Privacy Policy 

At HopeStone Advisory, accessible from www.hopestoneadvisory.com, the privacy and security of our visitors and clients is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we may collect, how we use it, your rights regarding your personal data, and the steps we take to safeguard it. This document is intended to comply with the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the applicable rules framed thereunder, including the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011.

1. Information We Collect

When you visit our website or interact with our services, we may collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.

Personal information includes data that can be used to identify you, such as your full name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and other contact details. This information is typically collected when you fill out a contact form, schedule a consultation, subscribe to a newsletter, or correspond with us directly.

Non-personal information includes technical data like your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited on our website, time spent on each page, and other analytics. This data is gathered using tools such as cookies, web beacons, and third-party analytics services to help us improve the website’s performance and your browsing experience.

We do not collect or process any sensitive personal data or information (SPDI) such as passwords, financial information (unless directly and voluntarily provided for service purposes), health records, or biometric information.

2. Purpose of Collecting Your Data

The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your inquiries and provide consulting or advisory services.

  • To send relevant communications, newsletters, or promotional materials (only with your consent).

  • To maintain and improve the user experience on our website.

  • To conduct internal research and analysis for business development and service improvement.

  • To comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Consent

By using our website or providing your personal information to us, you consent to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, please note that withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent prior to withdrawal.

In cases where the collection or processing of data requires your explicit consent (such as for newsletter subscriptions or marketing communication), we will ensure that a clear opt-in mechanism is provided.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal data with third parties only in limited circumstances and with adequate safeguards, such as:

  • With service providers and vendors who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, such as website hosting, analytics, or email delivery services. These third parties are bound by contractual obligations to protect your data and only use it for the intended purposes.

  • With legal or regulatory authorities, if required by law or in response to valid requests for information (such as a court order or government investigation).

  • In the event of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, where user information may be transferred as part of the assets.

We do not engage in the unauthorised transfer of personal data outside India unless it is necessary for the performance of a contract and subject to appropriate safeguards.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law. Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise the information, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with legal, tax, or regulatory obligations.

6. Security Practices

We implement reasonable security measures, both technical and organizational, to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include secure servers, encryption protocols, access controls, and regular audits of our security systems.

While we take data protection seriously, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we do strive to apply the best practices to protect your data.

7. Your Rights

Under applicable Indian laws and general data protection principles, you have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • Right to access – You can request access to the personal data we hold about you.

  • Right to correction – You can request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Right to withdraw consent – You may withdraw your consent for us to process your personal information.

  • Right to grievance redressal – You may contact our customer support team for concerns about the misuse or improper disclosure of your data.
