Privacy

This page explains what personal data Closed Companies collects, why, and the choices you have. Closed Companies is run by an individual based in India, who decides how this data is used (the “data fiduciary” under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, and the “controller” under the GDPR and UK GDPR). We don't sell or rent personal data, and we don't use advertising trackers.

Email digest

If you subscribe, we store:

• your email address;
• whether and when you confirmed the subscription (we send the digest only after you click the link in the confirmation email);
• the IP address the sign-up came from, to prevent abuse; and
• delivery information, such as when emails were sent and whether they bounced or were marked as spam.

We use this only to send the digest you asked for. Our legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link in every digest email. When you unsubscribe we stop emailing you and keep a record that you unsubscribed so we don't email you again. To have your record deleted entirely, email akshatsing11@gmail.com.

Visit statistics

To count unique visitors, the site sets a first-party cookie called cc_visitor_id. It holds a random ID, lasts up to one year and isn't used for advertising or shared with anyone. Against that ID we store the day of your visit and a page-view count. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we don't set this cookie or record your visit. We also use Vercel Web Analytics, which reports aggregated page-view statistics without using cookies.

Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses and request details) to run and secure the site. If something goes wrong while sending an email, the log may include the email address concerned.

Service providers and transfers

The site is hosted on Vercel, data is stored with MongoDB, and emails are sent through Resend. These providers process data on our behalf to run the site and may store it outside your country, including in the United States.

How long we keep data

We keep subscriber data while you are subscribed and, after you unsubscribe, only the minimum needed to respect that choice, unless you ask us to delete it. Visit statistics are kept only as long as they are useful for understanding how the site is used.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, update or delete your personal data, withdraw consent, object to or restrict how we use it, or receive a copy of it. Under India's DPDP Act you can also nominate another person to exercise your rights. Email akshatsing11@gmail.com and we'll respond within the time required by applicable law. If you are in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority. We don't sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

Grievances

For any concern or complaint about how your personal data is handled, contact our grievance contact at akshatsing11@gmail.com. Please include “Privacy” in the subject line.
