Where required by law (for example, in the EU/EEA and UK), we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies, and you may withdraw that consent at any time through our cookie settings. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the Website.
3.2 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, the Website does not currently respond to DNT signals. We will revisit this position if a standard is adopted.

- To respond to your inquiries, contact form submissions, and service requests;

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis under the GDPR:

- Performance of a Contract: Where processing is necessary to respond to your request or to provide services you have engaged us for.
- Legitimate Interests: To operate, secure, and improve our Website and business, where such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
6. Marketing Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise agree to receive marketing communications, we will use your name and email address to send you relevant content, service updates, and promotional material. Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You may opt out at any time by clicking that link or by emailing us at [email protected]. Opting out of marketing does not affect service-related communications, such as replies to your inquiries.
7. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With trusted third parties that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, customer relationship management, and the analytics and advertising providers listed in Section 3 (Google, Microsoft, Meta). These providers are bound to use your data only for the purposes we specify.
- Legal Requirements: Where required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request, or where necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.

- With Your Consent: We may share your information for other purposes with your explicit consent.
8. International Data Transfers
We are based in India, and the Website is accessible worldwide. Your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in India and in other countries where our service providers operate (including the United States, where Google, Microsoft, and Meta process data). These countries may have data protection laws different from those in your country.
Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or other regions with data transfer restrictions, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or the data transfer frameworks our providers participate in (for example, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. As a general guide:
- Contact form and inquiry data: up to 3 years from your last interaction with us, so we can respond to follow-up questions and maintain business records;
- Marketing subscription data: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent;
- Analytics and Usage Data: retained per the settings of each analytics tool (for example, Google Analytics data is typically retained for up to 14 months);
- Records needed for legal, tax, or accounting compliance: as required by applicable law.
When personal information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it so it can no longer be associated with you.
10. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include HTTPS encryption on the Website, access controls, and vendor due diligence. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a personal data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the GDPR.
