Privacy Policy

Last updated · Effective

In short

Neural Tech Daily is built to collect as little personal data as possible. We do not set our own cookies, do not run user accounts, and do not sell or share personal data with third parties for their independent use. Site analytics are anonymous and aggregate.

If you have a privacy question or want to exercise a right under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act), email grievance@neuraltechdaily.com.

Who we are

Neural Tech Daily is the consumer brand operated by Digital Nuclei, a sole proprietorship registered in Goa, India. The site is published from the domain neuraltechdaily.com and any other domain redirecting to it.

For the purposes of the DPDP Act 2023, Digital Nuclei is the Data Fiduciary for any personal data we collect about you.

What this policy covers

This policy explains:

  • What data we collect when you use this site.
  • Why we collect it.
  • Who, if anyone, we share it with.
  • How long we keep it.
  • What rights you have under the DPDP Act.
  • How to reach us with a privacy concern.

What data we collect

Analytics

We use a privacy-preserving analytics service for traffic measurement. The service:

  • Does not set cookies on your browser.
  • Does not store your IP address (it is hashed and discarded in real time).
  • Does not identify you personally.
  • Reports aggregate, anonymous information: number of visitors, most-read articles, referring source, country, device type.

When you arrive at the site from a search engine, your browser sends a Referer header containing the URL you came from. The analytics service may use this for aggregate referrer reporting; the URL is not personally identifying.

You do not have to do anything to opt out, because there is nothing identifying you to begin with. If you’d still like to block analytics, an ad-blocker or DNS-based blocker (NextDNS, Pi-hole) will do it.

Affiliate clicks

When you click an affiliate link on our site, the destination retailer (for example, Amazon India) may set its own cookies on your browser to track that you arrived from us. Those cookies are controlled by the retailer, not us. Their privacy policy governs them.

We may also see a click count in our affiliate dashboard (without identifying you) so we can confirm that a link works.

Our on-site search runs entirely in your browser. No search query you type is sent to our servers, to a third party, or stored anywhere. The search index is downloaded once when you load the search page.

Forms, accounts, comments

We have no forms, no comments, no accounts, no newsletter sign-up at this stage. The only way to contact us is by email.

If you email us, we receive what you write. We treat it like any email: kept while we need it, deleted when we don’t, not shared with anyone outside the publication.

Cookies

We do not set our own cookies. Third parties on pages you click through to (Amazon, Flipkart, AI-tool signup pages) may set their own cookies. See the Cookie Policy for full detail.

Why we collect what we collect (lawful basis)

Under the DPDP Act, we rely on:

  • Legitimate use for analytics that does not identify you, to understand which articles help readers and to improve the site.
  • Your consent, where required, for any future data collection (a future newsletter, for example, would require explicit opt-in consent).

We do not currently rely on consent for any data collection because we do not collect personally identifiable data.

Personal data, where collected, is processed only for:

  • The specific lawful purpose for which it was provided (responding to your email, fulfilling a DPDP rights request).
  • Compliance with applicable Indian law.
  • Protection of our legal rights in the event of a dispute.

We do not process personal data for any purpose unrelated to the above.

Sharing your data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for their independent use.

A few minimal exceptions, all standard:

  • Hosting provider — handles delivery of pages to your browser. They see your IP address as part of normal web traffic and apply their own privacy practices.
  • Analytics provider — processes aggregate, anonymous traffic data only.
  • Legal requests — if we are legally required to share information (court order, regulatory request) we will comply and, where allowed, notify you.

How long we keep data

  • Aggregate analytics data: kept indefinitely (no personal data involved).
  • Email correspondence: kept for 12 months from resolution of the matter, then deleted, unless longer retention is required for legal or regulatory reasons.
  • Records related to legal compliance (grievance logs, take-down records): retained for the period required by applicable Indian law.

Your rights under the DPDP Act

The DPDP Act gives you, as a Data Principal, the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct any data that is wrong.
  • Erase your data, subject to any legal retention obligations.
  • Withdraw consent for any processing that relies on consent.
  • Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf if you become unable to.
  • Complain to the Data Protection Board of India if you believe we have handled your data incorrectly.

To exercise any of these rights, email grievance@neuraltechdaily.com. We respond within the timelines set by the DPDP Rules in force at the time of your request, and in any case within seven working days for an initial acknowledgement under IT Rules 2021 Rule 3(2).

To verify a rights request, we may ask you to confirm the email address you used to contact us or provide another reasonable identifier so we do not act on a request from an impersonator.

Rights for readers outside India

Neural Tech Daily is published from India but is read worldwide. If you are reading from outside India and your jurisdiction grants you data-protection rights independent of the DPDP Act 2023, those rights apply to your personal data on a best-effort basis to the extent we hold any.

  • European Union / European Economic Area (GDPR): you have the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection under Articles 15 to 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.
  • United Kingdom (UK GDPR + Data Protection Act 2018): equivalent rights apply, and you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
  • California (CCPA / CPRA): you have the rights to know, to delete, to correct, to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and to non-discrimination. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.
  • Canada (PIPEDA): you have rights of access and correction in respect of personal information about you that we hold.
  • Brazil (LGPD): you have the rights enumerated in Article 18 of the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados.
  • Japan (APPI), Australia (Privacy Act 1988), Singapore (PDPA), and other jurisdictions: equivalent local rights apply where granted by statute.

To exercise any of these rights, email grievance@neuraltechdaily.com. Identify the jurisdiction whose rights you are invoking and we will respond within the timeline that jurisdiction sets, or within 30 days where no specific timeline is fixed.

Children’s data

We do not knowingly process the personal data of anyone under 18 without verifiable parental consent as required under §9 of the DPDP Act 2023. We do not market to children. If you are a parent and believe we have collected data about your child, email grievance@neuraltechdaily.com and we will delete it.

International data transfer

Your interactions with this site involve data being processed outside India by our service providers (hosting, analytics, content delivery). By using the site, you consent to this cross-border transfer. Each provider maintains its own data protection commitments.

Data security

We use safe protocols for communication and data transfer (HTTPS), monitor systems for vulnerabilities and attacks, and apply suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the data we hold. Despite our efforts, no system is fully secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of information.

Data-breach notification

If we become aware of a personal-data breach affecting you, we will notify the Data Protection Board of India and notify affected Data Principals as required by the DPDP Act and any notification rules in force at the time.

Significant Data Fiduciary status

A Data Protection Officer is not appointed because we operate below the threshold for a Significant Data Fiduciary as defined by the DPDP Act and Rules. If our scale or processing changes, we will appoint one and update this section.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we update the last_updated date at the top and post a short note in the change log below. For material changes, a banner appears on the site for at least 14 days.

Grievance officer (IT Rules 2021 Rule 3(2))

For any grievance, DPDP rights request, or data-protection complaint:

The grievance function is limited to legal-back-office handling under IT Rules 2021 Rule 3(2) and Data Fiduciary contact under the DPDP Act 2023. It is not involved in the editorial pipeline.
