Privacy Policy.

This website, pradeepsingh.com, is operated by Press Digital Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 12416113. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Press Digital Limited, the data controller for personal information handled through this website.

For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, use our contact form and select “Other enquiry”. Please make clear that your message concerns privacy.

The information we receive depends on how you use the website.

• Enquiries: your name, email address, selected enquiry topic, message and any information you choose to include in our correspondence.
• Newsletter subscriptions: your email address, subscription preferences and information associated with your signup and engagement, handled through Substack.
• Technical and security information: IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, request times and security signals processed by our hosting and security providers.

Please only send information relevant to your enquiry, and avoid including sensitive personal information.

We use personal information for the following purposes and, where UK data protection law applies, on these legal bases:

• Responding to enquiries and managing relationships: our legitimate interests in communicating with readers, prospective clients and partners. Where you ask about services with a view to entering a contract, processing may also be necessary to take steps at your request before that contract.
• Sending the newsletter: your consent when you subscribe. You can withdraw it at any time using the unsubscribe link in an email.
• Keeping the website secure and reliable: our legitimate interests in preventing spam, fraud and abuse, troubleshooting problems and delivering the website.
• Meeting legal requirements: where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Sending an enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing emails. Providing enquiry or subscription details is voluntary, but we need the relevant information to reply or deliver the newsletter.

Our contact form sends your enquiry through Cloudflare’s email service to our business inbox. We use the details you provide to review your message and respond. After a successful submission, we also attempt to send a short acknowledgement to your email address.

The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check for automated abuse. Cloudflare processes browser, device and network signals for this check. We also use request limits and a short-lived identifier derived from your email address to limit repeated acknowledgements.

Enquiries are delivered by email rather than stored in a separate website submissions database. Delivery and diagnostic logs may contain request details and delivery identifiers; our application does not deliberately log your message text.

Our newsletter signup is provided by Substack, including the embedded form on our subscribe page. Substack handles subscription details, confirmation where required, email delivery and unsubscribe preferences. Its service may also process information about email opens, link clicks and other interactions.

We use subscriber information to manage and send the newsletter you requested. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in a newsletter email. Substack also processes information for its own platform purposes as described in its privacy policy.

Hosting and security services may process traffic information to deliver the site, assess reliability and investigate abuse.

Cloudflare security services may use cookies or similar technologies where needed to protect the website. Embedded third-party services, including the Substack signup form and videos, may use their own cookies, local storage or tracking technologies when loaded.

You can manage cookies and site storage through your browser settings. Blocking them may affect embedded content or security checks. Where optional technologies require consent, that consent must be obtained before they are used.

We share information where needed to operate the website and respond to you, including with:

• Cloudflare: website hosting and delivery, security checks, abuse prevention and contact email delivery. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
• Substack: newsletter signup, subscription management and email delivery.
• Business email and professional service providers: to receive and respond to messages, administer our business and obtain advice when necessary.

We may also disclose information when legally required or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Access should be limited to what is needed for the relevant purpose.

Some articles include third-party content, such as YouTube videos. Loading an embed can share your IP address, browser information and the page you are visiting with its provider, even if you do not interact with it. The provider may associate your visit with an account you hold with it. See Google’s privacy policy for YouTube.

We link to external tools, booking services, social networks and other websites. Their privacy policies apply when you use those services.

Some recommendations contain affiliate links. If you follow one and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The merchant or affiliate network may use cookies or referral identifiers to attribute a visit or purchase and report referral activity. Their own privacy and cookie notices explain this processing.

Providers such as Cloudflare and Substack operate internationally, so personal information may be processed outside the UK or the country where you live. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for a transfer, these may include an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards, as applicable to the provider and transfer.

You can contact us to ask about the safeguards relevant to your information.

We use HTTPS, access controls and security checks to help protect information. No online service or email system can guarantee complete security.

We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, taking account of ongoing correspondence, the nature of a business relationship, legal record-keeping requirements and the need to resolve disputes. Information held by service providers is also subject to their applicable retention arrangements.

Depending on your location and the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to your information, correct inaccurate information, ask for deletion, restrict processing or receive certain information in a portable format. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent where we rely on it. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing.

To make a request, use our contact form. We may need to verify your identity before acting. We normally respond within one month, subject to any lawful extension or exception.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, please contact us. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or the relevant data protection authority where you live.

We may update this policy when our services, providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest update. Where a change requires further notice or fresh consent, we will provide it as appropriate.
