This Privacy Policy applies to viveks.co ("this website"), operated by Dr. Vivek S., an independent executive coaching, training, and psychotherapy practice, in connection with Purclive India Pvt. Ltd. For the purposes of the DPDP Act, Dr. Vivek S. is the Data Fiduciary for personal data collected through this website, and you (the visitor, enquirer, or client) are the Data Principal.
By using this website, submitting a form, or otherwise sharing your personal data with us, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not submit your personal data through this website.
We only collect personal data that you choose to share with us, through the forms and tools on this website. We do not buy, rent, or scrape personal data from third parties.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, government identifiers, health records, or biometric data through this website. If you choose to disclose such information in a free-text message field, it is used solely to respond to your specific enquiry and is not further processed or shared.
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. The Leadership Diagnostic's AI-generated reflection is descriptive and educational; it is not a clinical, psychological, or diagnostic assessment.
We process your personal data on the basis of your consent, given when you voluntarily submit a form on this website. You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to us at the email address in Section 8, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal. Withdrawing consent may mean we are unable to respond to an open enquiry or deliver a requested resource.
We use a small number of trusted service providers ("processors") to operate this website and deliver the services you request. We do not sell your personal data.
Where your personal data is transferred outside India, we take reasonable steps to ensure it continues to be handled in line with this policy and applicable law. We do not permit any processor to use your data for its own independent purposes.
We retain personal data collected through this website only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected: typically, for the duration of our conversation or engagement with you, plus a limited period afterward for record-keeping and legal compliance. Leadership Diagnostic responses and AI-generated reports are retained only long enough to deliver your report by email and are not used to build a permanent profile. You may request earlier deletion at any time (see Section 7).
Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:
Grievance Officer: Dr. Vivek S.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India, constituted under the DPDP Act.
This website uses cookies from Google Analytics to understand aggregate visitor behaviour (pages viewed, time on site, general location, device type). These cookies do not identify you by name. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so will not affect your ability to browse this website, though some analytics-dependent features may be limited.
This website and its services are intended for working professionals and organisations. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, please contact us using the details in Section 8 and we will delete it.
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), restricted access to enquiry data, and reputable third-party processors, to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
