Sasikumar Talks — Digital Marketing Academy respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1. Information we collect

a) Information you give us voluntarily

Contact form: your name, email address, subject and message.
Mentorship / training / course-interest / corporate enquiry forms: your name, email address, phone number, company details (for corporate enquiries), and the message or expectations you write.

We use this information only to respond to you, provide the services you asked about, and follow up on your enquiry. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties.

b) Information collected automatically

Server logs: like most websites, our hosting server may record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, date/time, and the referring page. This is used for security, debugging and aggregate statistics.
Usage events: we count anonymous interactions (for example, how many visitors click a pricing button or run the free site audit) to understand interest in our services. These counts are not tied to your identity.
Free site audit tool: if you enter a website URL, our server fetches that public URL to analyse it. The URL may be recorded in our usage statistics.

c) Data stored on your device (localStorage)

To make learning features work, this website stores small pieces of data in your own browser (not on our servers): your quiz scores and class progress, your checklist ticks, your preferred font size, and your chat session ID. You can clear these anytime by clearing your browser data.
