Privacy policy

Who is responsible for this site

Divya Kandikatti operates divyakandikatti.com and is responsible for the personal data processed through this website where applicable data-protection law treats the site operator as a controller.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited and how people move through the experience. Google Analytics does not load unless you choose “Accept analytics” in the cookie notice.

Where consent is required by applicable law, consent is the basis for this analytics processing. If you decline analytics, the Google Analytics tag is not loaded by this site. If you later withdraw consent, the site stops sending further analytics events.

What analytics may collect

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may process information about your visit, such as pages viewed, interactions with the site, device and browser information, approximate location derived from network information, and identifiers used to distinguish visits. This site does not use Google Analytics for advertising or remarketing.

Cookies and local storage

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure site usage. The site also stores your analytics preference in your browser’s local storage so you are not asked to make the same choice on every page visit.

You can revisit your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” control shown on the site. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics tracking from this site.

Google as a service provider

When analytics is enabled, Google may process analytics data on this site’s behalf. Google may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States, subject to its contractual and data-transfer arrangements.

You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and its information about business data and privacy.

Information you provide directly

This site does not currently require an account or collect personal information through a contact form. If you choose to contact me by email or through a linked third-party service, the information you provide is handled through that service.

Third-party services and links

The site links to or embeds services such as Substack and links to platforms such as LinkedIn and YouTube. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and may collect information when you interact with them.

Your choices and rights

You may decline analytics when the consent notice appears. If you previously accepted or declined, you can use “Cookie settings” to review and change that preference at any time.

Where GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar privacy laws apply, you may also have rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and the right to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority in your country or region.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained according to the settings configured in Google Analytics. Those settings may change over time as the site evolves. Your cookie preference remains in your browser’s local storage until you change it, clear site data, or your browser removes it.
