Privacy
We hold the privacy of our visitors, readers, and event partners in the highest regard. This policy outlines our principled approach to data minimization, encrypted transaction security, and responsible data stewardship.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the information strictly necessary to fulfill your requests and provide a dependable user experience:
- Order Information: When you purchase a direct paperback copy of The Unseen Path, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and physical shipping address to dispatch your order and provide shipment tracking notifications.
- Inquiries & Speaking Requests: When you reach out via our contact forms, we collect your name, email, phone number, organization, and the details of your invitation or inquiry.
- Reader Testimonials & Feedback: When you submit a reflection, we collect your display name, optional location, and message. Approved testimonials are published publicly; private feedback is kept strictly confidential.
2. Payment & Financial Security
All financial transactions are conducted through certified, PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateways (including Razorpay). Your sensitive payment card numbers, CVVs, and net banking credentials never touch our servers and are never stored in our databases.
3. How We Use Your Data
Your information is used exclusively for operational fulfillment: processing book deliveries, issuing tracking notifications, responding to speaking invitations, and moderating reader reviews. We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal data with third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances.
4. Third-Party Integrations
To ensure security and accessibility, our platform interfaces with select trusted services: Google reCAPTCHA for automated spam protection, postal courier partners for delivery fulfillment, and official retail partners (Amazon, Flipkart, Spotify) when you choose external storefronts.
5. Your Rights & Contact
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your submitted personal records at any time. For any data inquiries or rights requests, please reach out directly through our contact page.
