Privacy
Policy

K4M2A ("we", "us") runs this website. We want it to be a place to read, not a place that watches you. This policy explains the small amount of information we handle and what we do with it.

What we collect

When you just read. You don't need an account to read anything here, and we don't ask you to sign up. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we don't sell or rent personal information to anyone.

If you choose a light or dark theme, your browser remembers that choice on your own device. It is never sent to us.

When you contact us. If you email us, use the contact form, or reply to an article or question, we receive what you choose to send: your message, and your name and email address if you add them. Name and email are always optional. We use them only to read and reply to you. If you leave out your email, we can still read your message, but we can’t write back.

Messages sent through the forms on this site are delivered to our inbox by Web3Forms, a form service. It passes each message on to us as an email. Web3Forms says it keeps submissions for at most three years before deleting them; we delete messages from our side as described below. You can read Web3Forms’ privacy policy.

Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider, Vercel, may automatically log basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We use this only to keep the site running and secure. You can read Vercel’s privacy policy.

Services we rely on

To display the site, your browser loads fonts from Google Fonts. When it does, Google receives your IP address. You can read Google's privacy policy for how they handle it.

Some pages link to our podcast site, k4m2a.org, where you can ask to be a guest. Information you send through that form is handled there.

How long we keep it

We keep messages for as long as we need them to carry on the conversation, and then delete them. We don't build profiles of our readers.

Your choices

You can ask us at any time to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you. Write to founders@k4m2a.com and we'll respond within 30 days.

The law we follow

K4M2A Foundation is based in India, and we handle personal information in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. If you live elsewhere, you may have further rights under your own country’s law, such as the GDPR in the European Union, and we will honour them.

Complaints. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, write to founders@k4m2a.com with “Privacy” in the subject. We will reply within 30 days. If you are still not satisfied, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Children

This site is written for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
