Privacy Policy

for ASRS Chatbot and asrsnews.in
Effective:

ASRS News ("ASRS", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you use the ASRS Chatbot preview pages and the website asrsnews.in (together, the "Services").

If you have any questions, email us at contact@asrsnews.in.

What we collect

Information you provide

  • Launch notifications: If you submit your email to be notified about the chatbot launch, we receive the email address you enter. On the current preview page, the form uses mailto:; this sends an email directly from your device and does not store data on our servers.
  • Contact messages: If you email us, we receive your email address and any content you include.

Information collected automatically

  • Basic logs: Our web host may collect standard server logs (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamp) for security and performance.
  • Cookies/local storage: The current preview pages use only essential browser storage (e.g., to remember UI state). No tracking cookies are set by us at this time.

If we add analytics or the live chatbot later, we will update this Policy to describe any new data flows.

How we use information

  • To send launch updates if you requested notifications.
  • To respond to your messages and provide support.
  • To protect, troubleshoot, and improve our Services (e.g., via security logs and performance data).
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

  • With service providers who operate our infrastructure (e.g., web hosting, email). They access data only to perform services on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations.
  • For legal reasons (e.g., to comply with applicable law or valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ASRS, our users, or the public).

Your choices & rights

  • Consent & withdrawal: Where we rely on your consent (e.g., launch emails), you can withdraw consent anytime by contacting us or using the unsubscribe instructions in our emails.
  • Access, correction, deletion: You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing contact@asrsnews.in.
  • Regional rights: We aim to honor requests under applicable laws, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and comparable regulations (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR) where relevant.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law. For launch notifications, we retain your email until the chatbot launches or you unsubscribe, whichever comes first.

Children’s privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

International data transfers

We operate from India. If we transfer personal information to other countries, we will take appropriate measures to protect it in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party services

  • Fonts: This site loads Google Fonts; when loaded, your browser connects to Google’s servers.
  • External links: We link to third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube). Clicking these links may allow those platforms to collect data per their own policies.
  • Future integrations: If we add analytics, chat providers, or other third-party tools, we will update this section with details and options.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Effective” date above. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice.
