    PRIVACY POLICY

    Last updated: 6 August 2026

    This Privacy Policy explains how Sandeep N. Setty collects, uses and handles personal information through sandeepnsetty.com.

    The website is hosted through GoDaddy. Website enquiries and contact records are managed through HubSpot, and Google Analytics is used to understand how visitors use the website.

    This policy is intended to provide a clear and proportionate explanation of the website’s information practices. It should be read together with any separate engagement terms agreed where professional work proceeds.

    1. Information collected

    When you submit an enquiry, we may collect:

    • Your name

    • Email address or mobile number

    • City and country, where provided

    • Whether you are a founder, family member, existing client, professional introducer or another type of enquirer

    • The broad area of concern you select

    • A brief description of your enquiry

    • Your preferred contact method

    • Your consent record

    • Correspondence exchanged after the enquiry

    The website may also collect limited technical information, such as:

    • Browser and device information

    • Pages visited

    • Approximate location derived from an internet address

    • Referring website

    • Date and time of visits

    • General website-usage information

    Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and report information about website activity. Google explains that websites using its analytics services may share information such as the page visited, browser information and IP address with Google. (Google Privacy & Terms)

    2. Information you should not submit

    Please do not submit sensitive family, financial or legal documents through the public enquiry form.

    This includes:

    • Wills or trust deeds

    • Financial statements

    • Tax records

    • Bank or investment statements

    • Identity documents

    • Account credentials or passwords

    • Policy or contract documents

    • Detailed allegations concerning family disputes

    • Confidential information that is unnecessary for the preliminary discussion

    Please also avoid including unnecessary personal information about other family members or third parties.

    A brief description of the broad concern is sufficient for the initial enquiry.

    3. How information is used

    Information submitted through the website may be used to:

    • Review and respond to your enquiry

    • Determine whether the matter falls within the practice’s scope

    • Arrange a preliminary conversation

    • Maintain a record of correspondence

    • Administer a professional engagement where one is separately accepted

    • Coordinate with existing professional advisors where authorised

    • Maintain and improve the website

    • Protect the website against misuse, fraud or security threats

    • Meet applicable legal, regulatory or professional obligations

    Submitting an enquiry does not create a professional engagement.

    Any formal engagement will be governed by separate terms covering scope, responsibilities, fees, information requirements and confidentiality.

    4. HubSpot

    Website enquiry forms and contact records are managed through HubSpot.

    HubSpot may process information submitted through the website on behalf of the practice. HubSpot describes itself as a processor when its customers use its services to collect and manage personal information. (Legal HubSpot)

    Information held in HubSpot is used for enquiry management, correspondence and relationship administration.

    Submitting an enquiry does not automatically add you to a newsletter or promotional mailing list.

    5. Communications

    We may contact you through the method you select, including email, telephone or WhatsApp.

    Please do not send sensitive family, financial or legal documents through ordinary email or WhatsApp unless an appropriate information-sharing method has been agreed.

    Messages sent through email, WhatsApp or other third-party platforms are also subject to the privacy and security practices of those providers.

    6. Cookies and analytics

    The website uses Google Analytics to understand matters such as:

    • Which pages are visited

    • How visitors arrive at the website

    • General visitor engagement

    • Device and browser categories

    • Website performance

    This information is used to improve the website and understand which content is useful.

    Google may process information collected through websites that use Google Analytics in accordance with Google’s own privacy practices. (Google Privacy & Terms)

    You may manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website operate.

    7. Sharing of information

    Personal information is not sold.

    Information may be shared only where reasonably necessary with:

    • Website and hosting providers

    • HubSpot

    • Email and communication providers

    • Analytics providers

    • Technology-support providers

    • Professional advisors involved with your authority

    • Government, regulatory or legal authorities where required by law

    • Other persons where you have authorised the disclosure

    Only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose should be shared.

    8. International processing

    Some technology providers used by the website may process or store information outside India.

    Where this occurs, the information may be handled in accordance with the provider’s contractual, privacy and security arrangements and applicable legal requirements. HubSpot and Google describe international processing and data-transfer practices in their respective privacy materials. (Legal HubSpot)

    9. Retention

    Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

    • Respond to the enquiry

    • Assess whether a professional engagement may be appropriate

    • Maintain appropriate correspondence and business records

    • Administer an accepted engagement

    • Resolve questions or disputes

    • Meet applicable legal, regulatory or professional requirements

    Records relating to a formal engagement may be retained for a different period under the applicable engagement terms and professional record-keeping requirements.

    10. Security

    Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information handled through the website and related systems.

    However, no method of electronic transmission, website hosting, email communication or digital storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

    Visitors should therefore avoid sending sensitive information until an appropriate method has been agreed.

    11. Your requests

    You may contact the practice to request, where applicable:

    • Access to information held about you

    • Correction of inaccurate information

    • Deletion of information that is no longer required

    • Withdrawal of consent

    • Clarification of how information is being used

    • Cessation of non-essential communications

    A request may require reasonable verification of identity.

    Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, regulatory, professional or record-keeping purposes.

    India’s data-protection framework includes the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, which have been introduced through a phased regulatory process. (MeitY)

    12. Children and information about others

    The website is not directed to children.

    A minor should not submit personal information without the involvement of a parent or lawful guardian.

    Where you provide information about another family member or third party, you should provide only what is necessary and have an appropriate basis for sharing it.

    13. External websites

    The website may contain links to third-party websites, publications, platforms or professional resources.

    Sandeep N. Setty is not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of those external websites. Visitors should review the relevant third party’s policies before providing information.

    14. Changes to this policy

    This Privacy Policy may be updated when:

    • Website systems change

    • Service providers change

    • Information-handling practices change

    • Legal or regulatory requirements change

    The revised date will be shown at the top of this page.
