We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf under contract:
- Hostinger: website hosting and database storage.
- Brevo (Sendinblue): delivering form notifications and confirmation emails.

Links to WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn take you to those services, which have their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger.
5. International transfers
We are based in India and our service providers may process data in other countries, including the United States and the European Union. When personal data from the EEA or UK is transferred to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses offered by our providers.
6. How long we keep it
- Enquiries and appointment requests that don’t lead to a project: up to 24 months after our last contact.
- Client and project records: for the duration of the project and as long as required for tax, accounting and legal purposes.
- Job applications and CVs: up to 12 months after the recruitment decision, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
- Analytics data: Google Analytics retains event data for up to 14 months.
When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
We use Google Analytics cookies by default to understand how our website is used. When you first visit, a banner lets you reject them, and you can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. When you reject analytics, Google Analytics stops immediately and its cookies are deleted. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out and do not run analytics.

We have not sold or shared personal information (as those terms are defined in the CCPA) in the last 12 months, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.

- request deletion of your personal information;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Although we don’t sell or share it, you can record your choice at any time using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our footer, and we honour Global Privacy Control signals;
- not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To make a request, email info@codeventure.co.in or call +91 799 032 5506. We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. We will verify your request by matching information you provide with information we hold. You may use an authorised agent, who must provide proof of your signed permission.
10. India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023)
If you are in India, you have the right to access information about your personal data, request its correction, completion, updating or erasure, nominate another person to exercise your rights, and seek grievance redressal. Please send grievances to info@codeventure.co.in. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
11. Security
We use HTTPS encryption, access-controlled storage, password-protected administration and reputable service providers to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the relevant authorities of a breach where the law requires it.
12. Children
Our website and services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
