Privacy policy

Data we collect

The site requires no account and sets no advertising cookies. The only personal data processed is what the purchase requires: email address and billing information, collected and processed by Stripe at payment, plus whatever you volunteer through our email sign-up forms (see below). If you write to us, your email is used solely to reply.

Travel tips by email and free excerpt

Some pages offer to send you our travel tips and offers by email, in exchange notably for a free excerpt from our guides. Signing up requires your email address (first name optional) and an explicit consent checkbox, never pre-ticked. We store your address, the date, the exact consent wording displayed and the page of origin, in a database we operate on a server hosted in the European Union. Your IP address is never stored in clear form.

This data is used exclusively to send you our tips and offers; it is neither sold nor shared. You can unsubscribe at any time by writing to admin@tech-bharat.com (or via the unsubscribe link in our emails): your address is then deleted from the database.

Payment

Payments are operated by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., PCI DSS certified. No banking data passes through or is stored on our servers. Stripe's policy: stripe.com/privacy.

Purposes and retention

Purchase data is used to deliver the product, manage the refund guarantee and meet our accounting obligations (records kept for the statutory periods). It is neither sold nor shared for advertising purposes.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection over your data. To exercise them, write to admin@tech-bharat.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr).

Audience measurement

The site may use aggregated, anonymous audience measurement, without cross-site cookies or individual profiling.
