Privacy Policy

Effective date: 1 January 2025 · Last updated: May 2026

Simlipal Media ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights under applicable law — including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

1. Who we are

Simlipal Media is a creator-economy agency based in India, operating globally. Our contact details:

2. What data we collect

We collect only the information you voluntarily provide when you contact us through our website form:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Brand / company name (for brand enquiries)
  • Social media handle (for creator enquiries)
  • Budget range (for brand enquiries)
  • Your message and stated goals

We do not collect any payment information, health data, or special category data through this website.

3. Why we collect it

We use your information solely to:

  • Respond to your enquiry within 24 hours
  • Assess whether we can help you as a brand or creator partner
  • Maintain a record of our correspondence

The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest (responding to your direct enquiry) and, where required, your consent given by submitting the form.

4. How we store and protect your data

Form submissions are processed and stored via Netlify Forms, which is hosted on secure servers with encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

5. How long we keep your data

We retain your contact information for up to 24 months from the date of your enquiry, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. If we enter a partnership agreement with you, data relevant to that agreement is retained for the duration of the contract plus any legally required period thereafter.

6. Third-party services

This website is hosted on Netlify. Our contact form is processed by Netlify Forms. Videos and images are served from our own Netlify deployment. We use Google Fonts for typography (fonts are loaded from Google's servers). None of these services receive your personal data beyond what is technically required for them to function.

7. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act and/or GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct any inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Withdraw consent at any time (where consent is the legal basis)
  • Object to our processing
  • Lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at work@simlipal.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

This website does not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies. The only cookies that may be set are strictly functional ones required by the hosting infrastructure (Netlify), which do not collect personally identifiable information.

9. Children's privacy

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted their information to us, please contact us immediately at work@simlipal.com.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be available at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
