4. Third-Party Services

Our Website integrates the following third-party services that may process your data:

4.1 Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA v2 on our Contact and Careers forms to protect against automated spam submissions. When you interact with the reCAPTCHA widget, Google may collect information about your browser, IP address, and usage patterns to determine whether you are a human. This data is processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

4.2 WhatsApp

Our Website includes a floating WhatsApp button that links to our business number (+91 9311435804). Clicking this button opens WhatsApp on your device. We do not collect any data through this link itself; any conversation initiated via WhatsApp is governed by WhatsApp's Privacy Policy.

4.3 Social Media Links

Our Website contains links to our profiles on LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, and Upwork. Clicking these links takes you to third-party platforms and their own privacy policies apply. We do not share your personal data with these platforms directly.

4.4 Font Awesome (CDN)

We load icon fonts from the Font Awesome CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com). Your browser may send a standard HTTP request to Cloudflare's servers when loading these assets. Please refer to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.

5. Local Storage & Browser Preferences

We use your browser's localStorage (not cookies) to store two items locally on your device:

These values are never transmitted to our servers (except the admin token, which is sent as a Bearer header to authorise admin API calls). They are not accessible to third parties.

You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear browsing data in most browsers).

6. Data Retention

Information submitted through our Contact form is retained only as long as necessary to respond to and close your enquiry. Job application data is retained for up to 6 months from the date of submission, after which it is deleted unless you have been engaged in an active hiring process.

We do not retain any personal data beyond what is required for the stated purposes.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
• Server-side validation and bot-protection via Google reCAPTCHA
• Restricted access to admin systems protected by authentication tokens

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
