This Privacy Policy explains how Vivek Sanghi Advocate (“we,” “us,” “the Website,” “www.viveksanghi.com”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information relating to visitors of this Website. This Website is operated from Hyderabad, Telangana, India, and is governed primarily by the laws of India. Because visitors to this Website have included, and may continue to include, individuals located in the European Union and European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Cuba, this Policy also sets out additional disclosures relevant to those jurisdictions below. This Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors with regard to information shared with, or collected by, this Website. It does not apply to information collected offline or through any channel other than this Website.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
Information you provide directly. If you contact us by email, telephone, or through any form on this Website, we may receive your name, email address, telephone number, the contents of your message, and any attachments or other information you choose to provide.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this Website automatically logs standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, date and time stamps, and general click patterns. This is collected through standard hosting and security infrastructure and is not linked to your identity beyond what is inherent in the data itself. It is used to maintain site security, diagnose technical issues, and understand aggregate usage patterns.
Information collected via cookies and similar technologies. This Website uses cookies. A cookie banner (via CookieYes) is presented to visitors to manage consent for non-essential cookies in accordance with applicable law.
2. Third-Party Plugins and Services
This Website is built on WordPress and relies on a number of third-party plugins to operate securely and efficiently. As a matter of honest disclosure: we do not control, and cannot fully verify, the precise data-handling or cookie practices of these third parties beyond what each publishes in its own privacy documentation. The categories of plugins currently in use, and their general function, are:
- Security and spam prevention (e.g., Wordfence, Akismet) — these may process visitor IP addresses and, for Akismet, comment content, to detect malicious activity or spam. Akismet is operated by Automattic Inc.
- Site performance, backup, and infrastructure (e.g., Jetpack, Jetpack Boost, WP-Optimize) — these may set technical cookies necessary for caching and performance, and may transmit limited technical data to their respective providers (Jetpack is operated by Automattic Inc.).
- Cookie consent management (CookieYes) — manages and records your cookie preferences.
- Social sharing (Ultimately Social / USM Premium) — if you use any social share buttons on this Website, the corresponding third-party social network (e.g., LinkedIn, X) may set its own cookies and process data in accordance with its own privacy policy, independent of this Website.
- Search engine and webmaster tools (Bing Webmaster Tools) — used solely to verify site ownership with the relevant search engine; not visitor-facing.
- SEO (Yoast SEO) — assists with technical search-engine optimisation and does not itself collect visitor personal data.
We do not currently run any advertising network, ad-serving script, or ad-tracking cookie (such as Google DoubleClick or AdSense) on this Website. If this changes, this Policy will be updated accordingly, and you will be notified through the revised publication date above.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Automattic (Jetpack, Akismet), Wordfence, CookieYes, and any social network whose share button you interact with, for details of their own data practices, as those fall outside our control.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to: operate, secure, and maintain this Website; respond to enquiries directed to us; understand how visitors use the Website in order to improve it; and comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not use your information for behavioural advertising, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with the third-party service providers named in Section 2 solely to the extent necessary for them to perform their function, with professional advisers where necessary, or where required by law, regulation, court order, or a lawful request from a governmental or regulatory authority.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations (including limitation periods under Indian law), and to resolve disputes.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures, consistent with the standards expected under Indian law, to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights — India
This Website is operated by a Data Fiduciary within the meaning of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”). Subject to the Act and its Rules as they come into force, you have the right to: obtain a summary of the personal data we hold about you and the processing activities relating to it; request correction, completion, or updating of your personal data; request erasure of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations; withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal; and file a complaint with us in the first instance, and thereafter, where applicable, with the Data Protection Board of India. We do not knowingly process the personal data of any individual under the age of 18 without verifiable consent of their parent or lawful guardian, as required under the DPDP Act.
8. Your Rights — European Economic Area and United Kingdom
If you are located in the EEA or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, the necessity of processing for pursuing a professional enquiry you have initiated with us, or our legitimate interest in operating and securing this Website, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the UK GDPR together with the Data Protection Act, 2018. You have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request rectification or erasure; request restriction of, or object to, processing; request portability of data you have provided to us; and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority, or, if you are in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner’s Office. Where your personal data is transferred from the EEA or UK to us in India, such transfer is made on the basis of your explicit consent and the necessity of the transfer for the performance of a professional enquiry or service you have requested, given that India does not currently hold an adequacy decision from the European Commission or the UK Government.
9. Your Rights — United States
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights under applicable state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”) and equivalent laws in other states. These rights may include the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, the right to request deletion of that information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and there is accordingly no need to submit a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” request.
10. Your Rights — Canada
If you are located in Canada, we process your personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”). You have the right to access personal information we hold about you, to challenge its accuracy and completeness, and to have it amended as appropriate. You may direct any complaint regarding our handling of your personal information to us in the first instance, and thereafter to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
11. Your Rights — Cuba
If you are located in Cuba, the processing of your personal data is subject to Ley No. 149/2022 (Ley de Protección de Datos Personales). You have the right to be informed of how your personal data is processed, and to request its rectification, correction, modification, or updating, in accordance with that Law. Where processing depends on your consent under Cuban law, such consent may be express or, where the Law permits, tacit, and you may withdraw it at any time.
12. Children’s Privacy
This Website does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Consistent with the highest applicable standard among the jurisdictions listed above, we treat any individual under the age of 18 as a child for this purpose and require verifiable parental or guardian consent before knowingly processing their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without such consent, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
