for:

• Program administration
• Project documentation
• Academic or participation records
• Grant/incubation support
• Business and operational requirements
• Legal and regulatory obligations
• Security and dispute resolution
• Legitimate organizational purposes

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, contractual, and operational requirements.

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of processing, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including rights relating to:

• Accessing information about your personal data
• Requesting correction of inaccurate information
• Requesting deletion where legally applicable
• Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent
• Raising concerns about the processing of your personal data
• Making a complaint regarding privacy practices

India's Digital Personal Data Protection framework provides a statutory framework for processing digital personal data and recognizes individuals' rights in relation to their personal data.

Requests may be submitted using the contact information provided below.

Where we process personal information based on your consent, you may request withdrawal of that consent, subject to applicable law and legitimate requirements.

Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain services, manage your participation, or continue specific activities.

Withdrawal will not necessarily affect processing that we are permitted or required to conduct under another lawful basis.

Our programs may use or link to third-party services such as communication platforms, video-conferencing tools, cloud-storage services, payment platforms, educational tools, registration forms, or external websites.

Micrylis Biotech is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party platforms.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies and terms of those platforms before providing information.

With appropriate permission or where otherwise legally permitted, Micrylis Biotech may showcase selected projects, achievements, prototypes, research outcomes, or participant success stories for educational, research, promotional, or organizational purposes.

Where a project contains confidential information, patent-sensitive information, trade secrets, or other protected information, participants should notify Micrylis Biotech before public disclosure.

Participants should not assume that a project will remain confidential if they voluntarily publish or publicly disclose the underlying information themselves.

Our programs may involve students. We take additional care when dealing with individuals who may be children or minors.

Where applicable law or program requirements require parental or guardian consent, we will seek appropriate authorization before collecting or processing information.

If you believe that a minor has provided personal information without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review the matter.

Micrylis Biotech may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

• Our services
• Our programs
• Technology
• Business practices
• Applicable laws
• Regulatory requirements

The updated version will be published through our website or relevant communication channel with a revised "Last Updated" date.

If you have questions, concerns, requests, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of your personal information, please contact:

We will make reasonable efforts to review and respond to privacy-related requests in accordance with applicable law and our internal procedures.

This Privacy Policy explains how Micrylis Biotech handles personal information and certain project-related information. It does not replace any separate:

• Project Agreement
• Terms & Conditions
• NDA
• Intellectual Property Agreement
• Internship Agreement
• Collaboration Agreement
• Grant Agreement
• Incubation Agreement
• Employment Agreement

Where a separate written agreement exists, that agreement may contain additional or specific provisions regarding confidentiality, intellectual property, ownership, commercialization, project deliverables, and participant responsibilities.
