Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 05 Jan 2017

This is a personal website. I take your privacy seriously and try to collect as little information about you as possible. Here’s a plain-English breakdown of what happens when you visit rushikeshsonawane.com.

1. What Information I Collect

Information you give me directly

If you reach out through the contact form or subscribe to my newsletter, I collect your name and email address. That’s it. I don’t ask for anything else.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, mine collects some basic technical data when you visit, things like your IP address, the browser you’re using, which pages you looked at, and how long you spent on them. This is standard web analytics. I use it to understand what content is useful, not to track individuals.

Cookies

The website may use cookies to make things work smoothly, like remembering your preferences or keeping a session active. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer, though some parts of the site may not work as well.

2. How I Use Your Information

The short answer: to run the website and communicate with you when you’ve asked me to.

• If you subscribed to the newsletter, I use your email to send updates about business, marketing, and finance. You can unsubscribe any time.
• If you sent me a message, I will use your contact details to respond.
• Analytics data helps me understand which content is useful and how the site is performing.
• I don’t sell your data. I don’t share it with advertisers.

3. Third-Party Services

I use a few third-party tools to run the site, things like hosting, analytics, and email delivery. These services may process some of your data on my behalf. They have their own privacy policies, and I only work with services that take data protection seriously.

I don’t share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. I take reasonable steps to protect it, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. I can’t guarantee absolute security, but I do my best.

I don’t store your data longer than necessary. If you want your information removed, just email me and I’ll take care of it.

5. Links to Other Websites

Some blog posts may link to external websites. Once you leave rushikeshsonawane.com, I have no control over what happens. I’d encourage you to check the privacy policy of any site you visit.

6. Your Rights

You can ask me at any time to:

• See what data I hold about you
• Correct anything that’s inaccurate
• Delete your data entirely
• Unsubscribe from any communications

Just send an email to contact@rushikeshsonawane.com and I’ll sort it out.

7. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If I find out that I’ve inadvertently done so, I’ll delete it promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

If I update this policy, I’ll note the change on the website. Continued use of the site after any changes means you’re okay with the updated policy.
