GDPR Compliance
Last updated: [Month Day, Year]
If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you specific rights over your personal data. This page explains those rights, the legal basis we rely on to process your data, and how to submit a request.
Who This Applies To
This page applies to visitors, readers, and newsletter subscribers located in the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA) whose personal data we process in connection with their use of thedailyfintech.com (the "Site"). It supplements our main Privacy Policy, which applies to all visitors regardless of location.
Data Controller
For the purposes of GDPR, The Daily Deep Tech, based in Pune, Maharashtra, India, acts as the data controller for personal data collected through the Site — meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing your data.
EU Representative: [If applicable under GDPR Article 27, name and contact details of your appointed EU representative go here. If you do not yet have one and have meaningful EU traffic or subscribers, this is worth confirming with a lawyer.]
Your Rights Under GDPR
As a data subject under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and information on how it's processed.
Right to Rectification
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data, sometimes known as the "right to be forgotten."
Right to Restrict Processing
Ask us to pause or limit how we process your data under certain circumstances.
Right to Data Portability
Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format, or have it transferred to another provider.
Right to Object
Object to our processing of your data, including for direct marketing purposes such as our newsletter.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on consent (e.g. our newsletter), withdraw that consent at any time.
Right Not to Be Discriminated Against
Exercising any of these rights will not result in reduced service or a worse experience on the Site.
Legal Basis for Processing
GDPR requires that we have a valid legal basis for each way we process your personal data. Here's how that breaks down for the Site:
| Processing Activity | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Sending newsletter emails | Consent — you opted in, and can withdraw consent anytime |
| Responding to contact form inquiries | Legitimate interest — necessary to address your request |
| Site analytics & performance monitoring | Legitimate interest — improving the Site's content and usability |
| Advertising (if/when enabled) | Consent — via cookie consent mechanism, where required |
| Legal compliance requests | Legal obligation — where required by applicable law |
How to Exercise Your Rights
To submit a request related to any of the rights above, follow these steps:
Email us directly
Send your request to hello@thedailyfintech.com with the subject line "GDPR Data Request."
Tell us which right you're exercising
Specify whether you're requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection.
Verify your identity
We may ask you to confirm the email address associated with your data, to ensure requests are legitimate before acting on them.
We respond and act on your request
We'll confirm receipt and complete your request within the timeframe outlined below.
Response Time
We aim to respond to all GDPR requests within one month of receipt, as required under Article 12 of the GDPR. If your request is complex or we've received a high volume of requests, this may be extended by a further two months — in which case, we'll notify you of the extension and the reason for it within the first month.
Data Transfers Outside the EEA
Because our team operates from India, personal data of EU/EEA visitors may be transferred outside the EEA for processing. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure an adequate level of protection is applied to your data, consistent with GDPR requirements — for example, through contractual safeguards with any third-party service providers involved.
Lodging a Complaint
If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your EU/EEA member state. We'd appreciate the chance to address your concern directly first — you can reach us using the details below.
