Who this policy covers
Rakesh Ranks is the professional brand of Rakesh Bandari, a digital marketing freelancer based in Hyderabad, India. This policy explains how information is handled when you visit rakeshranks.com, enquire about a service or communicate about a project. For privacy questions, email rakeshranks1@gmail.com.
Information you choose to share
An enquiry may include your name, email address, phone number, business name, website, service requirements and the message you send. Project discussions may include briefs, files, approvals and other information needed for the agreed work. Share only what is relevant. Do not put passwords, payment-card information or private customer records in the enquiry form.
How the WhatsApp enquiry form works
The enquiry form prepares a WhatsApp message using the details you enter. Selecting “Send details on WhatsApp” opens WhatsApp; you review the message and choose whether to send it. The current form does not submit those enquiry fields to a WordPress form database. If you send the message, it becomes part of your WhatsApp conversation with Rakesh Ranks. You can also contact me directly by phone or email.
Why information is used
Information you provide is used to respond to your enquiry, understand the work you need, prepare a quote, communicate about a project and deliver the agreed services. Relevant communications and transaction records may also be needed to manage the business, resolve questions, maintain security or meet applicable record-keeping obligations.
Website visits, cookies and embedded services
The website runs on WordPress. Hosting and security systems may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, requested pages and access times to operate and protect the site. WordPress features, including authorised administrator sign-in, may use cookies. Google Maps is embedded on location sections, and fonts are requested from Google Fonts; loading these services connects your browser to their providers. Their handling of information is explained in the Google Privacy Policy. You can control cookies through your browser, although blocking some cookies may affect website or third-party features.
Third-party communications and service providers
WhatsApp, your email provider and your phone provider process communications through their own services. Review the WhatsApp Privacy Policy when using that channel. Hosting, email and other providers needed to operate the website or deliver an agreed project may process relevant information. Links to Google reviews, LinkedIn and other external websites take you to services with their own privacy practices. This policy does not control those services.
Project access and confidential information
Account access and client files should be shared through a method agreed for the project, using the permissions needed for that work. An enquiry is not a request for unrestricted access to your accounts. Confidential project information should not be posted in public comments or reviews. Any additional confidentiality or data-handling requirements should be agreed before access is provided.
Keeping information and requesting changes
Relevant enquiry and project information is kept for the purpose for which it was received and any applicable business or legal record-keeping needs. The appropriate period depends on the information and the work involved. Email rakeshranks1@gmail.com to request access, a correction, deletion or a change to future communications. Explain which information or conversation your request concerns. Any verification requested should be proportionate; a request may need to be considered alongside records that must be retained.
Updates and privacy contact
If the website’s enquiry process, embedded services or tracking practices change, this policy will be reviewed and updated. The date shown on this page identifies its latest revision. Contact rakeshranks1@gmail.com or call +91 8919865280 with a privacy question. For the project process, read How I Work and the Service Terms.
