Headx Monitor collects only the data needed to deliver the monitoring service to your organisation. We do not sell personal data. We store Cloud-plan data in Mumbai. On-Premise data stays on your servers. You can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data at any time by writing to privacy@headx.in.
1. Who we are
Headx Monitor (hereafter "Headx," "we," "us," "our") is an employee monitoring and data loss prevention platform headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. We provide our services to corporate customers (Data Fiduciaries under the DPDP Act 2023) who in turn use the platform to monitor their own workforces. For most personal data we handle, the corporate customer is the Data Fiduciary and Headx is the Data Processor.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy describes how we handle personal data in two distinct contexts:
- Marketing and sales contacts: visitors to headx.in, demo requesters, prospects in our sales funnel — Headx is the Data Fiduciary.
- Customer accounts and employee monitoring data: data captured by our agents and dashboard on behalf of our corporate customers — Headx is the Data Processor; the corporate customer is the Data Fiduciary.
If you are an employee whose company has deployed Headx, your employer's privacy policy and consent process are the primary governing documents. We honour our customers' instructions in handling your data.
3. Data we collect
From website visitors and prospects
- Name, email, phone, company name, role (when you submit a contact or demo form)
- IP address, browser type, pages visited, referrer URL
- Cookies and similar identifiers (see Section 11)
From customer administrators
- Name, email, role, tenant identifier
- Authentication metadata (session tokens, IP of login, MFA factors)
- Configuration choices, policies created, dashboards used
From monitored employees (where Headx is Data Processor)
- Application usage, websites visited, periodic screenshots, USB events, file-access events, clipboard contents, print metadata, agent telemetry
- Identifiers issued by the employer (employee code, department, manager assignment)
- Authentication metadata for the agent
We do not knowingly collect: contents of personal email accounts, banking applications, healthcare applications, password fields, biometric facial recognition data, or location data outside of work hours.
4. Why we collect it
- To deliver the contracted monitoring service to our corporate customers
- To operate, secure, and improve the Headx platform
- To respond to support requests and sales inquiries
- To send service-related notifications (security advisories, planned maintenance, billing)
- To comply with applicable laws and regulator obligations
- To send occasional product-update communications to customer administrators (opt-out available)
5. Legal basis
For data we collect from our corporate customers and prospects, our legal basis is consent or the performance of a contract. For employee monitoring data, the corporate customer (Data Fiduciary) is responsible for obtaining consent from the monitored employees under the Indian IT Act 2000, IT Rules 2011, and DPDP Act 2023. We process such data only on the customer's documented instructions.
6. Who we share data with
We do not sell personal data. We share limited data with the following categories of recipients:
| Recipient | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services | Cloud hosting, storage, compute | Mumbai, India (ap-south-1) |
| Cloudflare | CDN, DDoS protection, WAF | Global edge; no inspection of payloads |
| Cashfree Payments | Subscription billing for Indian customers | India |
| Razorpay | Alternative subscription billing | India |
| Postmark / Resend | Transactional email delivery | US (only operational metadata, no customer activity data) |
| Sentry | Application error monitoring | US (stack traces only, no customer payloads) |
We may also disclose personal data when required by law, court order, or government request from a competent authority — and only the minimum data needed to comply.
7. How long we keep it
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Marketing leads (uncontacted) | 24 months from last interaction |
| Customer account data | Duration of subscription + 90 days |
| Monitoring data (Cloud plan, default) | 30 days, customer-configurable up to indefinite |

On-Premise deployments — customer controls all retention. We do not hold a copy of your data.
8. How we protect it
See our Security & Compliance page for the full technical and organisational measures. Headlines: TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, AWS Mumbai data residency for Cloud, named-admin access with audit logging, code-signed agent, written incident response programme.

10. International transfers
For Cloud-plan customers, all monitoring data stays within India (AWS Mumbai). Operational metadata (error logs, transactional email metadata) may transit through US-hosted services. We do not transfer monitoring data outside India for Cloud customers.
For customers outside India (UAE, Singapore, Malaysia via partners), we host data in the customer's chosen region. We sign appropriate data-transfer agreements where personal data crosses borders.
