Privacy Policy
HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION
We collect only what's necessary, never sell your data, and ask before loading any analytics.
Who We Are
Global Investing Sahi Hai ("we," "our," or "us") is an independent financial education platform helping Indian investors understand their options for global market access. We operate this website and the resources, calculators, and contact forms contained within it.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to all pages at this domain. We process personal information in accordance with applicable Indian privacy laws, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), where applicable.

- Browser type, device type, and operating system.
- Pages visited, time spent, and navigation paths (via Google Analytics).
- Approximate location at the city or region level (derived from IP address).
- Interaction data collected by ContentSquare for UX analysis.

How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and contact form submissions.
- Send occasional updates or newsletters if you have opted in.
- Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve content and navigation.
- Diagnose technical issues and maintain site performance.

Cookies & Analytics
We ask for your consent before loading any non-essential cookies or analytics scripts. If you decline, no analytics tools are loaded and no tracking cookies are set.
If you accept, the following tools are activated:
- Google Analytics (G-X50GHVDE4B): Tracks page views, session duration, and traffic sources in aggregate. Data is anonymised and processed by Google. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
- ContentSquare: Records session replays and heatmaps to help us understand how visitors interact with page layouts. No personally identifiable information is captured in these recordings.
You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining when the banner reappears. You may also permanently opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Hosting & Infrastructure
This website is hosted through Cloudflare Pages and related Cloudflare infrastructure. As part of normal site delivery and DDoS protection, Cloudflare may process technical data such as IP addresses and request metadata. This is governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
We do not have access to raw server logs or IP address data beyond what is surfaced through our analytics tools.
Contact Forms & Newsletter
Contact form: Submissions made through our contact form may be processed by a third-party form (Web3Forms) acting on our behalf. These providers process only the data you submit and are contractually bound to handle it confidentially. Update with your actual provider before publishing.
Newsletter: If you subscribe to updates, your email address is stored with our newsletter platform (Beehiiv). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email. Update with your actual provider before publishing.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Trusted vendors who process data solely on our behalf under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Legal requirements: When required to comply with a court order, legal process, or government request under applicable Indian law.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, your information may transfer to the successor entity under equivalent privacy protections.
