Privacy policy
This page explains what personal information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to meet the notice requirements of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Who is responsible
Vasudev Kale, sole proprietor, trading as Vitrivis.
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
hello@vitrivis.com
What is collected, and why
When you use the enquiry form
The form collects your name, your phone number, your message, and a record of which page you sent it from. This is used for one purpose only: to reply to your enquiry. It is sent by email to hello@vitrivis.com and stays in that mailbox. It is not added to any mailing list, not used for marketing, and not sold or shared with anyone.
Because the form does not ask for an email address, a reply will come by phone or WhatsApp.
When you allow analytics
If you press Accept on the cookie notice, Google Analytics is loaded. It records which pages you visited, roughly how long you stayed, the type of device and browser you used, and an approximate location worked out from your IP address. Your IP address is anonymised before it is stored. This is used to understand which writing people find useful.
If you press Decline, or ignore the notice, Google Analytics is never loaded and no analytics cookies are set. Everything else on the site works exactly the same.
Google is the processor for this data and may store it outside India. Google's own terms govern what they do with it.
Automatically, by the web server
The hosting provider keeps standard access logs — IP address, the time of the request, and the browser used. This happens for every website and is needed to keep the site running and secure. These logs are held by the hosting provider and are not used for anything else.
If you click the WhatsApp button
You are taken to WhatsApp, which is run by Meta. Anything you send there is governed by WhatsApp's own privacy terms, not this page.
Cookies
Only two things are ever stored in your browser by this site:
- A small record of whether you accepted or declined analytics, so you are not asked on every page. This is not shared with anyone.
- Google Analytics cookies — only if you accepted.
To change your mind, clear this site's data in your browser settings. The notice will appear again on your next visit.
How long it is kept
Enquiries are kept while there is an active or possible working relationship, and are deleted when there is no longer a reason to hold them. Analytics data is kept according to the retention period set in Google Analytics. Server logs are kept for the period set by the hosting provider.
Your rights
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you can:
- Ask what personal information is held about you
- Ask for it to be corrected, updated or completed
- Ask for it to be erased
- Withdraw consent you have given, at any time
- Nominate someone to exercise these rights if you die or become incapacitated
- Raise a grievance and have it answered
To do any of these, email hello@vitrivis.com. Requests are answered as quickly as possible.
