At RewariLive (https://rewarilive.in), we respect the privacy of every visitor and are committed to protecting personal data. This GDPR Policy explains how we approach compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and outlines the rights available to visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA). While RewariLive is an India-based lifestyle publication, we extend these protections to all our readers because privacy matters everywhere.
1. Scope and Applicability
The GDPR applies to organizations that process personal data of individuals located in the EU/EEA, particularly when offering goods or services to them or monitoring their behavior. RewariLive is an informational website publishing articles on parenting, health, lifestyle, home improvement, and recipes, primarily aimed at an Indian audience. We do not specifically target EEA residents, sell goods or services to them, or intentionally profile them for advertising purposes.
However, because our website is globally accessible, we have adopted this GDPR Policy as a statement of our commitment to data protection best practices. If you are located in the EEA and believe we process your personal data, this policy explains your rights and how to exercise them.
2. Personal Data We Collect
We collect only minimal personal data necessary for the operation of our website:
- Information you provide voluntarily: When you contact us via email (for feedback, corrections, or inquiries), you may share your name, email address, and the content of your message.
- Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we may collect technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, device information, and pages visited through cookies and analytics tools. This data is generally aggregated and not used to identify individuals.
We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial information, or government identification numbers. We do not require user registration to access our content.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. For RewariLive, the applicable bases are:
- Legitimate Interests: Processing technical data (such as IP addresses and browsing patterns) to maintain website security, improve content, and ensure the site functions properly. This processing is limited and does not involve profiling for advertising.
- Consent: Where we use non-essential cookies or analytics tools that require consent, we obtain your consent through our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal Obligation: Where we are required to retain correspondence for legal or regulatory compliance.
4. Your Rights Under the GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of Access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data.
- Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit the processing of your data under certain circumstances.
- Right to Data Portability: You can request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to Object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at rewarilive.in@gmail.com. We will respond within one month of receiving your request, as required by the GDPR, and may extend this period by two further months for complex requests with prior notice.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:
- Email correspondence: Retained for up to 24 months to resolve queries and maintain records of corrections.
- Analytics data: Retained in aggregated, anonymized form and not linked to individual identities.
6. International Data Transfers
RewariLive is based in India. If you are located in the EEA and contact us, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in India. While India does not currently have an EU adequacy decision, we take steps to ensure that any data transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including limiting the data collected to what is strictly necessary and applying the security measures described below.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including:
- Secure email handling and restricted access to correspondence
- HTTPS encryption on our website
- Regular review of third-party tools and services
However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you not to share sensitive information via email.
8. Cookies and Consent
We use cookies as described in our Cookies Policy. For EEA visitors, we obtain consent for non-essential cookies through a consent banner that allows you to accept or refuse specific cookie categories. You can change your preferences at any time through your browser settings or our consent management tool.
9. Data Breach Notification
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by the GDPR. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also inform you directly without undue delay, describing the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, and the measures we have taken.
10. Complaints
If you believe we have not complied with the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your EU member state of residence, place of work, or where the alleged infringement occurred. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you contact a supervisory authority.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this GDPR Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
