This policy applies to data collected via econowit.com and related digital services (forms, newsletters, comments, interactive features, and analytics).

3. What personal data do we collect & why do we collect it

We collect and process the following categories of personal data for the purposes described:

a. Account & contact data — name, email address, phone number, organisation, and any details you provide in contact forms or subscriptions.
Purpose: To respond to inquiries, send newsletters, and provide services.
Legal basis: consent and/or performance of a contract.

b. Usage & technical data — IP addresses, device/browser identifiers, page views, referral URLs, session duration, clicks, and other analytics data collected automatically.
Purpose: To improve site functionality, security, traffic analysis, and personalise content.
Note: We disclose use of analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) and how they process data. Google Help

c. Cookies & tracking technologies — session cookies, persistent cookies, and similar technologies used for authentication, preferences, analytics and marketing. See section 6 (Cookies) for details.

d. Content & media — comments, profile information, and any files or images you upload. Uploaded media may contain embedded metadata (EXIF), which could include location data — do not upload sensitive location metadata if you do not wish it to be public.

e. Payment & transactional data — only if you purchase services/products via the site (card or payment processor details are handled by third-party payment processors; we do not typically store full payment credentials).

f. Other special categories — we do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health, religious beliefs) unless you explicitly provide it (e.g., for a wellness enquiry). If you do, we will request explicit consent and explain the purpose.

4. How we collect personal data

  • Directly from you: contact forms, newsletter signup, comments, account creation, and customer support.
  • Automatically: cookies and analytics when you visit our site.
  • From third parties: service providers (hosting, analytics, marketing platforms), where necessary and lawful.

5. Cookies, trackers & choices

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide core site functions, remember preferences, measure site performance, and support marketing. Typical cookie categories include:

  • Essential cookies — required for site operation (login, security).
  • Performance / Analytics cookies — collect anonymous usage statistics.
  • Functional cookies — remember your preferences.
  • Advertising / Marketing cookies — used to personalise ads and measure ad performance.

You can manage cookies using your browser settings and, where provided, our cookie preference tool. For transparency, we disclose the use of Google Analytics and similar services. Google Help

6. Third parties & data sharing

We share personal data only as necessary and with appropriate safeguards. Typical recipients include:

  • Service providers (website hosting, email service providers, analytics, CRM).
  • Payment processors (if purchases are enabled).
  • Legal & regulatory authorities, if required by law or to protect rights (e.g., lawful requests).
  • Acquirers/partners in the event of a corporate transaction (merger, sale, reorganisation).

Where third parties process data, we require contracts and technical safeguards to protect data and to limit use to the specified purpose.

7. International transfers

Data may be stored and processed in servers located in different countries. Where data is transferred outside your jurisdiction (e.g., outside the EU/EEA), we use appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses, adequate provider safeguards, or explicit consent) to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable law. For Indian users and processing in India, we follow the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 requirements. MeitY

8. Retention — how long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described here and to meet legal or regulatory obligations. Examples:

  • Contact form submissions: retained for 6–24 months (adjust as needed).
  • Analytics data: aggregated or anonymised after 12–24 months.
  • Account data: retained while the account remains active or as required by law (e.g., tax records).

Please contact us to request a specific retention schedule for your personal data.

9. Your rights (overview)

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights including:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure (right to be forgotten) — ask us to delete personal data (subject to legal exceptions).
  • Restriction/objection — restrict processing or object to certain processing (e.g., direct marketing).
  • Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Consent withdrawal — withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Right to opt-out of sale/sharing — for California residents under CCPA/CPRA, specific opt-out rights apply. California DOJ Attorney General California Privacy Protection Agency

If you are an EU (GDPR) data subject, we will respond to requests in accordance with Articles 12–23 of the GDPR (information obligations, access, rectification, erasure, etc.). See GDPR guidance for required disclosures. GDPR

To exercise any of these rights, contact econowit@gmail.com with a clear description of your request. We may ask to verify your identity before processing requests.

10. Children

Our site is not intended for children under 16 (or local age of consent where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected such data, contact us to request deletion.

11. Security measures

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data (encryption in transit via HTTPS, regular security updates, access controls, backups). No system is 100% secure — we will notify affected users and regulators of a personal data breach when required by applicable law.

12. Data breach procedures

We maintain an incident response plan. If a breach affecting your personal data occurs and legal thresholds for notification are met, we will notify affected individuals and regulatory authorities within applicable timeframes.

13. Embedded content & third-party features

Embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, social feeds) behaves as if the user visited the third-party site. These providers may collect data about you — please review their privacy policies before interacting with embedded content.

14. Analytics & advertising platforms

We use analytics and marketing tools (for example, Google Analytics, advertising platforms) to measure and improve site performance and to provide interest-based advertising. We disclose these tools and rely on lawful bases such as consent or legitimate interest where applicable. Please see our cookie banner or preference centre for granular opt-out options. Google Help

15. Legal bases for processing (where applicable)

Where required by law (e.g., GDPR/DPDP), we process personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent (you have given clear consent);
  • Contractual necessity (to provide services you requested);
  • Legal obligation (to comply with laws);
  • Legitimate interests (for site security, analytics, marketing — balanced against your rights).

For Indian users, processing will follow the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 requirements. MeitY
