At Scufd Studio Pvt. Ltd., we operate The Podcast Program with a strong commitment to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and secure your personal data. We believe in transparency and want you to understand the reasons behind our practices so that you can make informed decisions when using our services.
To provide a high-quality and personalized experience, we collect several types of information. The data we gather helps us improve our services and ensures that we can respond effectively to your needs.
We collect personal information such as your full name, phone number, and email address. This information is essential for creating and managing your account, verifying your identity, and communicating important updates. Without this information, we would not be able to offer you a customized experience or provide customer support.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect data using cookies and tracking technologies. This includes details like your IP address, browser type, operating system, and how you interact with our site. We do this to understand user behavior, optimize website performance, and deliver a better browsing experience. These insights allow us to continuously improve our site functionality and content.
Our data collection methods include:
- Direct Collection: Data you provide when creating an account or filling out forms, which helps us tailor our services to your needs.
- Third-Party Tools: We integrate services such as Calendly for call booking/scheduling and the Instagram API for social media interactions. These tools assist us in offering a seamless user experience.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: These allow us to track user engagement, helping us improve our marketing strategies and website performance.
We use your information to deliver a personalized and secure experience. Every piece of data is used with a purpose, ensuring that you receive a service that is both functional and tailored to your preferences.
The information you provide enables us to create and manage your account and provide you with a smooth experience. We use your data to verify your identity, resolve issues, and implement new features that enhance usability. Our goal is to continuously improve the quality of our services by learning from how you use our platform.
We analyze user behavior to better understand your interests and needs. This helps us tailor the content and promotions we display. Although we currently do not send marketing emails or newsletters, we might offer and even sell these in the future. When that happens, we will update this policy and, if needed, seek your explicit consent. This approach ensures that any marketing communications are both relevant and respectful of your privacy.
We use your information to protect our users and maintain the integrity of our platform. This includes monitoring for fraudulent activity and ensuring that our systems are secure. Additionally, we adhere to legal requirements and industry standards, which is why we sometimes need to process and store your data.
While we are dedicated to protecting your personal information, there are circumstances where data sharing is necessary. This helps us offer integrated services and improve your overall experience.
To maintain and enhance our services, we share your data with trusted third-party providers. These include:
- Marketing & Analytics: Tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel help us analyze user behavior and tailor our offerings.
- Call Booking & Scheduling: Services like Calendly allow us to manage appointments effectively.
- Social Media Integrations: The Instagram API helps us connect with you on social media platforms.
Some of our trusted partners may process or store your data on servers located outside of India. These international transfers are performed in compliance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that your data is protected no matter where it is processed.
Cookies and tracking technologies play a vital role in our ability to deliver a personalized experience. They help us understand how users interact with our website, allowing us to improve our service and provide content that matches your interests.
We use different types of cookies to support various functions on our website:
- Essential Cookies: These are crucial for the operation of our website and ensure that it functions correctly.
- Analytics Cookies: They help us collect data about user behavior, which is vital for optimizing website performance.
- Advertising Pixels: These assist in delivering targeted advertisements based on your interactions with our site.
At this time, we do not offer an opt-out option for cookies within our service. We use cookies to enhance your user experience, and if you choose not to accept them, you may consider discontinuing the use of our services.
We retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to serve the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. The retention period is determined by both operational needs and legal obligations.
- Deletion Requests: You can request the deletion of your data at any time (see Section 6 for details).
- Indefinite Retention: In the absence of a deletion request, your data may be stored indefinitely to ensure that we can continue to improve our services over time.
