Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information Indian Gadget Finder collects, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

Indian Gadget Finder (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website at indiangadgetfinder.com. We are the data fiduciary/controller responsible for the personal information processed through this site. For any privacy-related question or request, contact us at hello@indiangadgetfinder.com.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the site and serve you well. Specifically:

  • Information you provide directly — your name and email address when you post a comment or subscribe to our newsletter, and the contents of any message you send us by email or through a form.
  • Information collected automatically — standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through server logs, cookies, and analytics tools.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device to remember your preferences (such as light/dark mode), keep the site secure, and measure aggregate traffic. See the “Cookies” section below.

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as financial account details, government IDs, health, or biometric data), and we ask that you do not send such information to us.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Publish and moderate the comments you submit, and prevent spam and abuse.
  • Send our newsletter — only if you have subscribed, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
  • Respond to your enquiries, corrections, and requests.
  • Analyse aggregate site traffic so we can improve our content, performance, and user experience.
  • Maintain the security, integrity, and proper functioning of the website.
  • Comply with our legal obligations.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing your personal data, we rely on the following:

  • Consent — for newsletter subscriptions, non-essential cookies, and analytics. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests — for site security, spam prevention, and understanding aggregate usage to improve our service, balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose data to comply with the law.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for a few purposes:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function and stay secure (for example, security tokens). These cannot be switched off.
  • Preference cookies — remember choices such as your light/dark theme.
  • Analytics cookies — help us measure traffic and understand how the site is used, in aggregate.
  • Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These are only used where you consent through our cookie banner.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can manage your consent at any time through our cookie consent banner. Disabling some cookies may affect certain site features. We honour “Do Not Track” and global privacy control signals where technically feasible.

Advertising

Indian Gadget Finder uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display advertisements on this website. We may also work with other third-party advertising vendors from time to time.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and/or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices, or www.youronlinechoices.eu if you are in the EU. For more information on how Google uses data, see Google’s “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”.

You can manage or withdraw your advertising consent at any time through our cookie consent banner. Where required by law, third-party advertising cookies are only set after you have given consent. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers. Our content is also supported through affiliate partnerships — see the “Affiliate Links” note below and our Disclaimer.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. When you follow an affiliate link, the destination retailer (for example, Amazon or Flipkart) may set its own cookies and process your data under its own privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for the data practices of those third-party retailers. Full details are in our Disclaimer.

Analytics

We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate usage patterns — which articles are popular, how visitors navigate the site, and where we can improve. Any such data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally. Where an analytics provider acts as a processor on our behalf, we configure it to respect your consent choices, including IP-handling and personalisation settings, and analytics cookies are only set where you consent through our cookie banner.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate the site (for example, hosting, email delivery, and analytics), bound by confidentiality and permitted to use the data only to provide their service to us.
  • Legal compliance — when required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
  • Protection of rights — to protect the safety, rights, or property of our readers, the public, or Indian Gadget Finder.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Comment data is retained while the comment remains published; newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe; and server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostics before being deleted or anonymised. For full details, see our Data Retention Policy where available.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls, hardened server configuration, and regular security maintenance. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal data: the right to access it, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@indiangadgetfinder.com. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by law. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

Indian Users — Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023

If you are in India, you have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including the right to access a summary of your personal data and our processing, the right to correction and erasure, the right to grievance redressal, and the right to nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity. To make a request or raise a grievance, contact our grievance point at hello@indiangadgetfinder.com. We process your personal data for the lawful purposes described in this policy and on the basis of your consent where required.

EU/UK Users — GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the rights described above under the GDPR/UK GDPR. Where we transfer data outside your region, we rely on appropriate safeguards. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, though we’d appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.

California Users — CCPA/CPRA

We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law. If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise them, contact us at hello@indiangadgetfinder.com.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 without verifiable parental or guardian consent, in line with the DPDPA. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Third-Party Links

Our reviews and articles may link to retailers, manufacturers, and other external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. Material changes will be indicated by an updated “last updated” date at the top of the page, and where appropriate we will provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
