Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 August 2026. This policy explains what personal information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it.

1. Who we are

This website is operated on behalf of Vivaan Karulkar from 603, Western Edge I, Western Express Highway, Above Metro Cash & Carry, Borivali (East), Mumbai 400066, Maharashtra, India. For any privacy question, write to onlinenewsdanka@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

When you fill in the contact form we collect your name, email address, phone number if you choose to provide one, the subject you select, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting provider records standard server logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps — for security and troubleshooting. If website analytics are enabled, aggregated usage statistics may also be collected.

Information from embedded services

Some pages embed content from third parties: Google Maps on the contact page, YouTube thumbnails and links on the Proudcast page, and Google Fonts sitewide. These providers may receive your IP address and set their own cookies when that content loads. Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.

3. Why we use it

  • To read and reply to your enquiry.
  • To process and fulfil book orders, where placed directly with us.
  • To keep records of correspondence for business and accounting purposes.
  • To keep the website secure and working properly.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your details for marketing unless you have separately asked us to.

4. Legal basis

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent when you submit the contact form, on the performance of a contract when fulfilling an order, and on our legitimate interest in running and securing the site.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with:

  • service providers who host the website, deliver our email or ship orders, and only as far as needed to perform those services;
  • professional advisers such as accountants or lawyers, where necessary;
  • authorities, where we are legally required to do so.

6. How long we keep it

Contact-form messages are kept for up to twenty-four months from your last contact with us, unless a longer period is needed for a legal or accounting reason. Order records are kept for the period required by Indian tax and accounting law. Server logs are typically retained for a short period by the hosting provider.

7. Cookies

This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own. Cookies may be set by the embedded third-party services described in section 2. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; doing so may stop embedded maps or videos from working.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

  • confirm what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy;
  • correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
  • delete information we no longer have a reason to keep;
  • restrict or object to how we use it;
  • withdraw consent you have previously given.

Write to onlinenewsdanka@gmail.com and we will respond within one month. If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you may complain to your local data protection authority.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. External links

Pages on this site link to third-party websites, including Amazon.in and YouTube. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices; please read their policies before providing them with information.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted here with a new “last updated” date.

13. Contact

Email onlinenewsdanka@gmail.com, or write to 603, Western Edge I, Western Express Highway, Borivali (East), Mumbai 400066, Maharashtra, India. Office hours are Monday to Saturday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.

This policy is provided for general information and is not legal advice. Please have it reviewed by a qualified professional before publishing, so it reflects your actual data practices and complies with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and any other law that applies to you.
