Investmentmirror.com collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data. By using the Website you acknowledge this Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website.

1. Scope and applicable laws

This Policy applies to all visitors, subscribers and users of the Website and its related newsletters, forms and tools. We process personal data in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the SPDI Rules, 2011; the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India) as it comes into force; and, where applicable to you, the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

2. Information we collect

  • Information you give us: name, email address, phone number, and the content of messages, comments, surveys or newsletter sign-ups.
  • Information collected automatically: IP address, device and browser type, operating system, language, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent, and approximate location derived from IP.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see Section 5.
  • Third-party information: analytics, advertising and email service providers may give us aggregated or pseudonymised data.

We do not ask for bank account numbers, card details, PAN, Aadhaar, demat credentials, passwords or trading login details. Please never send them to us. We do not execute trades or hold customer funds.

3. How we use your information

  • To operate, secure, maintain and improve the Website and its content.
  • To respond to enquiries, grievances and support requests.
  • To send newsletters or updates you have opted in to (you can unsubscribe at any time).
  • To measure audience, analyse usage and personalise content.
  • To show advertising and sponsored content, where enabled.
  • To detect fraud, abuse and security incidents, and to enforce our terms.
  • To meet legal, regulatory and tax obligations and to establish or defend legal claims.

4. Legal basis and consent

We process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example newsletter sign-up and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (security, analytics, service improvement), performance of a request you make, and legal obligation. You may withdraw consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect processing done before it. Where the DPDP Act applies, we rely on consent or the “legitimate uses” it permits.

5. Cookies, analytics and advertising

We use essential cookies for core functionality, and, subject to your choices, analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) and advertising cookies (such as Google AdSense or similar networks). Third parties may collect data through these technologies under their own privacy policies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, opt out of Google Analytics through Google’s browser add-on, and manage ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com. Blocking some cookies may reduce functionality. We do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals except where required by law.

6. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:

  • Service providers acting on our instructions (hosting, analytics, email delivery, security, customer support) bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
  • Advertising and analytics partners, as described in Section 5.
  • Courts, regulators, law enforcement or other authorities when legally required, or to protect our rights, users or the public.
  • A successor in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, with notice to you where required.

7. International transfers

Our providers may process data on servers outside your country, including outside India. Where required, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent contractual protections, and we transfer data only to countries not restricted by the Government of India.

8. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Typically: enquiries for up to 24 months after closure; newsletter data until you unsubscribe; server logs for up to 12 months; and records needed for legal, tax or dispute purposes for the period the law requires. Data is then deleted or anonymised.

9. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including HTTPS encryption, access controls and vendor due diligence. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a personal data breach affects you, we will notify you and the relevant authority as required by law.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: access a summary of your data; correct or update it; erase it; withdraw consent; nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become incapacitated (DPDP Act); object to or restrict processing; receive your data in a portable format (GDPR); opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights (CCPA/CPRA); and lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India or your local supervisory authority. To exercise any right, email contact@investmentmirror.com. We may verify your identity first and will respond within the time required by law (generally within 30 days).
