Privacy Policy

The rest of this policy applies to everyone. This section adds the rights and disclosures required where you live. If a local law gives you more protection than this policy, that law applies.

India: Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

TechFlecks is a Data Fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.

• Consent: where we rely on consent (analytics, advertising, newsletter), it is free, specific, informed and given by a clear action. You can withdraw it as easily as you gave it, through Cookie Settings or the unsubscribe link, or by emailing us. Withdrawal does not affect processing done before it.
• Your rights: a summary of your personal data and of our processing; the identities of others we have shared it with; correction, completion, updating and erasure; grievance redressal; and the right to nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become incapacitated.
• Grievance Officer: Shani Sinojiya, privacy@techflecks.com. We acknowledge grievances within 7 days and resolve them within 30 days.
• Data Protection Board of India: if you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Board after using our grievance process.
• Language: on request, we will provide this notice in English or in any language listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India.
• Breaches: we will inform the Board and affected users of a personal data breach as required by the Rules.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland

These rules apply under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP).

• Controller: TechFlecks (see "Who We Are"). We have not appointed an EU or UK representative under Article 27, because our processing is occasional and low risk. Contact us directly at privacy@techflecks.com.
• Legal bases: listed for each purpose in the table in section 3.
• Your rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (including an absolute right to object to direct marketing). You can also withdraw consent at any time, and you have the right not to be subject to solely automated decisions. We make no such decisions.
• Cookies: non-essential cookies are set only with your prior opt-in consent, and rejecting them is as easy as accepting them.
• Complaints: please contact us first. UK residents: we acknowledge complaints within 30 days. You may also complain to your local supervisory authority, the UK Information Commissioner, or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

United States: California and other state privacy laws

• We do not sell personal information for money. Letting Google AdSense set advertising cookies may count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, or as "targeted advertising". This happens only if you turn on Advertising in Cookie Settings, and you can switch it off at any time. That switch is our "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" control.
• Global Privacy Control: we treat a GPC signal from your browser as a valid opt-out of sale, sharing and targeted advertising. When we detect it, Cookie Settings shows "Opt-out signal honored".
• Sensitive personal information: we do not collect it.
• Your rights: to know or access, delete, correct and port your data; to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising and profiling; and to be free from discrimination for using these rights.
• How to make a request: email privacy@techflecks.com or use the contact form. We verify your request by matching the email address we hold. An authorized agent may act for you with your signed permission. We respond within 45 days.
• Appeals: if we deny your request, reply to our decision to appeal. If the appeal is denied, you may contact your state Attorney General.
