Privacy Policy

We collect a minimal amount of data:

• Phone number: If you opt in to receive WhatsApp notifications about new blog posts, we collect your phone number through our subscription form. This is the only personal data we request.
• Analytics data (cookies): We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to understand how visitors use the Site. GTM loads for every visitor. If you are in the European Union, the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we ask first, and nothing that stores an identifier (Google Analytics cookies, Meta, OpenAI Ads, Microsoft Clarity) runs until you accept, though Google may still send a cookieless measurement ping. If you are in India, these run by default and the Site shows no cookie banner and offers no in-page way to reject them. Outside the European Union, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and India, these also run by default, but you can reject them using the cookie banner, and change your choice later by clearing your browser's site data for this domain. Analytics data may include pages visited, time on site, browser type, and approximate location.

If you opt in to receive email alerts about new blog posts, we collect your email address through our newsletter subscription form. We do not offer user accounts and do not have a comments system.

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), we process your personal data based on your consent:

• You provide your phone number voluntarily when subscribing to WhatsApp updates.
• If you are in the European Union, the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, analytics and advertising cookies are loaded only after you accept the cookie consent banner. If you are in India, these cookies are set by default and the Site does not show a cookie banner, so there is no in-page way to reject them. Outside the European Union, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and India, these cookies are also set by default and you may reject them using the banner, and change your choice later by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

You may withdraw consent for your phone number by contacting us (see below), after which we will cease using it. Where the Site shows a cookie banner, you can withdraw cookie consent there or by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

We retain your phone number for as long as you remain subscribed to WhatsApp updates. You can request deletion of your data at any time by sending a message to wa.me/918062963333 or calling +91-8062963333.

Upon receiving a deletion request, we will remove your phone number from our database within 7 business days and confirm the deletion via WhatsApp.

The Site relies on the following third-party services:

• Google Tag Manager: Analytics and tracking. Loads for every visitor; in the European Union, the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland it withholds cookies that store an identifier until you accept. In India, these cookies are set by default and the Site shows no cookie banner. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel: Site hosting and edge delivery. Subject to Vercel's Privacy Policy.
• Neon: Managed PostgreSQL database where subscriber phone numbers are stored. Subject to Neon's Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare R2: Object storage for blog images. Subject to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party.

The Site shows a cookie consent banner to most visitors. Google Tag Manager loads for every visitor. If you are in the European Union, the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we ask first: nothing that stores an identifier, including Google Analytics cookies, Meta, OpenAI Ads, and Microsoft Clarity, runs until you accept, though Google may still send a cookieless measurement ping. If you are in India, these run by default and the Site shows no banner and offers no in-page way to reject them. Outside the European Union, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and India, these also run by default, and you can reject them using the banner, and change your choice later by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

Your choice is stored in a tws_consent cookie, shared across tradingwithsidhant.com and its subdomains, and in a cookie_consent key in your browser's localStorage. Both are kept for one year.

To change your choice, clear your browser's site data for this domain.

The Site is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
