Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Bricks & Inches is published by DailyHawker®, with its registered office in Delhi (“we”, “us”). We decide how and why your personal data is processed, which makes us the data fiduciary under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

2. What we collect

• Details you give us: your full name and email address when you subscribe, and anything you include when you write to us.
• Email engagement: whether an edition was delivered, opened or clicked, as recorded by our email provider.
• Website data: basic technical information such as IP address, browser, device and pages visited, collected by our hosting and analytics provider.

3. How we use it

• To send you the Weekly Brief and service emails, such as confirming your subscription.
• To address you by name and understand, in aggregate, which parts of the Brief readers find useful.
• To reply to your questions and keep the service secure and free of abuse.
• To meet our legal obligations.

We process your data on the basis of the consent you give when you subscribe, or where the law otherwise permits.

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the Brief, under contracts that limit their use of it to our instructions. We may disclose data where the law requires us to.

Some providers may store data outside India. Where they do, we rely on transfers the Government of India permits.

5. How long we keep it

We keep your details while you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe, we delete them within 24 hrs, except for a minimal record of your email address so we do not contact you again.

• tell you what personal data we hold about you and how we use it;
• correct, complete or update it;
• erase it;
• stop using it, by withdrawing consent through the unsubscribe link in any edition;
• nominate someone to exercise these rights on your behalf.

Write to contact@bricksandinches.com and we will respond within 24 hrs.

7. Cookies

The website uses only the cookies it needs to work, which you can decline.

8. Children

The Brief is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, and we will notify you and the authorities of a breach where the law requires it.
