12. Legal Bases for Processing
The legal basis for processing depends on the applicable law, the nature of the information, and the purpose of processing.

Voluntarily submit an enquiry;
Agree to receive optional communications;
Accept non-essential cookies;
Request a specific service;
Authorise publication or use of information; or
Otherwise provide clear permission.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it, subject to applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully undertaken before withdrawal.
12.2 Steps Requested Before a Contract - We may process personal data to respond to your request and take steps towards a potential speaking, advisory, consulting, partnership, publishing, or other professional agreement.
12.3 Performance of a Contract - Where an engagement is confirmed, processing may be necessary to perform the resulting agreement.
12.4 Legitimate Interests - Where permitted, we may process personal data for legitimate interests such as:
Responding to professional enquiries;
Managing communications;
Protecting the Site;
Preventing fraud and abuse;
Maintaining records;
Improving operations;
Protecting intellectual property;
Establishing or defending legal claims; and
Managing professional relationships.
Where required, we will consider whether our interests are overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Applicable law;
Tax or accounting requirements;
Court orders;
Regulatory directions;
Lawful government requests;
Cybersecurity obligations;
Record-retention requirements; or
Legal claims.
12.6 Certain Legitimate Uses Under Indian Law - Where Indian data-protection law permits processing for a specified legitimate use without consent, personal data may be processed accordingly, but only to the extent authorised by applicable law.
13. Data Minimisation and Purpose Limitation
We seek to collect only personal data that is reasonably necessary for the stated purpose. You should provide only information relevant to your enquiry. We will not intentionally collect excessive personal data merely because a form or communication channel is available.
Information collected for one purpose will not be used for a materially incompatible purpose unless:
You are informed;
A valid legal basis exists;
Consent is obtained where required; or
The use is otherwise permitted by applicable law.
How We Share Personal Data
We may share personal data only where reasonably necessary and legally permitted. Recipients may include:
14.1 Authorised Team Members - Information may be accessed by authorised persons who require it to evaluate, coordinate, or respond to your enquiry.
14.2 Hosting and Technology Providers - This may include:
Framer;
Hosting providers;
Domain providers;
Cloud-service providers;
Email providers;
Form-delivery providers;
Security providers;
Backup providers;
Scheduling tools; and
Technical support providers.
14.3 Professional Advisers - Information may be shared with lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, auditors, insurance advisers, or other professional advisers where reasonably necessary.
14.4 Engagement Partners and Service Providers - Where an enquiry proceeds, information may be shared with event organisers, travel coordinators, production teams, publishers, agents, contractors, or other parties involved in delivering the engagement.
14.5 Legal and Regulatory Authorities - We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

Respond to a valid court order;
Cooperate with a lawful regulatory or law-enforcement request;
Protect legal rights;
Investigate fraud or cybercrime;
Prevent imminent harm; or
Enforce these Terms.
14.6 Business or Operational Transfers - Information may be transferred as part of a lawful restructuring, merger, acquisition, transfer of Site operations, or sale of relevant assets, subject to appropriate safeguards. Service providers are expected to process information only for authorised purposes and subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
Framer and Other Technology Providers
The Site is built or hosted using Framer. Depending on the relevant processing relationship:
The Site operator may determine why and how Site visitor information is used;
Framer may process certain information on the Site operator’s instructions as a processor or service provider;
Framer may independently process limited information for its own security, platform, legal, or operational purposes where permitted by its terms and privacy documentation; and
Framer or its subprocessors may process information in locations outside India.
The Site operator remains responsible for accurately describing its own collection and use of personal data. The use of Framer does not remove the need to configure forms, cookies, embeds, analytics, consent tools, and privacy disclosures appropriately.
No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell personal data in exchange for monetary consideration. We do not rent or trade personal data to third parties for their independent direct-marketing purposes. We do not intend to “share” personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising within the meaning of applicable California law. However, third-party embedded services may independently collect and use information under their own policies. The Site’s technical configuration should be reviewed to determine whether any integration constitutes a “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or another regulated disclosure under applicable law.
Where a legally recognised opt-out mechanism is required, an appropriate control will be provided.
17. International Data Transfers
Because the Site may be accessed globally and may use international technology providers, personal data may be transferred to or processed in countries outside your country of residence, including India and jurisdictions in which service providers operate. Those countries may have data-protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.
Where required by applicable law, international transfers may be supported by:
Adequacy decisions or regulations;
Standard contractual clauses;
UK international data-transfer provisions;
Contractual safeguards;
Technical and organisational safeguards;
Consent, where legally valid;
Necessity for performance of a requested contract; or
Another lawful transfer mechanism.
You may contact us for further information regarding safeguards applicable to a particular transfer, where the law grants such a right.
No Endorsement or Guarantee
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, contractual, security, and record-keeping requirements.
Retention periods may depend on:
The nature of the enquiry;
Whether an engagement resulted;
The sensitivity of the information;
Legal limitation periods;
Tax and accounting obligations;
Contractual requirements;
Security needs;
Disputes or legal claims; and
Applicable data-protection law.
Indicatively:
General enquiries not resulting in an engagement may be retained for a reasonable period after the last substantive communication;
Professional engagement correspondence may be retained for the duration of the engagement and an appropriate period thereafter;
Contract, invoicing, tax, and accounting records may be retained for legally required periods;
Security logs may be retained for a period reasonably necessary to detect, investigate, and prevent misuse;
Cookie consent records may be retained as necessary to demonstrate user preferences and compliance;
Legal or dispute-related records may be retained until relevant proceedings, claims, or limitation periods conclude; and
Suppression records may be retained where necessary to respect an unsubscribe, opt-out, objection, or withdrawal request.
When information is no longer required, it may be securely deleted, anonymised, or isolated from active use. Deletion from active systems may not result in immediate deletion from encrypted backups, which may be overwritten according to normal backup cycles.
Data Accuracy
We take reasonable steps to keep personal data accurate and relevant for the purpose for which it is used. You are responsible for ensuring that information submitted by you is accurate and not misleading. You may contact us to request correction, completion, or updating of personal data, subject to applicable law.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information and relevant risks. Such measures may include:
Access controls;
Strong authentication;
Restricted inbox access;
Secure hosting;
Encryption in transit where supported;
Device and account security;
Anti-spam and anti-abuse controls;
Software updates;
Backups;
Confidentiality obligations;
Service-provider assessment;
Incident-response procedures; and
Periodic review of access and retention.
However, no website, email transmission, storage system, or internet connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You submit information through the internet at your own risk and should not send highly sensitive information through an ordinary contact form or unencrypted email.
Personal Data Breaches and Security Incidents
If we become aware of a personal-data breach or security incident, we may:
Investigate the nature and scope of the incident;
Take steps to contain and remediate it;
Preserve relevant evidence and logs;
Engage technical, legal, or cybersecurity advisers;
Notify service providers or authorities where appropriate;
Notify affected individuals where required by applicable law; and
Review safeguards to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Notification obligations and timelines will depend on the applicable law, the nature of the incident, and the risk to affected individuals.

Fraudulent;
Impossible to verify;
Inconsistent with another person’s rights;

Where a governing law provides a right to appeal or complain to a regulator, you may exercise that right subject to the applicable procedure.
Marketing Communications
The Site does not currently operate a general newsletter or mailing list unless expressly stated otherwise.
We will not send electronic direct-marketing communications merely because you submitted an unrelated professional enquiry, unless:
You expressly consented;
The communication is otherwise lawfully permitted; or
It is directly connected with the enquiry or professional relationship you initiated.
If a newsletter or mailing list is introduced:
The sign-up process will explain the intended communications;
Consent will be obtained where required;
Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe mechanism;
Withdrawal will be respected; and
This Policy will be updated.

Fraud detection;
Cybersecurity;
Form routing;
Email classification;
Scheduling;
Basic analytics; or
Operational assistance
Where a future system involves regulated automated decision-making or profiling, this Policy will be updated and appropriate safeguards will be implemented.

Authorised personnel may use reputable technology or artificial-intelligence tools to assist with limited administrative or operational tasks, such as:
Summarising non-sensitive correspondence;
Drafting responses;
Scheduling;
Organising enquiries;
Translation;
Security monitoring; or
Document management.
Where such tools process personal data, reasonable steps should be taken to:
Avoid unnecessary disclosure;
Use appropriate contractual and security safeguards;
Restrict access and purposes;
Avoid uploading highly sensitive information without justification;
Review generated output before relying upon it; and
Comply with applicable privacy and confidentiality obligations.
Personal data submitted through the Site will not knowingly be used to train a public general-purpose artificial-intelligence model unless expressly disclosed and lawfully authorised.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
Some browsers transmit Do Not Track signals or support privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.
The Site does not currently engage in intended behavioural advertising or sale of personal information.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid opt-out preference signal, we will endeavour to honour that signal to the extent technically and legally required.
Browser signals may not control independent processing by third-party embedded services.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adult and professional audiences and is not designed to collect personal data directly from children.
We do not knowingly solicit personal data through this Site from a person under 18.
If we learn that a child has submitted personal data without appropriate authorisation, we may take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise address the information.
Parents or guardians may contact info@linaashar.com regarding a concern.
Lina Ashar’s educational work and associated organisations may serve children through separate platforms. Those platforms should maintain distinct privacy notices, consent procedures, age-appropriate safeguards, and child-protection frameworks.

Biometrics;

When you leave the Site or interact with an external platform, the relevant third party may independently determine how your information is used.
Its practices are governed by its own:
Privacy policy;
Cookie policy;
Terms of service;
Consent mechanism; and
Security practices.
We are not responsible for independent third-party processing.
You should review the applicable third-party documentation before providing personal information or interacting with embedded content.
Business Transfers and Organisational Changes
If responsibility for the Site or related professional operations is restructured or transferred, personal data may be disclosed to a proposed or actual successor, purchaser, transferee, partner, or adviser.
Such disclosure will be limited to what is reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality, due-diligence, and data-protection safeguards.
Where required, affected individuals will be informed of a material change in the identity of the controller or data fiduciary.
