Legal basis
Where the GDPR applies (visitors in the EU/UK), I rely on:
- Legitimate interests — site security, analytics, and responding to enquiries
- Consent — non-essential cookies, advertising cookies, and newsletter subscriptions
- Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is legally required
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, personal data is processed for the lawful purposes described above, with consent obtained where required.
Cookies and tracking
This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device.
Essential cookies keep the site functioning (session handling, security, your cookie preferences). These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies help me understand how visitors use the site, in aggregate.
Advertising cookies are set by third-party ad networks to serve and measure ads.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where a consent banner is shown, through your consent choices. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.
Third-party services
These third parties may process data when you visit:
- Google Analytics — traffic analysis. See Google’s privacy policy. You can opt out via Google’s browser add-on.
- Google AdSense / advertising partners — ad serving and measurement. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. You can manage ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
- Cloudflare — content delivery, performance, and security.
- Web hosting provider — server logs and site delivery.
- Affiliate networks — where you click an affiliate link, the retailer or network may set a cookie to attribute the referral. See their own privacy policies.
- Gravatar — if you comment, your anonymised email hash may be sent to Gravatar to display an avatar. See Automattic’s privacy policy.
I do not control these third parties’ data practices. Their processing is governed by their own policies.
Advertising
This site displays third-party advertising. Ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads relevant to your interests and to measure ad performance.
I do not share your name or email address with advertisers. Ad targeting is handled by the networks using their own data.
Data sharing
I do not sell your personal data.
Data may be shared only with:
- Service providers listed above, to operate the site
- Law enforcement or regulators, where legally required
- A successor entity, if the site is ever transferred
Data retention
- Comments — retained indefinitely unless you request deletion, so conversation threads stay intact
- Email correspondence — retained for up to 2 years
- Analytics data — retained per the provider’s default settings
- Server logs — typically retained for up to 90 days
International transfers
The site is operated from India and uses service providers who may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data I hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data (“right to erasure”)
- Object to or restrict processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Data portability
- Complain to a supervisory authority (in India, the Data Protection Board; in the EU/UK, your national authority)
To exercise any of these, email contact@galaxys360.com. I aim to respond within 30 days. I may need to verify your identity first.
Children
This site is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact me and I will delete it.
Security
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS encryption and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no industry standard for responding to it, and this site does not respond to DNT signals at present.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The current version is always available here with its “last updated” date. Material changes will be noted on the site.
