Privacy Policy
SyntaxSutra ("we", "us", "our", operating at http://127.0.0.1:8000) respects your privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what happens to your data when you visit this website — in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).
1. Who we are
- Website: http://127.0.0.1:8000
- Contact email: hello@syntaxsutra.com
- Grievance Officer: [YOUR NAME], reachable at hello@syntaxsutra.com — for any privacy complaint or data query, we respond within a reasonable time.
2. Our core commitment: we don't collect your personal data
SyntaxSutra does not require you to create an account, log in, subscribe, or submit any personal information to read our content. We do not run comment sections, membership areas, newsletters, or data-collection forms of any kind on this website.
If you want to contact us
We don't have a contact form. If you'd like to reach out — for feedback, a correction, or a query — you can email us directly at hello@syntaxsutra.com. Anything you choose to share in that email stays in our inbox, is used only to respond to you, and is never sold, shared, or added to any marketing list.
We do not collect: your name, phone number, physical address, government IDs, financial details, biometric data, or location data through this website. The only way any personal information reaches us is if you choose to email us directly.
3. Cookies and third-party advertising (Google AdSense)
While we don't collect your data ourselves, this site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense, and possibly use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. These are separate services operated by Google LLC, and they use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Show ads relevant to your interests (personalized ads)
- Measure ad performance
- Understand aggregate site traffic and usage patterns (if Analytics is enabled)
This means Google — not SyntaxSutra — may collect data such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, and browsing behavior across sites, governed by Google's own Privacy Policy. You can control ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
Your consent matters under the DPDP Act. This site shows a cookie consent banner before any non-essential cookie (including ad and analytics cookies) is set, and you can reject non-essential cookies while still reading content freely.
4. Your browser's local storage (remembering your cookie choice)
When you accept or reject the cookie banner, that single choice is saved using your browser's local storage — a small piece of data kept on your own device, not sent to or stored on our server. This is what lets us avoid showing you the banner on every page. It holds nothing about you personally, only the word "accepted" or "rejected," and you can clear it anytime by clearing your browser's site data for syntaxsutra.com.
5. Server-side performance caching
To keep the site fast, our server may temporarily save a ready-made copy of a public page (like this one) for a few minutes, so the next visitor gets it instantly instead of the page being rebuilt from scratch. This cached copy is identical for every visitor — it does not contain your IP address, cookies, or any visitor-specific information, since we don't collect that to begin with. It's purely a speed optimization, not a data store about you.
6. What we collect automatically (server logs)
Like virtually every website, our hosting provider's server automatically logs basic technical information for security and performance purposes — such as IP address, browser type, and access timestamps. This is standard server behavior, not something we actively collect for profiling, and is typically auto-deleted by the hosting provider after a short retention window.
7. Your rights as a Data Principal (under the DPDP Act)
- Access — ask what data (if any) we hold about you (e.g., an email you sent us)
- Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Erasure — ask us to delete an email or query you previously sent us
- Grievance redressal — raise a complaint with our Grievance Officer above, and if unresolved, escalate to the Data Protection Board of India
To exercise any of these, email hello@syntaxsutra.com.
8. Children's data
This website does not knowingly collect data from children. We do not target advertising or content specifically at minors, and since we have no forms or sign-ups, we do not knowingly gather any information from child visitors.
9. Data storage and security
This website itself does not store any personal data, since there are no forms, accounts, or subscriptions. If you email us directly, that message is stored in our inbox only as long as needed to address your query. We do not sell, rent, or trade any data to third parties.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy — for example, if we add new advertising partners or any data-collecting feature in the future. Any change that adds new data collection will be reflected here with an updated "Last updated" date, and, where the DPDP Act requires it, a fresh consent prompt.
