What I collect. Why. What I never do with it.

This page tells you, in plain language, what information Nirvedha Executive Coaching Solutions collects when you visit nirvedha.com or apply for coaching, why it is collected, where it is stored, and what is never done with it. The First Discipline — the confidentiality discipline that governs the coaching room — applies before an engagement begins, while it runs, and after it ends.

What this site collects

The website nirvedha.com is a static-HTML site. It runs no analytics, sets no cookies, embeds no third-party trackers, and does not log visitor IP addresses or device fingerprints. You can read every page on this site without identifying yourself in any way.

The single point at which information is collected is the application form on the contact page. When you submit that form, the following fields are sent — by your browser's email client, via mailto: — directly to sudhakar@nirvedha.com:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your current role and industry
• A seniority indicator
• The reason you wrote — your *why now*
• How you heard about Nirvedha (optional)

That is the entire set. No other personal data is collected anywhere on this site.

Why I collect it

The form exists so I can read your application personally and decide whether the chemistry conversation makes sense. I read every application; I reply within seventy-two hours. The information you send is used to understand your situation, decide on fit, and respond to you. Nothing else.

Where it is stored

Form submissions arrive in my email inbox at sudhakar@nirvedha.com. They are stored there for the duration described below. They are not loaded into any CRM, marketing platform, lead-scoring system, or third-party automation.

What I never do

• I never sell your information to anyone
• I never share your information with third parties for marketing or any commercial purpose
• I never name any client — current, former, or applied — on this site, in pitch decks, in published writing, or in conversation outside the coaching room
• I never publish testimonials with identifying details unless the client has consented in writing and asked to be visible
• I never add applicants to mailing lists, newsletters, or marketing automations

How long I keep your application

If we proceed to a chemistry conversation and an engagement begins, your application becomes part of your engagement record and is retained for the duration of the engagement plus seven years (the standard period for professional records under Indian law). If we do not proceed, your application is retained for twelve months in the event that you wish to re-apply or refer the work to a peer, and is then deleted from my inbox.

You can request earlier deletion at any time by writing to sudhakar@nirvedha.com with the subject line "delete my application". The deletion is performed within seven business days and confirmed by reply.

Your rights under Indian law

This site is operated from Hyderabad, India. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP) gives you the following rights, all of which I honour by reply email within seven business days of a written request:

• The right to access the data I hold about you
• The right to correct any inaccuracy in that data
• The right to delete the data, subject to the retention rules above
• The right to nominate someone else to exercise these rights on your behalf
• The right to a grievance procedure if you believe these rights have been infringed

Exercise any of these rights by writing to sudhakar@nirvedha.com. I respond personally — there is no support ticket queue.

Children's data

Nirvedha coaching is for senior corporate leaders. The website is not directed at minors and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under eighteen. If you are under eighteen, please do not submit the application form.

Changes to this notice

If this notice is updated — for example, if I add an analytics tool or change the form mechanics — the updated version will appear here with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page for thirty days.
