Site privacy policy.

This policy describes how Quietfield ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the quietfield.in website. It does not cover any Quietfield products; those have their own policies linked from quietfield.in/legal/.

§1 Who we are

Quietfield is a software studio incorporated in Delhi, India. For the purposes of data protection law, Quietfield is the data controller for personal data processed through this website. You can reach us at the contact page.

§2 What this site collects

This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure aggregate traffic. GA4 loads a script from googletagmanager.com and sets two persistent cookies in your browser: _ga and _ga_KYY6N65TB7, both expiring after two years. These cookies assign a random identifier to your browser so that repeat visits can be counted as one user. The data collected includes pages visited, approximate geographic location (country/city, derived from IP address), device type, browser, and referral source. GA4 does not collect your name, email address, or any directly identifying information.

This data is sent to Google LLC and processed on Google's servers, which are primarily located in the United States. Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Quietfield uses this data only to understand which pages are read and where visitors come from. It is not used for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking. Google Signals, advertising features, and data sharing with Google products are all disabled for this property.

Hostinger's servers also generate standard HTTP access logs (IP address, request path, timestamp, user agent) as part of infrastructure operation. These logs are governed by Hostinger's privacy policy. Quietfield does not access or process these logs.

You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking the googletagmanager.com domain with a content blocker.

§3 Fonts and external resources

All fonts are self-hosted. No requests are made to Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or any external font service. Apart from Google Analytics, no other third-party scripts are loaded. There are no embedded social media widgets, video players, or comment systems.

§4 Contact form

The contact form at quietfield.in/contact/ submits data via POST to a PHP handler running on the same server. The fields collected are your name, email address, and message. This data is used only to respond to your enquiry. It is not stored in a database, not shared with third parties, and not used for marketing purposes. The handler sends the submission to hello@quietfield.in and does not retain a copy beyond what the email server holds.

The legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — namely, responding to a message you have chosen to send us. If you are in the EU or UK, you may request deletion of your submitted message by contacting us; we will remove it from our email archive within 30 days.

§5 Your rights (EU / UK / EEA)

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or European Economic Area, you have the following rights under the GDPR (or UK GDPR) with respect to personal data we hold:

• Right of access — you may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure — you may ask us to delete personal data we hold (subject to legal obligations to retain it).
• Right to restriction — you may ask us to restrict processing while a dispute is resolved.
• Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to data portability — you may request data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to lodge a complaint — you may contact your national supervisory authority. For India-based users, this is the Data Protection Board of India. For EU users, the relevant national Data Protection Authority. For UK users, the ICO.

For contact form submissions, exercise these rights via the contact page. For Google Analytics data, use Google's opt-out tools or contact us and we will apply a deletion request to our GA4 property.

§6 Your rights (California — CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you additional rights:

• Right to know — you may ask what personal information we collect and how it is used.
• Right to delete — you may ask us to delete personal information we collected from you.
• Right to opt out of sale — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. There is nothing to opt out of.
• Right to non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any CCPA rights.

To exercise CCPA rights, contact us via the contact page. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

§7 India — Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA)

Quietfield is incorporated in India and complies with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. The limited personal data processed through this site (contact form submissions) is processed on the basis of consent and legitimate use. You have the right to access, correct, and request erasure of your personal data. Contact us via the contact page to exercise these rights.

§8 International transfers

Contact form submissions are delivered via email to an inbox accessed in India. Hostinger's infrastructure is distributed globally; access logs may be processed in the EU or USA. If you are in the EU and concerned about transfers, note that Hostinger (Hostinger International Ltd.) is an EU-based company covered by GDPR.

Google Analytics data (§2) is transferred to and processed by Google LLC in the United States. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as the legal mechanism for transferring personal data from the EU/EEA to the USA. For more information, see Google's data transfer frameworks.

§9 Data retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. We do not retain contact form data for longer than 12 months from receipt. No other personal data is retained by this site.

§10 Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has submitted personal data, we will delete it promptly.

§11 Changes

Material changes to this policy will be reflected with a new effective date at the top of this page. We will not retroactively reduce your rights under this policy without explicit notice.

§12 Contact and complaints

Privacy enquiries: contact page. We aim to respond within 5 business days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
