What we collect
In this policy, “ShresthaGlobal”, “we” and “us” mean the business, registered in Faridabad, Haryana, India, that runs this website. The information we hold depends on how you use it.
If you only browse and use the tools
The destination, salary and household you enter are held in your browser’s session storage so the tools can follow you from page to page. They are cleared when you close the tab, and they are not sent to our servers. Like any website, our hosting provider receives technical information needed to deliver pages and keep the site secure, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time.
If you create an account
- Sign-in details: your first name, optional last name and email address. If you use Google, we receive your name and email from Google. We never see or store a password, because there are none.
- About you (optional): phone number, city, country of residence and countries of citizenship.
- Your move (optional): what you would like to do, when you might move, places you are considering, who would come with you, your employment status, job title, industry, experience and education.
- Your household, only as needed to calculate your scenarios (optional): the number of people moving, the industry or type of job a partner or other family member has, and the age of each child so we can work out which school level or childcare applies. We never ask for the name of a child or of any other family member.
- Your costs (optional): everyday spending you choose to enter, such as food, transport and housing, so that comparisons use your real numbers.
- Preferences (optional): language, time zone, currency, units, and whether you are happy to receive product updates.
- Documents and photo (optional): files you upload to your private Documents area, and a profile photo. Documents are private to your account. A profile photo can be viewed by anyone who has its link, so choose one you are comfortable sharing.
- Security data: the sign-in sessions that keep you signed in.
If you write to us
When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, the topic, your message and the page you wrote from. If you email us at hello@ShresthaGlobal.co, we receive your address and whatever you choose to send. Please do not send passport numbers, tax identifiers or other sensitive documents by form or by email.
If you subscribe to the newsletter
We store your email address, the time you subscribed and where on the site you signed up.
How we use it
- To run your account: sign you in, show your profile and keep your documents.
- To reply to your messages and support requests.
- To send the newsletter, only if you subscribed or opted in on your account.
- To keep the site secure, prevent abuse and fix problems.
- To meet legal obligations and to protect our rights if we have to.
Where the law asks for a legal basis, we rely on: providing the service you asked for (your account), your consent (the newsletter and product updates, which you can withdraw at any time), our legitimate interest in running a secure service and answering people who contact us, and legal obligations.
We do not make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects. The figures in our tools are estimates you can inspect, not decisions about you.
Where it is stored
ShresthaGlobal is run by a business registered in Faridabad, Haryana, India. For now, our database is hosted on servers in the United States, and files you upload are stored with Cloudflare. Pages are delivered through a global network, so a request can pass through servers close to you.
Our team is based in India, so people there can reach the information we hold when it is needed to run the service and answer you. By using ShresthaGlobal you accept that your information is stored in the United States and handled by our team in India. We may change our hosting providers and server locations whenever we see fit, including moving to servers in another country. If we do, we will update this page and, where the law requires, tell you.
How long we keep it
- Account details and documents: for as long as your account is open. You can delete documents yourself at any time.
- If you ask us to close your account, we delete your profile, documents and photo within 30 days, apart from anything we must keep by law. Copies in backups are removed as the backups expire.
- Contact messages: for as long as we need to deal with your request, and then for up to 24 months in case you write again about the same thing.
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe. We then keep a record that you opted out so we do not email you again.
- Technical logs held by our hosting provider: for a short period, as set by that provider.
Your choices and rights
You decide what to share, and you can change your mind.
- See and correct your details. Everything in your profile is editable in your account.
- Download your data. “Your data” in your account’s privacy section gives you a copy as a file.
- Delete your documents and photo from your account at any time.
- Sign out everywhere if you used a shared or lost device.
- Unsubscribe using the link in any newsletter, or by telling us.
- Close your account or ask a question about your data. Email hello@ShresthaGlobal.co and we will reply within 30 days.
Depending on where you live, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or California, you may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, to ask for your information in a portable format, and to complain to your local data protection authority. In India, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 gives you rights to access, correct and erase your data, to withdraw consent and to have a grievance heard. We will honor those rights wherever they apply to you.
How we protect it
Connections to the site are encrypted. Account data sits behind access rules that let each person reach only their own records, documents are stored privately and only served after we check who is asking, and sign-in uses one-time codes or Google instead of passwords. Access by our team is limited to people who need it to run the service.
We use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards, and we keep the amount of information we ask for small. But we host your information with third-party providers, and no system, including theirs, is completely secure. You use the site, and decide what to share, at your own risk. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for unauthorized access, loss or disclosure caused by our providers, by events outside our reasonable control, or by someone getting into your email or Google account.
If a breach affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
Children
ShresthaGlobal is for adults planning a move. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. When you tell us about your household, an adult gives us the details needed to calculate a scenario, such as how many children are moving and each child’s age, so we can work out the school level or childcare that applies. We never ask for the name of a child or of any other family member, and we do not ask for children’s documents. If you believe a child has given us personal information directly, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the date at the top. For changes that matter to you, such as a new purpose for your data, we will also tell you by email or in your account before they take effect.
Contact us
Questions about this policy or your information? Email hello@ShresthaGlobal.co, or use the contact form and choose “Privacy or my data”. Both reach the same inbox, and we read every message.
Grievances. If you have a complaint about how we handle your information, write to the same address with “Grievance” in the subject line. We will acknowledge it and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
