Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, store and protect your personal information, and the rights you have over it.
This policy explains what personal information Neel Networks collects, why we collect it, how we look after it, and what rights you have. It applies to visitors to neelnetworks.com and to our clients.
In short: we collect only what we need, we never sell your information, and you may ask us to show it to you or delete it at any time.
Who we are
Neel Networks is a web design, development and digital services company based at A-104, Bhoomi Utsav, M. G. Road, Kandivali West, Mumbai 400067, Maharashtra, India. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the data controller for the information described here.
What we collect
- When you enquire: your name, email address, telephone number, city or country, company name, and whatever you tell us about your project.
- When you apply for a role: your contact details, location, links you share, the position applied for, your experience, qualifications and skills, your notice period and expectations, your CV and any portfolio or cover note.
- When you become a client: business and billing details, project information, and any access credentials you choose to share with us for the work.
- Automatically, when you browse: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and time spent, and the site that referred you.
We do not knowingly collect information from children, and we do not collect sensitive categories of personal data.
Why we use it
- To reply to your enquiry and prepare a quotation.
- To deliver, support and invoice the work you have asked us to do.
- To consider your application if you have applied for a role.
- To improve the website and understand how it is used.
- To send occasional updates, only where you have agreed to receive them.
- To meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.
Our legal basis
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on: contract (to deliver work you have engaged us for), legitimate interests (to respond to enquiries and improve our service, balanced against your privacy), consent (for marketing emails and non-essential cookies, which you may withdraw at any time), and legal obligation (for tax and accounting records).
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we never share it for someone else's marketing.
We do share it, only as far as necessary, with trusted service providers who help us operate: our hosting provider, our email delivery service, analytics providers, payment processors, and professional advisers such as our accountants. Each is bound to protect your information and to use it only on our instructions. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies that are necessary for the website to work, and analytics cookies that help us understand which pages are useful. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent, and you may change your choice at any time in your browser or through the cookie notice.
Our full Cookie Policy explains each cookie in detail.
How we keep it safe
Your information is held on secured servers with encrypted connections (HTTPS), access limited to the colleagues who need it, and regular backups. Client credentials are stored in an encrypted password manager and are never shared by email. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, but should a breach ever affect your rights, we will inform you and the relevant authority promptly.
Your rights
You may ask us at any time to:
- See the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct anything inaccurate or incomplete.
- Delete it, where no legal obligation requires us to keep it.
- Receive a copy in a portable format, or have it sent to another provider.
- Object to processing based on our legitimate interests, or to marketing.
- Restrict processing while a concern is being resolved.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the basis we rely upon.
Write to support@neelnetworks.com and we will respond within 30 days, free of charge. If you are in the EU, EEA or UK and remain unhappy, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
International transfers
We are based in India, and some of our service providers operate elsewhere. Where information is transferred outside your country, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, and we take care that it is protected to the standard described in this policy.
Other websites
Our website links to other sites, and our clients' sites are their own. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any website we do not operate, and we would encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices or the law change, and the date at the top always shows the latest review. Where a change is significant, we will say so clearly on this page.
Any questions about these terms? Please write to support@neelnetworks.com and we will gladly explain.
Is anything here
unclear? .
Please do ask. We would much rather explain a clause than have you agree to something you have not had time to read.
