Effective 4 October 2026. This document describes what personal data alanjoshy.in collects, how it is processed and stored, and the rights available to you.
1. Data controller
Alan Joshy, Kerala, India. Contact for all privacy matters: info@alanjoshy.in.
2. Personal data collected
Personal data is collected only when you submit the contact form on this site. The fields are: name, email address, the enquiry category you select, and the free-text message. Nothing else is requested, and no account or registration is required.
As with any web service, the hosting provider processes standard request metadata (IP address, user agent, request time and URL) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. This site does not run its own analytics, advertising or tracking scripts.
3. Purpose and basis of processing
Form data is processed to read and respond to your enquiry and to keep a record of the resulting correspondence. The basis is the consent you give by submitting the form, which you may withdraw at any time (see section 5).
4. Retention
Enquiries are kept for as long as needed to handle them and for reasonable record-keeping afterwards, unless a longer period is required by law. You can request earlier deletion at any time.
5. Your rights
To the extent provided by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may request access to the personal data held about you, correction or erasure of it, withdraw your consent, and raise a grievance. Send the request to the address in section 1. Requests are acknowledged and handled within a reasonable time.
6. Security
The site is served over HTTPS with HSTS and a restrictive Content Security Policy, and form traffic stays on this domain. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
7. Children
This site is not directed at children, and personal data of children is not knowingly collected.
8. External links
Links to WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Maps and Google Drive lead to services operated by third parties. Their own privacy terms apply once you leave this site.
