Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Kaleidoscope Publications ("Kaleidoscope", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit kaleidoscope365.com or contact us. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in accordance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who we are

Kaleidoscope Publications is an independent Tamil and English book publisher based in Chennai, India. For any question about this policy or your personal data, contact us at reflect@kaleidoscope365.com or +91 98409 07398.

2. What information we collect

Information you give us

When you use our rights-inquiry form or email us, your email application sends us the details you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, organisation, and the content of your message. We do not operate a database that stores form submissions on this website; inquiries reach us as ordinary email.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical data in server logs, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This is used for security, diagnostics, and to keep the site running reliably.

Cookies

This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use analytics that profile you. If we introduce analytics or other cookies in future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.

3. Third-party services

• Hosting: the site is hosted by Hostinger, which processes server-log data on our behalf to deliver the website.
• Google Fonts: our pages load typefaces from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address in order to serve the fonts. Please see Google's privacy policy for how Google handles this data.
• Downloads: our rights catalogue is served as a PDF directly from this website.

4. How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiries about publishing, translation, and international rights;
• To communicate with you about titles, agreements, and related business matters you have contacted us about;
• To operate, secure, and improve the website.

Under the DPDP Act, our lawful basis is the legitimate purpose of responding to a request you have voluntarily initiated. Under GDPR, we rely on your consent and/or our legitimate interests in conducting our publishing business.

5. How long we keep it

We retain business correspondence only for as long as needed to serve the purpose it was provided for and to meet legal, accounting, or contractual obligations, after which it is deleted or archived securely.

6. How we protect your data

The website is served over encrypted HTTPS connections. We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to seek correction or erasure, to withdraw consent, to nominate another person to exercise your rights (as provided under the DPDP Act), and to lodge a grievance. To exercise any of these, email us at reflect@kaleidoscope365.com and we will respond within a reasonable period.

8. Children's privacy

Although many of our books are for young readers, this website is intended for publishing and rights professionals and general adult visitors. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
