1. Introduction and scope

This Privacy Policy describes how Duvdevan (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles personal information in connection with this website and related enquiries. [Insert a brief description of your services — for example, information, analysis tools, and contact forms].

This policy applies to visitors to this website and to individuals who contact us through it. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from this site, which have their own policies. [If you have a separate app, platform, or client portal, add or link its policy here].

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and some information automatically when you use the site. Adapt the list below to match what you actually collect:

• Contact and enquiry details: such as name, email address, and the content of your message when you use our contact or lead forms. [Add / remove fields as applicable].
• Preference and correspondence records: such as your communication preferences and records of enquiries or requests.
• Technical and usage information: such as pages viewed, referring pages, device and browser type, approximate location derived from IP address, and date and time of visit. [Confirm what your hosting / analytics actually collects].
• Cookies and similar technologies: as described in Section 5.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through this site. Please do not submit [e.g., financial account numbers, health information, or other sensitive details] via general contact forms. [Edit to reflect your position].

3. How we use information

We use personal information only for the purposes described below. [Confirm and edit]:

• To respond to enquiries and provide requested information;
• To operate, maintain, and improve the website, including troubleshooting and understanding aggregate use;
• To communicate about updates, changes to policies, or administrative matters;
• To protect the security and integrity of the site, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations;
• [Add any other purpose, e.g., “To send newsletters only where you have opted in” — delete if not applicable].

We do not sell personal information. We do not use information submitted through this site to provide regulated financial advice. [Edit as needed].

4. Legal bases and consent — to be confirmed

Depending on where you operate, data protection laws may require a legal basis for processing. The examples below are illustrative only and must be reviewed:

• Processing necessary to respond to your request or take steps before entering an agreement;
• Processing based on legitimate interests in operating and securing the site, balanced against your rights;
• Processing based on consent, for example where you opt in to optional communications or non-essential cookies, which you may withdraw at any time;
• Processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

[Delete this section if not relevant to your situation, or ask your adviser to confirm the correct bases and wording for your jurisdiction].

5. Cookies and analytics

This site may use strictly necessary cookies to make the site work (for example, remembering menu or form states) and, only if enabled, optional analytics or preference cookies. [Confirm what you actually use].

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality. [If you use a consent banner or analytics provider, name it here and link to its policy, e.g.: “[Insert provider and link]”].

6. How we share information

We share personal information only as described here. [Confirm and edit]:

• Service providers: such as website hosting, form processing, or analytics providers that process data on our behalf and under our instructions. [List categories or named providers if known].
• Legal and safety reasons: where we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, enforce terms, or protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business changes: in connection with a reorganisation or transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own marketing without your consent. [Edit to reflect your practice].

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example:

• Enquiry correspondence: [Insert period, e.g., “X months from last contact”];
• Technical logs: [Insert period];
• Consent records: [Insert period].

When information is no longer needed, we delete it or take steps to anonymise it. [Confirm your actual retention schedule].

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information, such as access controls, secure transmission where supported, and limited access on a need-to-know basis. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, which may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. These rights are not absolute and vary by jurisdiction.

To exercise a right, use our contact page with the subject “Privacy Request” and describe your request. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. [Insert authority details only after advice, if desired].

10. Children

This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children. [Insert age threshold relevant to your audience, e.g., “under 16/18”]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us so we can address it.

11. International transfers

[Include only if applicable]. If information is transferred to or processed in another country, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable requirements. [Describe safeguards used, e.g., contractual clauses, or delete if data stays in one country].
