Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Mediate.co.in handles personal information when you browse the website, submit the contact form, or communicate with us. Mediate.co.in is an independent information resource about alternative dispute resolution in India. It is not a court, tribunal, mediation institution, government authority, or legal-advice service.

Information you provide

If you use the contact form, we may receive your name, email address, optional phone number, selected dispute category, and the message you submit. Please do not send identity documents, financial records, privileged communications, medical records, or other sensitive material through the general contact form unless we specifically ask for it through an appropriate secure channel.

We use submitted information to read and respond to your enquiry, correct website content, maintain correspondence, and protect the website against misuse. Submitting a message does not create a lawyer-client relationship, mediator-client relationship, or confidential professional engagement.

Consent preferences and cookies

The website may store a consent preference in your browser so that it remembers whether you accepted or declined optional analytics. Essential storage used for security, accessibility, or core website operation does not depend on advertising consent. We do not currently use the website to sell personal data or serve behavioural advertising.

Analytics

The site is configured to load Plausible Analytics only after you accept optional analytics. Plausible may receive information such as the page visited, referral source, and limited browser or device information used to produce aggregate traffic statistics. Optional analytics do not load when you decline. The policy will be updated if the analytics provider or configuration materially changes.

Server and security logs

The hosting provider and technical infrastructure may record routine server logs, including IP address, request time, requested URL, browser or device information, and error or security events. These logs are used to operate, secure, diagnose, and improve the website.

External services and links

The website links to statutes, institutions, government sources, and other external websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. The contact form sends submissions through a server-side route to the site's configured SMTP and email service for delivery to info@mediate.co.in. The intended production configuration uses Hostinger-hosted email infrastructure.

Retention

We retain contact information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain records of enquiries and corrections, to secure the site, or to meet applicable legal obligations.

Your choices and requests

You may ask what personal information you have provided through this website, request a correction, or request deletion where appropriate. You may also change or withdraw optional analytics consent through the consent controls when available. Send privacy requests to info@mediate.co.in. We may need enough information to verify and locate the relevant correspondence.

Indian data-protection framework

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 establish India's principal framework for processing digital personal data. Their obligations apply according to the notified commencement and enforcement timeline. This policy is intended to reflect the website's actual practices and will be updated as the applicable requirements and production services evolve.

Children

This website is intended for general informational use and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. A parent or guardian should contact us if they believe a child has submitted personal information through the website.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the website, hosting arrangement, contact-form service, analytics configuration, or applicable legal requirements change. The updated date at the top of this page will show when the policy was last revised.
