Who I am
This site, ddyadav.com, is run by Deen Dayal Yadav, known as D.D. Yadav, from India. For the personal information described here, I decide why and how it is used, which makes me the "data fiduciary" under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
What I collect
- When you use the contact form: your name, email address, any phone number you give and your message.
- When you join the newsletter: your email address, and your name if you give it.
- When you message me on WhatsApp, phone or email: whatever you choose to send.
- Technical details: your IP address and browser type are stored with form and newsletter submissions, to help me stop spam.
- Only if you press Accept on the cookie notice: information about how you use the site and how you reached it, collected by Google and Meta tools. See the cookie policy.
Why I use it, and my basis for doing so
I use your details to reply to you, to send the newsletter you asked for, to run any course or coaching you take part in, to keep the site secure, and to understand and improve the site and my adverts. Where the law requires your consent, I rely on it: you give it when you submit a form or tick or press Accept, and you can withdraw it at any time by emailing me. Withdrawing does not affect what was done before.
Who I share it with
I never sell your information. It is handled by the services that run this site and my communications, such as website hosting (Cloudflare), the server that receives form and newsletter submissions, email, WhatsApp, and, only if you accept cookies, Google and Meta. They may store or process data outside India. I may also share information where the law requires it.
How long I keep it
I keep your details only as long as needed for the reason you gave them, or as the law requires. Newsletter details are kept until you ask me to remove you.
How I protect it
Submissions are sent over an encrypted connection, and I use reasonable security measures to protect them. No method is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask me for a summary of the personal data I hold about you, ask me to correct or complete it, ask me to erase it, withdraw your consent, and nominate someone to exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to. Email [email protected] and I will reply within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India once it is in operation.
Children
This site is not aimed at children under 18, and I do not knowingly collect their personal information without a parent's or guardian's consent. If you think a child has sent me details, email me and I will delete them.
Links to other websites
When you click a link to another website, such as Amazon or WhatsApp, that site's own policy applies. I have no control over it.
Grievance officer
Grievance officer: D.D. Yadav. Email [email protected] or phone +91-9971778987. I will acknowledge a complaint within 48 hours and aim to resolve it within one month.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The version on this page is the current one.
