Privacy Policy – DigitalBrief
Last updated: April 30, 2026
Welcome to DigitalBrief (digitalbrief.in).
I take your privacy seriously — not because I have to, but because that’s how I’d want my own data treated.
Here’s a simple, no‑legalese explanation of what information I collect, why I collect it, and how I protect it.
1. What information do I collect?
I collect only what’s necessary to make this website work and improve your experience.
a. Information you give me directly:
- Name & email address – when you subscribe to my newsletter, leave a comment, or contact me via forms.
- Messages you send – through contact forms or email.
b. Information collected automatically:
- Log data – like your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time and date.
- Cookies – small text files stored on your device to remember preferences and improve site performance.
2. How do I use your information?
I use your data only for:
- Sending you updates, new blog posts, or free resources if you’ve subscribed.
- Responding to your messages or comments.
- Understanding what content you like so I can write more of what matters to you.
- Keeping the website secure and preventing spam/abuse.
I never sell your personal data to anyone. Not now. Not ever.
3. Cookies & tracking
DigitalBrief uses cookies to:
- Remember your preferences (like dark mode or language).
- Understand traffic patterns (e.g., which posts are most popular).
- Serve relevant content and ads via third-party services like Google AdSense or affiliate networks.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work perfectly.
4. Third-party services I use
To keep DigitalBrief running and free for you, I may use:
- Google Analytics – to see how people use the site (anonymous data only).
- Google AdSense – to show ads (they may use cookies for personalized ads).
- Email marketing platforms – like ConvertKit or Mailchimp, to manage your subscription.
- Affiliate links – like Amazon or other programs. If you click and buy something, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Each of these services has its own privacy policy, which I encourage you to review.
5. Where is your data stored?
Your data is stored on secure servers managed by my hosting provider and any third-party tools mentioned above. I only work with services that follow standard security practices.
6. How long do I keep your data?
- Comments & messages – kept until they’re no longer needed (e.g., to handle follow‑ups).
- Newsletter subscribers – kept until you unsubscribe.
- Analytics data – anonymized and retained as needed for traffic analysis.
You can request deletion of your data anytime (see section 8).
7. Children’s privacy
DigitalBrief is not intended for children under 13 years of age. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided data, contact me and I’ll delete it promptly.
8. Your rights (for Indian & international visitors)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access – see what data I hold about you.
- Correct – fix inaccurate information.
- Delete – request complete removal of your personal data.
- Opt out – of cookies or email newsletters.
To exercise any of these rights, just email me at:
📧 hello@digitalbrief.in (or use the contact form on the site).
I’ll respond within 30 days as required under Indian IT law and GDPR.
9. Third-party links
Sometimes I link to other websites, tools, or products. This privacy policy applies only to DigitalBrief. If you click an external link, you’re subject to that site’s own privacy policy.
10. Changes to this policy
I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally (for example, if I add new features or services). The “Last updated” date at the top will always show when changes were made.
Significant changes will be announced on the website or via email if you’re subscribed.
