Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data Ashish Kumar Agnihotri (“we”, “I”) collects through ashishagnihotri.com, why, and the choices you have. It is written to be consistent with the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

What we collect

Information you provide. When you submit the contact form or request a resource, we collect the details you enter — typically your name, email address, company, and message. We use these solely to respond to you and, where you requested a download, to send it.

Analytics. With your consent, we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages readers find useful. No analytics or non-essential cookies are set before you choose “Accept” in the consent banner.

Technical logs. Our hosting provider may process standard server logs (such as IP address and user agent) to deliver and secure the site. This is necessary for the legitimate operation of the website.

How we use it

To reply to enquiries, to deliver requested resources, to maintain and secure the site, and — only with consent — to understand and improve how the site is used. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use your data for automated decision-making.

Legal bases

We rely on your consent for analytics and marketing communications; on the necessity of responding to your request (steps prior to entering an engagement) for contact submissions; and on legitimate interests for securing and operating the website.

Sharing and processors

We share data only with service providers that help operate the site — for example, our hosting platform, an email or form-handling service, and an analytics provider — each acting on our instructions. We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing.

Retention

We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards for our records, then delete it. Analytics data is retained in aggregate only.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, withdraw consent at any time, and object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, email ashishrajul@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Cookies

The site uses only what is necessary to function until you consent to analytics. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the site’s stored preference in your browser, which will prompt the consent banner again.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS, and we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
