Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Scale & Story ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit scaleandstory.co.in (the "Website"). By using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Who we are
Scale & Story is a brand strategy, marketing, and technology practice operated by Vimal Singh Panwar, based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. You can contact us at vimal@scaleandstory.co.in or +91-9001382789.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide voluntarily
When you contact us by email, phone, or WhatsApp, we receive the information you choose to share — typically your name, contact details, and details about your business or enquiry. We use this information solely to respond to you and, where relevant, to discuss potential work together.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the Website and the third-party services it uses may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, and the dates and times of visits. This information is used in aggregate to understand how the Website is used and to improve it.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. The Website uses, or may in future use, cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: remembering preferences (for example, whether you have already seen our homepage animation, which is stored locally in your browser's session storage), measuring website traffic through analytics services, and serving advertising through third-party advertising partners.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Website function.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense and other networks)
We may display advertisements on the Website served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies — including the Google advertising cookie — and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve personalised ads based on your visits to this and/or other websites.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
Third-party ad networks operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the data practices of these networks.
5. Affiliate disclosure
Some links on the Website — particularly in blog articles — may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click the link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products and services we believe provide genuine value. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial opinions.
6. Analytics
We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Cloudflare Web Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Website. These services collect information such as pages visited, time spent, approximate location (city/country level), and device information. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. Where Google Analytics is used, you can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
7. How we use information
We use the information described above to operate and improve the Website, respond to enquiries, understand what content is useful to readers, display advertising that supports the free content on this Website, and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
8. Data sharing
We do not share your personal information with third parties, except: with service providers that make the Website work (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners, as described above); where required by law, regulation, or legal process; or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Scale & Story or others.
9. Data retention and security
Enquiry emails and messages are retained only as long as needed for correspondence and business records. We take reasonable technical measures to protect information, but no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your rights
Subject to applicable law — including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at vimal@scaleandstory.co.in. If you are located in a jurisdiction with additional privacy rights (such as the EU/EEA or California), you may have further rights under local law.
11. Children's privacy
The Website is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
12. Third-party links
The Website contains links to external websites (including social media profiles and sites we recommend in articles). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
