Privacy Notice

Last updated: April 2026

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Abhishek Bansiwal, a data privacy and protection consultant based in Dublin, Ireland. For the purposes of the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Irish Data Protection Acts 1988–2018, Abhishek Bansiwal is the data controller for personal data collected through this website.

2. What personal data we collect and why

2a. Contact form

When you submit the contact form on this website, we collect your name, email address, company information, and the message you provide. This data is processed to respond to your enquiry and assess whether our services are relevant to your situation. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing necessary for steps prior to entering a contract at your request).

Contact form submissions are processed via Formspree (formspree.io), a US-based service. Transfers to the US are covered by Formspree's participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We retain contact form data for up to 12 months, after which it is deleted.

2b. Website analytics

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and does not store any persistent identifiers on your device. It collects aggregated, anonymised data about page views, referring URLs, device types, and geographic regions (country level only). No individual visitor is tracked across sessions or across sites.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) — specifically, understanding how visitors engage with the website to improve its content and usability. This processing does not trigger ePrivacy consent obligations as no cookies or trackers are placed on your device.

3. Cookies

This website does not set any first-party cookies. Vercel Analytics operates without cookies. The only browser state used is session-level memory (not persisted to storage) for the dismissal of the announcement banner at the top of the page — this resets on every new visit and contains no personal data.

If you use the contact form, Formspree may set a session cookie solely to prevent spam submissions (CSRF protection). This cookie contains no personal data and expires when you close your browser.

4. Who we share your data with

We share personal data only with the following processors:

  • Vercel Inc. (website hosting and analytics) — data processed in the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework
  • Formspree Inc. (contact form processing) — data processed in the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

5. How long we keep your data

  • Contact form enquiries: 12 months from the date of submission
  • Analytics data: aggregated and anonymised — no individual records retained

6. Your rights under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Art. 15) — request a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16) — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17) — request deletion of your data
  • Right to restriction (Art. 18) — request restricted processing
  • Right to object (Art. 21) — object to processing based on legitimate interest
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20) — receive your data in a structured format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at abhishek.adv@yahoo.com. We will respond within one calendar month.

7. Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, or that we have failed to comply with your rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish supervisory authority:

Data Protection Commission (DPC)
21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28

8. Changes to this notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The date at the top of the page reflects when it was last revised. Material changes will be noted with a revised date.

9. Legal disclaimer

The services provided through this website are compliance consulting services. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. For legal advice specific to your situation, please consult a qualified solicitor.
