Who is responsible
Rohit Rathore runs this website and decides how the personal information it collects is used. For any question or request about your information, use the Contact page.
The ventures linked from this site, such as Dunes Academy and Goat India, have their own websites and their own privacy policies. This policy covers rohitrathore.com only.
Information you give us
Contact form. The form asks for your name, email address, the topic of your enquiry and your message. We use these to read and answer your enquiry and to handle any follow-up you ask for. Each enquiry is saved in the website’s database and sent by email to a mailbox at rohitrathore.com. With each enquiry the form also records your IP address and browser details, which help us spot spam and misuse. The form uses built-in spam protection and does not send your details to a third-party spam service.
Comments. To comment on an article you give your name and email address, and you may add a website. Your name, website and comment are shown publicly; your email address is not. WordPress also records your IP address and browser details with the comment to help detect spam. A first comment from a new commenter is held for approval before it appears.
Please do not send passwords, payment details, identity documents or private information about other people through the form or comments.
Information collected automatically
Analytics. If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit, which pages they read and how they found the site. Google Analytics then sets cookies and receives information such as the pages you view, your approximate location, your device and browser, and how you arrived. We use this only to improve the site, not to identify you or to show you advertising. If you decline, Google Analytics does not run.
Server and security logs. Like any website, our hosting and security systems record technical details such as IP addresses, requested pages, browser information and times of access. The site also logs requests for pages that do not exist, so broken links can be fixed.
Cookies
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Google Analytics only runs if you choose Accept. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
The site uses a small number of cookies:
- Your cookie choice (rr_consent), which remembers whether you accepted or declined, for 180 days.
- Google Analytics cookies (names starting with _ga), only if you accept. They count and help us understand visits.
- Comment cookies, only if you tick the box to save your name and email for your next comment. They last up to a year.
- WordPress login cookies, used only by people who manage the site.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Declining analytics cookies does not affect how the site works.
Content from other services
Google Maps. The Contact page shows a Google map. When that page loads, your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address and may set its own cookies. Google’s privacy policy applies to that service.
Gravatar. Comments show profile pictures from Gravatar, a service run by Automattic. A coded version of a commenter’s email address is sent to Gravatar to check for a picture. Gravatar’s privacy policy applies.
Links. Links to social networks, venture websites and other sites take you to services with their own privacy practices.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the services that run the website for us:
- Hostinger, which hosts the website and its email.
- Google, for Google Analytics, Google Maps and storage of website backups on Google Drive.
- Automattic, for Gravatar profile pictures on comments.
Some of these providers may process information outside India. We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect the site and its visitors from fraud or abuse.
How long we keep information
- Enquiries are kept for up to two years after our last contact with you, then deleted, unless we need them longer to deal with a matter you raised or to meet a legal obligation.
- Comments and the details stored with them are kept for as long as the comment stays on the site. Comments marked as spam are deleted.
- Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in Google Analytics.
- Backups of the website are kept until they are replaced by newer backups. Our hosting provider may also keep its own backups for a limited time.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you and how we use it;
- correct, complete or update it;
- delete it, where we no longer need it;
- stop using it where you gave consent, by withdrawing that consent.
Send your request through the Contact page and include enough detail for us to find your enquiry or comment. Please do not send identity documents unless we ask for them. We aim to reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Children
This website is not meant for children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. For school admissions or student matters, please contact Dunes Academy directly and do not send a child’s details through this site.
Security
The site uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and access to its administration is limited to the people who manage it. No website can be completely secure, so please do not send sensitive information through it.

We will update this policy when the way we handle information changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
