At AnandShinde.com, your privacy is respected and your personal information is handled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Irish data-protection law.
This Privacy Policy explains how information collected through this website is used and protected.
1. Who We Are
AnandShinde.com is the professional website of Anand Shinde, based in Dublin, Ireland.
For privacy-related enquiries, please contact:
Email: contact@anandshinde.com
Location: Dublin, Ireland
2. Information We Collect
When you use the website or contact us, we may collect information such as:
- your name;
- email address;
- telephone number;
- organisation or professional details;
- information included in your enquiry; and
- basic technical information relating to your use of the website.
Where you voluntarily provide documents such as a CV, manuscript or other material in connection with a requested service, that information may also be processed for that purpose.
3. How We Use Your Information
Personal information may be used to:
- respond to enquiries;
- provide information about requested services;
- arrange consultations or professional engagements;
- communicate with clients;
- provide career counselling, cybersecurity, training or publishing-related services;
- operate and protect the website; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to those for which it was collected without an appropriate legal basis.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Depending on the circumstances, personal information is processed because:
- it is necessary to respond to your request or provide a service;
- it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as operating and securing the website;
- we are required to process it by law; or
- you have provided consent where consent is required.
These are recognised lawful bases under the GDPR.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
5. Cookies
The website may use cookies necessary for its proper operation.
Where analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies are used, they will only be activated where the required consent has been obtained.
Under Irish ePrivacy rules, consent is generally required for cookies that are not strictly necessary, including analytics cookies.
Users should be able to manage or withdraw their cookie preferences at any time.
6. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell personal information.
Information may be shared only where necessary with trusted service providers involved in operating the website or delivering requested services, such as hosting, email, IT or professional service providers.
Information may also be disclosed where required by Irish or EU law.
Where a service provider processes personal information outside the European Economic Area, appropriate data-transfer safeguards will be used where required by law.
7. How Long We Keep Information
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or where retention is required by law.
Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely disposed of.
8. Your GDPR Rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- access your personal information;
- correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- request data portability; and
- withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
These rights are provided under the GDPR.
Requests can be sent to:
contact@anandshinde.com
9. Data Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
However, no website or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Third-Party Links
AnandShinde.com may contain links to external websites, book retailers, social-media platforms and other third-party services.
Those websites operate under their own privacy policies, and AnandShinde.com is not responsible for their privacy practices.
11. Complaints
If you have concerns about how your personal information is handled, please contact us first at contact@anandshinde.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC) of Ireland, the supervisory authority responsible for data protection in Ireland.
