Privacy policy

The short version: we only collect your email if you subscribe, we only use it to send The Candor Brief, we never sell it, and you can have it deleted anytime.

Who we are

CandorSaaS is an independent website operated from India. For anything about this policy, email contact@candorsaas.com. Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, CandorSaaS is the “Data Fiduciary”; under the EU/UK GDPR, the “controller”.

What we collect

• Your email address, if you subscribe. Our newsletter provider, beehiiv, also records when and where you subscribed and, like most newsletter tools, whether emails are opened and links clicked.
• The signup form. The newsletter form on our homepage is loaded from beehiiv, so beehiiv receives your IP address and basic browser details when that page loads, and may use cookies or similar technology to make the form work and prevent spam. See beehiiv’s privacy policy.
• Basic server logs. Our host, Cloudflare, automatically processes requests to the site (IP address, browser type, page, time) to deliver it securely and protect it from attacks. We don’t use this to identify you.
• Fonts. Our pages load typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address.

We don’t run analytics or advertising trackers of our own. If that changes, we’ll update this page first.

Why we use it

• To send you the newsletter, because you asked us to (your consent).
• To keep the site working and secure.

That’s all. We don’t sell, rent or trade your data, and we don’t use it for advertising.

Who we share it with

Only the services that help run the site, acting on our instructions:

• beehiiv — newsletter and signup form (United States)
• Cloudflare — website hosting and security
• Google Fonts — typefaces

Some of these providers are outside India and the EU, so your data may be processed in other countries under their published privacy and security terms. We will also disclose data if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Your email stays on our list while you’re subscribed. When you unsubscribe, we delete it within 30 days. Server logs are kept by Cloudflare under its own retention policy.

Your rights

You can, at any time and for free:

• Unsubscribe using the link in any email — this withdraws your consent
• Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct or delete it
• Nominate someone to exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to (India)
• Object to or restrict processing, or ask for your data in a portable format (EU/UK)

Email contact@candorsaas.com and we’ll respond within 30 days.

Complaints

If you have a concern, email us first at contact@candorsaas.com. If we don’t resolve it, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India, or, if you’re in the EU or UK, to your local data protection authority.

Children

CandorSaaS is for business readers and isn’t intended for anyone under 18. We don’t knowingly collect their data; if you think a minor has subscribed, tell us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. For significant changes, we’ll also tell subscribers by email.
