This policy explains what data Kodainya collects from visitors to www.kodainya.com, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data.
Where a section says “we collect X,” that is a binding statement — if our practice ever changes, this policy changes with it.
For any question about this policy, email hello@kodainya.com.
1. Who we are
Kodainya is a defense-focused content publication operated by Adaptive Inc (“we,” “us,” “our”).
We are the data controller for personal data processed through www.kodainya.com. Our data-protection contact is hello@kodainya.com.
2. The short version
| What we collect | When | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact-form submissions (name, email, message) | When you submit the contact form | Reply to your enquiry | Until you ask us to delete |
| Server logs (IP, user agent, request path) | Every page load | Security, abuse prevention, debugging | 30 days |
We do not run analytics. We do not use tracking cookies. We do not run advertising. We do not sell or share data beyond the named processors below.
3. What we collect, in detail
3.1 Contact form
When you submit the contact form on /contact, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your subject line and message
- The approximate IP address of your submission (for spam prevention)
We process this data to respond to your enquiry, and we retain it until you ask us to delete it or until the conversation is no longer relevant to our operations, whichever comes first.
3.2 Server logs
Every request to kodainya.com is logged by our hosting provider. Logs include your IP address, requested URL, user agent, response status, and timestamp.
These logs are retained for 30 days and used only for security monitoring, debugging, and aggregate traffic analysis. We do not access individual log entries in the ordinary course of operations.
4. What we don’t collect
For clarity, we are explicit about what we do not do:
- We do not run analytics on this site (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no any other analytics service).
- We do not set tracking cookies.
- We do not run advertising.
- We do not build behavioral profiles of visitors.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with brokers, advertisers, or any party not named in this policy.
- We do not use session-replay tools.
- We do not require account creation for readers.
- We do not collect special-category data (health, religion, political views, biometrics) as defined by GDPR Article 9 or DPDP Act 2023.
If we add a tool that changes the above, this policy will be updated before that tool launches.
5. Who we share data with
We share data only with the following processors, each of which processes data on our behalf under a written agreement:
| Processor | Data category | Country |
|---|---|---|
| HubSpot, Inc. | Contact-form submissions | USA |
| Vercel, Inc. | Server logs | USA |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Media-domain requests | USA |
All US-based processors are subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or equivalent Standard Contractual Clauses for EU/EEA data transfers. Indian data is processed under the terms of the DPDP Act 2023.
We do not share data with any party not listed above, except where required by law. Where lawful, we will challenge such requests and notify affected users.
6. International transfers
Some processors listed above store data outside India and outside the EEA. We rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses as appropriate safeguards.
If you are in a jurisdiction with specific cross-border-transfer rules, you may request details of the safeguards in place at hello@kodainya.com.
7. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data
- Object to processing
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Complain to a supervisory authority (see Section 11)
If you are a resident of the EU, UK, California, or India, additional specific rights under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or the DPDP Act 2023 may apply.
To exercise any right, email hello@kodainya.com with the subject line “Privacy request” and a brief description of what you want. We aim to respond within 30 days.
If we cannot identify you from the data we hold — for example, if you have only read articles and never submitted the contact form — there may be nothing specific to delete. We will explain this in our response.
8. Children
Kodainya is intended for an adult, professional readership. The site is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided data to us, contact hello@kodainya.com.
9. Security
We use industry-standard security practices to protect data in transit and at rest, including transport encryption and access controls.
No system is perfectly secure. If we experience a breach affecting your data, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
Material changes — changes that expand what we collect, change who we share with, or affect your rights — will be notified by a banner on the homepage for at least 30 days.
Minor clarifications (typos, restructuring without practice changes) will not trigger notification.
11. Complaints
If you believe we have mishandled your data, email hello@kodainya.com first — we’d like the chance to fix it.
If you remain unsatisfied, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority:
- India: Data Protection Board of India
- EU/EEA: the data protection authority in your country of residence
- UK:Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) — ico.org.uk
- California:California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) — cppa.ca.gov
