This page explains how Digit Dost handles personal information on digitdost.com. We wrote it in plain language so you can see what we collect, why we collect it, and how to reach us with questions.
Who we are
Digit Dost is the controller for data processed on this website. You can contact our privacy team at privacy@digitdost.com. Our postal address is Digit Dost, B-103, 3rd Floor, Lajpat Nagar II, New Delhi 110024, India.
When this policy applies
The policy applies whenever you use digitdost.com. That includes reading articles, sending us an email, submitting a form, or sharing files or feedback with our team.
Information we collect
We receive the details you choose to share when you contact us, such as your name, your email address, and the message you send. Our systems also collect technical information so the site can load securely and work on your device. Typical examples include your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the pages you visit, the time you spend on those pages, and a general location inferred from your IP. Cookies may be stored on your device to keep the site running, remember basic settings, measure what readers find useful, and, if you agree, support advertising. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information in routine messages.
How we use your information
We use personal data to run and secure the website, to answer questions and requests, and to understand which guides and reviews help readers most. We also use limited data to support advertising and affiliate relationships where they appear. Editorial decisions are made by our team without input from advertisers or brands. We do not sell personal data.
Our legal bases
We rely on legitimate interests when we operate the site, prevent abuse, measure essential usage, and keep simple records that help us manage our work. We rely on consent for non-essential cookies, optional analytics, any newsletter we may offer, and other features that need your clear agreement. We rely on contract when you ask us for a specific service or response. We rely on legal obligation when the law requires record keeping or a response to a lawful request. You can withdraw consent at any time. Processing that took place before withdrawal remains lawful.
Cookies and your controls
Some cookies are essential because the site will not function without them. Others are optional. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block optional cookies the site will still load, but a few features or measurements may not work as intended.
Analytics, advertising, and affiliates
We may work with service providers that help us count readers, reduce fraud, and show ads. These services often use cookies or similar identifiers. In some cases they act under our instructions as processors. In other cases they act as independent controllers with their own responsibilities. Sponsored content is labeled so you can see it at a glance.
Sharing and international transfers
We share personal data with trusted providers who help us host the site, secure it, deliver email, measure audiences, or serve ads. They must protect your data and handle it only for the tasks we ask them to perform. We also share data when the law requires it or to protect our rights. Your data may be processed outside your home country, including in India and other places where our providers operate. When personal data is transferred from the EEA or the UK to a country without an adequacy decision, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or another lawful mechanism.
Information Storage time frame
Messages and request logs are retained while we handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward. Analytics is kept in aggregate or pseudonymous form where possible. Security logs are kept for a limited time so we can detect and investigate issues. Legal records are kept for as long as applicable law requires.
Security
We protect personal data with technical and organisational measures that match the risks involved. That includes secure hosting, access controls, and routine reviews of our setup. No system is perfect, but we work to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, and loss.
Your choices and your rights
You control whether to contact us and what to include in your message. You can also manage cookies in your browser. Depending on where you live and the circumstances, you may have rights to access your personal data, correct it, ask us to delete it, limit how we use it, object to certain uses based on our legitimate interests, or request a copy in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority. We encourage you to write to us first so we can try to resolve your concern quickly.
How to make a request
Email privacy@digitdost.com from the address you used with us. Tell us what you want to do and include enough detail for us to find your data. We may ask you to verify your identity before we act. We aim to reply within one month. If a request is complex or if many arrive at once, we may take longer and will let you know why.
Children’s privacy
Our site is for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared data with us, contact privacy@digitdost.com and we will take appropriate steps.
