Data Protection Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

Dial N Fashion (www.dialnfashion.com) is read all over the world. This Data Protection Policy explains how we handle personal data and the rights every reader has, wherever they live. It then adds what applies in specific regions, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), and US state privacy laws such as California’s CCPA/CPRA. It adds detail to our Privacy Policy, which covers cookies, advertising and analytics.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Your personal data is controlled by Afojet Infotech, the operator of Dial N Fashion. Under the GDPR we are the “controller”; under the DPDP Act we are the “Data Fiduciary”.

• Address: Sentosa Heights, Opp. Ambevelly Arcade, Utran Sayan Road, Surat – 394101, Gujarat, India
• Email: info@afojet.com (subject: “Data request”)
• Phone: +91 94094 50840

2. Our promises to every reader

• We collect only what we need, and we tell you why before we collect it.
• We never sell your personal data.
• Newsletter emails are sent only if you tick the consent box and confirm your email address with the code we send you.
• You can see, correct or delete your data, and withdraw consent, at any time — whatever country you live in.
• We keep data only as long as described below, and we protect it with reasonable security.

3. Personal data we collect and why

Where	Data	Why we use it	Legal basis
Newsletter	Email address, name (optional), IP address, date and time of consent, email verification code	To confirm the email address is yours and send our fashion newsletter	Your consent
Comments	Name, email address, comment, IP address, browser details, email verification code	To publish your comment, verify your email and stop spam	Your consent; our legitimate interest in preventing spam
Contact form and emails	Name, email address, subject, message, IP address	To reply to you	Your request to us; our legitimate interest in answering it
Using the Website	IP address, browser and device details, pages visited, server logs	To deliver the Website, keep it secure and fix errors	Our legitimate interest; legal obligations
Analytics	Cookie identifiers, pages viewed, approximate location, device details	To understand which articles are useful (Google Analytics)	Your consent where the law requires it
Advertising	Cookie and advertising identifiers, IP address, device details	To show ads (Google AdSense); personalised ads only where you allow them	Your consent where the law requires it

We do not make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive data (such as health, religion or biometric data).

4. Consent and how to withdraw it

Where we rely on consent, we ask for it clearly and separately — for example, the newsletter consent box and, in regions that require it, the cookie consent message. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it:

• Newsletter: click Unsubscribe in any email, or email info@afojet.com.
• Comments: email us and we will remove your comment and data.
• Cookies: change your choice in the consent message (where shown) or your browser settings, and manage Google ads at Google Ad Settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did lawfully before.

5. Who receives your data

We share personal data only with service providers that help us run the Website, under terms that require them to protect it:

• Web hosting — stores the Website, its database and server logs.
• Email — Google (Gmail) sends verification codes and replies; our newsletter is sent with the Sendy email platform through our email delivery provider.
• Google — Google Analytics and Google AdSense. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
• Authorities — only when the law requires it.

6. International transfers

We are based in India, and our service providers may process data in India, the United States and other countries. Wherever your data goes, we expect the same level of protection. For transfers out of the EEA/UK we rely on safeguards recognised by the GDPR, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses used by our providers or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where a provider is certified. Transfers from India follow the DPDP Act and any restrictions notified by the Government of India.

7. How long we keep data

• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe; afterwards we keep only a record that you unsubscribed, so we respect your choice.
• Verification codes: expire after 10 minutes and are deleted within a day.
• Comments: while the comment is published; spam and rejected comments are deleted.
• Contact messages: up to 24 months after our last reply.
• Server logs: up to 90 days, unless needed to investigate a security issue.
• Analytics: up to 14 months in Google Analytics.

8. Your rights (all readers)

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• Access — tell you what personal data we hold about you and give you a copy;
• Correct — fix inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Delete — erase your data, unless we must keep it by law;
• Withdraw consent or object to how we use your data, including for direct marketing;
• Restrict how we use your data, or give it to you in a portable format;
• Nominate someone to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to (as the DPDP Act allows).

Email info@afojet.com with the subject “Data request”. We may ask you to confirm your identity. We reply within 30 days at the latest (or sooner where local law requires), and it is free of charge. We will never treat you differently for using your rights.

9. Region-specific information

10. Security

We protect data with HTTPS encryption, access limited to authorised people, two-step sign-in (password plus email code) for our admin area, hashed passwords and verification codes, and regular updates. No system is completely secure; if a data breach is likely to affect you, we will inform you and the relevant authorities as the law requires — including the Data Protection Board of India and, for EU/UK readers, the competent supervisory authority.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The “Last updated” date shows the current version. If a change significantly affects how we use data you gave us with consent, we will ask for your consent again where required.
