1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information necessary to administer the statewide competitions and training programs: Full Name, Date of Birth, Age, District, Educational Institution / College, Mobile Number, and Email Address. For competition tracks, we collect Game Character IDs (BGMI UID, Free Fire UID, Lichess handle) or portfolio links. For participants under 18 years of age, guardian contact information and explicit consent are collected.
2. Purpose of Data Processing
Participant data is used exclusively to verify eligibility, assign district brackets, communicate tournament match fixtures and schedules, authenticate 48-hour email activations, issue government-recognised certificates, and disburse prize awards directly to verified winners. Anonymised, aggregated statistics are provided to the Department of Youth Services for state skilling impact evaluation. We never sell or share participant data with commercial third-party marketing entities.
3. Minor Protection & Guardian Consent
In strict compliance with Section 9 of the DPDP Act 2023, participants under 18 years of age must provide verifiable parental or legal guardian consent prior to registration. Guardians possess the statutory right to review, modify, or revoke consent at any time.
