Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Ridha Associates ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit ridhaassociates.com or submit a form on this website. It does not cover information we may collect through other channels, such as phone calls, email, or in-person meetings, which are handled in accordance with our client engagement agreements.

1. Information You Provide Directly

We collect information you choose to submit through the forms on this site:

• Contact / Enquiry form: first name, last name, email address, phone number, service of interest, and any message you include.
• Careers form: first name, last name, phone number, and email address.

These submissions are delivered to us through Formspree, a third-party form-processing service. We do not store form submissions in a database on this website.

2. Information Collected Automatically

If you accept cookies via the banner shown on your first visit, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — for example, pages viewed, time on site, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser type, and referring site. Google Analytics is not loaded, and no analytics cookies are set, unless you accept.

If you decline or take no action, Google Analytics is never loaded and no analytics data is collected for your visit.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your cookie preference (accepted or declined) so we don't ask again on your next visit. This is not a tracking cookie — it only stores your choice. You can change your preference at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer, which clears this choice and shows the banner again.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form
• To review and respond to job applications submitted through the careers form
• To understand and improve how visitors use our website (only with analytics consent)
• To meet legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations

We do not use the information you submit for automated decision-making, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. How We Share Your Information

We share information only with service providers who help us operate this website and process submissions:

• Formspree, Inc. — receives and delivers contact and careers form submissions to us.
• Google LLC (Google Analytics) — processes anonymized usage data, only if you accept cookies.

These providers may process data on servers located outside India, including in the United States. We otherwise disclose information only where required by applicable law, regulation, or valid legal process.

6. Data Retention

We retain information submitted through our forms for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry or application, or as required to meet legal and regulatory obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

7. Data Security

This site is served over HTTPS and applies a Content Security Policy and other browser-level protections to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights & Choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted to us, and you may withdraw analytics consent at any time via "Cookie Preferences" in the footer. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for businesses and professionals and is not directed at, or knowingly collecting information from, individuals under the age of 18.

10. Third-Party Links

This site links to third-party services such as WhatsApp. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external services, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
