Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly: When you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or pitch a story, you may share your name, email address, and any details included in your message.
• Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and how you interact with our content. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and content;
• Send you our newsletter and respond to your enquiries and pitches;
• Understand how readers use our site so we can make it better;
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse;
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand usage patterns, and improve your experience. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some parts of our website may not function properly without them. We may also use third-party analytics services that set their own cookies.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services — such as email/newsletter providers, hosting platforms, and website analytics — to operate DeepTech India. These providers process data on our behalf and only have access to the information needed to perform their tasks. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

5. How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. If you unsubscribe from our newsletter, we will stop using your email for that purpose and remove it from our active mailing list.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of your personal information;
• Withdraw consent or object to certain processing;
• Unsubscribe from our communications at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@thedeeptech.in.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

9. External Links

Our content may link to external websites that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
