Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 10th September, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Abhinav DigiCompSoft Services Pvt. Ltd.
("Abhinav DCS", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares and protects personal
data when you visit eu.abhinavdcs.com (the "Website"), contact us, book a call,
or otherwise interact with us in connection with our custom software and
product configurator services for European manufacturers.

We are established in India. This policy is written to comply with the EU General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to us because we offer services to
individuals in the EU and monitor their behaviour on this Website.

    Contact for privacy matters: europe@abhinavdcs.com Telephone: +91 93560 89589
    Data Protection Officer. We have not appointed a statutory Data Protection Officer, as our processing does not meet the thresholds in Art. 37 GDPR. Privacy queries go to europe@abhinavdcs.com.

    Controller and processor. We act as controller for data about Website visitors, enquiries and business relationships — that is what this policy covers. Where we build, host or support a system for a client, we act as processor on that client's instructions, governed by the Data Processing Agreement with them, not by this policy.

  3. 2. What personal data we collect
  4. We do not knowingly collect special categories of personal data (Art. 9 GDPR) and ask that you do not send them to us.

    Providing your data is voluntary. You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to give us personal data. We cannot respond to an enquiry or enter a contract without at least a name and a means of reply (Art. 13(2)(e) GDPR).

    ProcessorFunctionLocation and transfer basis

    CSpace

    Hosting of this Website, and of client systems and project data

    Headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia (EU). Hosted in EU/EEA data centres — Tallinn, Amsterdam, Stockholm. See section 5.

    Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC

    Business email (Google Workspace), Google Meet, Google Maps embed, Google Analytics

    Google Workspace under Google's Cloud Data Processing Addendum. Transfers to the United States under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

    Calendly, LLC

    Meeting scheduling

    United States, under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Calendly's Data Processing Addendum additionally incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2, controller-to-processor). Calendly does not offer EU data residency; booking data is hosted in the United States.

  9. 5. International data transfers
  10. We are established in India, which is not covered by an adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR.
    Client systems and project data. For EU client engagements, data is hosted exclusively in CSpace's EU/EEA data centres - Tallinn (Estonia), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Stockholm (Sweden) - pinned to the EU. CSpace is headquartered in Tallinn and operates its own EU fibre network. This hosting does not itself involve a transfer outside the EEA.
    CSpace also operates data centres in Dallas (United States) and Mumbai (India) as part of its wider network. These are not used for EU client data unless a specific client agreement provides for it - for example a disaster-recovery configuration. Where it does, an appropriate transfer safeguard is put in place beforehand and disclosed in that client's Data Processing Agreement.
    Support access from India. Where a client requests support or reports an issue, named personnel in India may access data in that client's system to diagnose and resolve it. This access is triggered by a client request rather than routine or continuous, limited to what the issue requires, restricted to authorised personnel, and logged.
    Enquiry and relationship data. Personal data you send us directly - via the contact form, email or a booking is accessible to our team in India so that we can respond to you and manage the relationship.
    Safeguards. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR), supported by a transfer impact assessment and supplementary technical and organisational measures. For transfers to Google LLC we rely on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguard at europe@abhinavdcs.com.

  11. 6. How long we keep it
  12. Once the purpose has ceased and no retention obligation applies, we delete or anonymise the data.

    • Access your personal data and receive a copy (Art. 15)
    • Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16)
    • Erasure (Art. 17)
    • Restriction of processing (Art. 18)
    • Data portability (Art. 20)
    • Object to processing based on legitimate interest, on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21). Where we process your data for direct marketing, you may object at any time and we will stop, without giving reasons.
    • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on it (Art. 7(3)), without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal

    Contact europe@abhinavdcs.com. We respond within one month, extendable by two further months for complex requests, and will tell you if we need the extension.
    Right to complain. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your member state of residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement (Art. 77 GDPR). A list is maintained by the EDPB at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en

  15. 8. Cookies and similar technologies
  16. Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and § 25(2) TDDDG. These are limited to what is required to deliver the service you requested your session, your language and theme, security, and the record of your cookie choice itself.
    Everything else requires your prior consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Nothing non-essential loads before you choose.
    Google Analytics. Collects your IP address (truncated where configured), device and browser information, and pages visited. Processed by Google LLC in the United States under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google acts as our processor. Their policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

    Withdrawing consent. Use the cookie settings link in the Website footer at any time. Withdrawal is as easy as giving consent. You can also use Google's opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or your browser's own controls.
