Effective Date: June 26, 2026

Last Updated: June 26, 2026

At Vegan Digital (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://vegandigital.net or engage with our digital marketing agency services.

By accessing our website, you agree to the information practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two distinct categories of information:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

• Identity Data: First name, last name.
• Contact Data: Email address, phone number.
• Communications Data: Information you provide when filling out contact forms, booking agency consultations, or leaving public comments on our blog.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, operating system, and device type.
• Usage Data: Information about how you navigate our website (pages viewed, time spent on pages, clickstream data, and referring URLs).

2. How We Use Your Data

We process your personal data for the following legitimate business purposes:

• To provide agency services: Responding to inquiries, assessing digital marketing needs, and fulfilling client contracts.
• To send marketing communications: Delivering our email newsletter and agency updates via Mailchimp (only where you have opted in or where an established business relationship exists).
• To serve behavioral advertising: Delivering targeted digital advertisements to you across third-party platforms based on your browsing history on our site.
• To optimize our website: Using Google Analytics to analyze web traffic, improve user experience, and guide blog content creation.
• To maintain site security: Detecting, preventing, and responding to spam, technical issues, or fraudulent activity.

3. Lawful Bases for Processing (EEA / UK Users)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires us to establish a lawful basis for processing your data:

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data for monetary gain. However, under certain U.S. state laws (including California’s CCPA/CPRA), sharing tracking data with third-party networks for behavioral advertising is legally classified as a “sale” or “share.”

We disclose your data to the following trusted third-party service providers:

• WordPress: Our Website Content Management System (CMS) and hosting infrastructure.
• Google Analytics: To capture aggregated web traffic and site behavior.
• Mailchimp: To secure our subscriber database and execute email campaigns.

These third parties are contractually prohibited from using your personal data for any reason other than providing their specialized service to Vegan Digital.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and pixels to automatically collect data:

• Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary for the site to function (e.g., security tokens, comment form memory).
• Analytics Cookies: Placed by Google Analytics to help us understand routing and page performance.
• Marketing Cookies: Used to track your digital footprint across different websites to serve you relevant advertisements.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies. To opt out of Google’s personalized advertising network specifically, visit the Google Ad Settings dashboard.

6. International Data Transfers

Vegan Digital is physically headquartered and operated in India. If you are accessing our website from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in India, as well as on the United States-based servers of our primary sub-processors (Google, Mailchimp).

Where data is transferred out of the EEA, we rely on legally recognized transfer mechanisms—specifically Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission—to ensure your data retains its statutory protections.
