Privacy Notice & Inquiry Data Handling
This notice outlines how personal and technical inquiry details are collected, stored, and processed when you submit an inquiry on harvindersingh.in or engage in technical advisory correspondence with Harvinder Singh.
Core Principles
1. Data Controller & Scope
The data controller for this website is Harvinder Singh (Systems Architect, New Delhi, India). This notice applies exclusively to information submitted through the web ingress form at /api/contact or direct electronic mail sent to contact@harvindersingh.in.
2. Information Collected & Purpose of Processing
When you initiate a technical inquiry or briefing request, the following information is processed:
- Contact Identifiers: Name and work email address, utilized solely to respond to your technical scope.
- Inquiry Details: Topic selection (e.g. Fractional CTO, Architecture Audit, MVP Build), engagement mode, preferred meeting window, and problem description.
- Contextual Telemetry: Detected timezone (to coordinate call availability without scheduling conflicts), submission timestamp, and high-level campaign attribution tags (UTM parameters) if present.
Legal Basis: Information is processed under legitimate interest for responding to commercial B2B inquiries and preparing pre-contractual technical proposals. Marketing emails are never sent without explicit separate opt-in consent.
3. What NOT to Submit (Sensitive Data Policy)
If your technical review requires evaluating confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, or regulated data systems, Harvinder will execute a formal bilateral mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with your legal entity before any proprietary documents or codebases are shared.
4. Meeting Requests vs. Confirmed Bookings
Submitting a 15-minute briefing request queues a prospective agenda for review. A web submission is a meeting request received, not an instantaneous calendar reservation. Harvinder personally reviews every agenda to confirm technical fit and avoid advisory conflicts. If aligned, a formal Google Meet calendar invitation with an agenda breakdown is dispatched to your work email.
5. Storage Infrastructure & Data Retention
Inquiries are atomically committed to Cloudflare D1 encrypted SQL databases with SHA-256 payload hashing and transactional outbox queues. Email notifications are dispatched via transactional email providers (Resend API) over TLS 1.3.
Records are retained for the duration of the commercial scoping evaluation and client engagement relationship. If an engagement does not materialize, records are securely archived and subject to periodic purges.
6. Your Rights & Data Deletion
You retain the right to request access to your submitted inquiry records, request corrections, or demand immediate and permanent deletion of your contact data from the Cloudflare D1 ingress ledger.
To exercise any privacy rights or request data erasure, simply email contact@harvindersingh.in with your name and email address. Deletion requests are processed within 48 business hours.
