Privacy Notice

How I handle the personal information you give me through this website, chiefly the enquiry form. I keep it deliberately short and honest.

Who I am

This site is operated by HEMANTHVA VENTURES LTD (“I”, “me”, “my”), a company registered in Scotland (company number SC744785), registered office Clyde Offices, 2nd Floor, 48 West George Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G2 1BP. I am the data controller for the personal information described here. You can reach me about anything in this notice at hello@hemanthvishnu.com.

What I collect

• When you contact me: your name, work email, and optionally your company and phone number, plus whatever you write in your message.
• Automatically, for security and delivery: basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type and timestamps, recorded in standard server logs by my hosting provider.

I do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Why I use it, and my lawful basis

I use your information solely to read your enquiry, reply, and discuss the standards and services you ask about. My lawful basis is legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)), namely responding to a message you chose to send me. I do not send marketing.

Who else handles it

I keep the list of third parties short and use reputable providers, each under their own data-protection terms:

• Hostinger— website hosting (server logs, form delivery).
• Resend— sends the enquiry email to me.
• Microsoft 365— the inbox where I read and store enquiries.
• Trusted associates and partners. As the practice grows I work with a small number of associates and local partners (currently in India, and expected to include the United Kingdom, United States and other countries). Where one of them is involved in responding to you, they may see your enquiry, under confidentiality and data-protection terms.

I never sell your data or share it for advertising.

Where your information is handled (international transfers)

I am currently based in India and travel, and some associates or partners are outside the UK (including the United States and elsewhere). Your information may therefore be accessed and processed outside the UK. Where that happens, I rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement or Standard Contractual Clauses, and, for certified US recipients, the UK-US data bridge. You can ask me for details of the safeguard used.

How long I keep it

If we don’t end up working together, I delete your enquiry within 12 months. If we do, I keep the relevant records for the duration of our work and for up to 6 years afterwards to meet legal, tax and contractual obligations, then delete them.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask me to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, or provide it in a portable form. To exercise any of these, just email hello@hemanthvishnu.com and I’ll respond within one month.

If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF (ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113), though I’d appreciate the chance to put things right first.

Changes

If I change this notice, I’ll update the date at the top. Material changes will be made clear on this page.
