Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website is operated under the name DPPForged. For privacy requests and grievances, contact: privacy@dppforged.com. Website: https://dppforged.com.

2. What we collect

Information you provide through inquiry or contact forms may include:

• Name (first and last)
• Work email address
• Company name and optional company website
• Role, persona, country, company size, product category
• Goals you select and any optional message

Technical data may be processed automatically by our hosting and infrastructure to operate the Site securely and to mitigate abuse (for example, IP address and request metadata in server logs). We do not use third-party marketing analytics on this Site as configured for launch.

3. Why we use data

• To respond to your inquiry and propose relevant next steps.
• To operate, secure, and improve the Site (including spam and abuse prevention).
• To comply with legal obligations where applicable.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal effects about you based solely on inquiry submissions.

4. Legal bases (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we rely on appropriate bases such as: (a) taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract or discussion; (b) our legitimate interests in responding to business inquiries and securing our services; and (c) compliance with legal obligations, where relevant.

5. Legal bases (DPDP Act)

Where the DPDP Act applies, we process personal data for lawful purposes connected to your inquiry, with notice provided here and (where required) consent obtained through your submission of the form. You may withdraw consent or object to certain processing where the law allows, subject to exceptions.

6. Where data is processed

Our service providers may process data in India, the European Economic Area, the United States, or other regions where they operate. When personal data is transferred across borders, we use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law (such as contractual clauses offered by providers, where applicable).

7. Subprocessors (categories)

We use vendors only as needed to run the Site and handle inquiries, for example:

• Hosting and application platform (e.g., deployment provider)
• Database / backend (e.g., managed database)
• Email or notification delivery (if enabled for inquiry alerts)

Specific providers may change; the categories above describe the typical processing.

8. Retention

We retain inquiry records for up to 180 days after submission unless a longer period is needed to manage an ongoing relationship, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Server logs used for security may be retained for a shorter operational window defined by our hosting provider.

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including access controls and encryption in transit (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (GDPR) or with the Data Protection Board of India (DPDP Act), as applicable.

To exercise rights or raise a privacy concern, email privacy@dppforged.com. For grievances under the DPDP Act, you may also use the same contact; we will acknowledge and respond as required by applicable law.

11. Cookies

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies for launch. Essential cookies or local storage may be used by the platform to keep the Site functioning. If we add non-essential cookies later, we will update this notice and any consent mechanism as required.

12. Children

The Site is not directed to children. Do not submit personal data if you are under the age required by applicable law to consent.

13. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will change when we do.
