Privacy Policy & Data Sovereignty

This Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal data and project materials by SOUDIV Technologies (“SOUDIV”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operating as the data controller for information collected through our official website (soudiv.com), client consultations, and commercial engagements.

SOUDIV engineers modern web applications, mobile platforms, automated AI workflows, DevOps infrastructure, and develops the NIRIKSH Linux server control plane. We adhere to global data protection benchmarks, including the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act).

We collect information strictly necessary to provide engineering services, respond to inquiries, and maintain reliable infrastructure:

Under European (GDPR Art. 6) and global privacy standards, we only process personal data where a recognized lawful basis exists:

SOUDIV upholds a lean, privacy-first technical footprint. We do NOT use invasive advertising cookies or third-party behavioral profiling mechanisms.

You can clear or inspect your browser's local storage at any time via your browser's Developer Tools or Privacy Settings without impacting your ability to browse our services.

No Sale of Personal Data: SOUDIV has never sold, rented, leased, or monetized any personal information or client intelligence to third parties, and we maintain a strict perpetual pledge never to do so.

We share data solely with vetted enterprise infrastructure providers bound by statutory Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and confidentiality terms:

We may disclose information if required to do so by a valid subpoena, court order, or applicable national security regulation, providing prompt notice to affected clients where legally permissible.

We implement defence-in-depth security engineering designed to protect systems from unauthorized interception, modification, or exposure:

We adhere to data minimization principles and retain data only for periods justified by legitimate commercial or statutory requirements:

• Prospective Inquiries: Contact form submissions that do not mature into commercial engagements are automatically purged within 18 months of last communication.
• Active Client Engagements: Commercial project records, delivery manifests, and correspondence are retained for the duration of the engagement plus 7 years to satisfy statutory tax, accounting, and legal audit requirements.
• Network Edge Logs: Ephemeral server access logs cycle on rolling 30-to-90-day retention policies before cryptographic destruction.

Depending on your geographic jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, India DPDP Act), you possess enforceable statutory rights regarding your personal data:

Global Engineering Delivery: SOUDIV operates globally. Where cross-border data transfers occur, we implement European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and rigorous technical safeguards to ensure an equivalent level of protection regardless of physical geographic territory.

Protection of Minors: SOUDIV platforms, services, and software are exclusively directed toward corporate organizations, professionals, and developers aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly solicit or collect data from individuals under the age of 18. If we discover inadvertent receipt of minor data, we purge it immediately.

We review and update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect engineering enhancements, evolving product capabilities, and statutory updates. Material changes will be reflected via an updated effective date at the top of this document. Continued engagement with our services after revisions constitutes acknowledgment of the updated terms.
