Legal Grounds (Privacy)
For individuals who reside in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), the processing of their data by this website (www.manishchanda.net) is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is the primary legal framework governing data protection and privacy across the region. The GDPR mandates that any processing of personal data must have a clear and legitimate legal basis, which may vary depending on the specific nature of the data being processed, the reasons for which the data was collected, and the purpose for which the data is subsequently used.
In accordance with the principles outlined in the EU GDPR, the website (www.manishchanda.net) is committed to processing your data only to the extent necessary and for the specific purposes for which the data was originally collected. The website makes every reasonable effort to ensure that personal data is not processed for purposes that are incompatible with those for which it was originally gathered, unless the website obtains your explicit and informed consent to do so, or is otherwise legally permitted to do so under applicable data protection laws.
This section provides a detailed explanation of the legal grounds upon which the website relies when processing the personal data of EU/EEA residents. Different types of personal data and different processing activities may each rely upon distinct legal grounds, depending on the context and the purpose of the processing. The following sections elaborate on the key legal bases for processing personal data under the GDPR, as relied upon by the website (www.manishchanda.net).
Processing Based on Your Consent
The website may process certain categories of your data when you have provided freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent for a particular processing activity. Consent is one of the primary legal bases under the GDPR, and it is only valid if it meets the strict standards set out in the regulation. When relying on consent, the website (www.manishchanda.net) ensures that you are fully aware of the nature and purpose of the processing activity, and you have a genuine choice to either agree or refuse the processing without suffering any negative consequences.
Some examples of processing activities for which your consent is sought include, but are not limited to:
- Where you agree to receive marketing communications such as newsletters, promotional offers, event invitations, product updates, or similar correspondence from the website (www.manishchanda.net), whether via email, SMS, or other digital communication channels.
- Where you agree to allow your data to be shared with selected third-party service providers who assist the website with specific functions, such as email marketing platforms, analytics services, payment processors, or customer support platforms.
- When you explicitly provide your consent to allow the website to use cookies and similar tracking technologies for purposes beyond strictly necessary functions, such as for personalized advertising, advanced analytics, or social media integration.
The website keeps a record of all instances where your consent was sought, obtained, and withdrawn (if applicable) to ensure full compliance with Article 7 of the GDPR. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing conducted before the withdrawal. Instructions for withdrawing consent are provided in the Your Rights under GDPR section of the privacy policy.

In situations where you enter into or intend to enter into a contractual relationship with the website (www.manishchanda.net), the website will process your data to the extent necessary to perform its contractual obligations, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

- Providing customer support and responding to inquiries relating to existing or potential contracts, including assisting with billing inquiries, delivery issues, or service questions.
- Taking necessary pre-contractual steps at your request, such as preparing price quotes, service proposals, or customized product offerings.
This form of processing is considered lawful under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits data processing that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to take steps at the request of the data subject before entering into a contract. If you fail to provide the personal data necessary for the performance of a contract, the website may be unable to fulfill its contractual obligations and may be forced to cancel the requested service or terminate the agreement.

The website will also take steps to ensure that your data is processed securely and in accordance with the data minimization principle, meaning only the data strictly required for legal compliance will be processed.
