Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how IndianContext (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, read our articles, subscribe to our newsletter, comment, or otherwise interact with our content.

1) Who we are

Data Controller: IndianContext. For any questions or requests about this Policy or your data, write to [email protected].

2) Information we collect

• Information you provide: name, email address, comments, messages, and information submitted via forms (e.g., newsletter sign-up).
• Usage data: pages viewed, referring/exit pages, on-site actions, device/browser type, approximate location (from IP), and timestamps.
• Cookies & local storage: used for essential site functions, analytics, basic personalization, and remembering preferences.

3) How we use information

• Publish and improve our articles and site features.
• Send newsletters or updates you opt into (you can unsubscribe).
• Respond to messages, comments, or support requests.
• Monitor performance, prevent abuse, and ensure security.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

4) Legal bases for processing

Where relevant (e.g., EU/UK GDPR), we rely on one or more of the following bases: consent (newsletter/cookies), legitimate interests (site security, analytics, improving content), contract (when you request services), and legal obligations.

For India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), processing is based on your consent and our legitimate uses to operate and secure this service.

5) Cookies, analytics & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site and understand aggregate engagement. You can manage cookies in your browser. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.

• Essential: required for basic operations and security.
• Analytics: to measure traffic and improve content. Data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
• Personalization: to remember simple preferences (e.g., theme).

6) Newsletter & communications

If you subscribe, we’ll send content updates or announcements. Each email includes an unsubscribe link. We may use an email service provider to deliver messages; your email address is used only for this purpose.

7) Comments & user content

If comments are enabled, we may collect the name, email and comment text you submit. Your IP address and browser user agent may be logged for spam and abuse prevention. Comments you post are public.

8) Sharing & service providers

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with trusted vendors (e.g., hosting, email, analytics) strictly to operate our site and only under confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information where required by law.

9) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, unless a longer period is required by law or for legitimate business needs (e.g., security, fraud prevention).

10) International transfers

Our servers or providers may be located outside your country. By using the site, you consent to the transfer, processing and storage of information in those jurisdictions subject to appropriate safeguards.

11) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, restriction/objection to processing, and data portability. To exercise any right, email [email protected].

India (DPDPA): rights include access, correction, erasure and grievance redressal. EU/UK (GDPR): rights include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. California (CCPA/CPRA): the right to know/access, delete, and opt-out of “sale”/“sharing” of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

12) Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13) Children’s privacy

Our site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

14) Embedded content & external links

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, posts) or links to other sites. Embedded content and external websites are governed by their own policies; we are not responsible for their practices.

15) Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy periodically. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
