Privacy Policy

At Nalan Chakaravarthy (Fuel Cell & Automotive CAD Specialist), your privacy is taken seriously. This policy explains clearly and transparently how information is handled when you interact with this website and its contact channels — particularly for US-based cleantech startups and research labs considering engineering design support.

1. Information Collected

When you use the contact form on this website, the following information you voluntarily provide is collected:

• Your name and email address
• Company name (optional)
• Project brief and technical requirements
• Any files you choose to attach (e.g., CAD references, project specifications, or scope documents)

This information is submitted via FormSubmit and delivered directly to the business email address. No data is stored on this website's server.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Information collected through this website is used solely to:

• Respond to your inquiry within 24 hours
• Provide engineering design quotations and project scoping
• Support ongoing project engagements (SOFC modeling, automotive CAD, etc.)

Your information is never sold, shared with third parties for marketing purposes, or used for any purpose unrelated to the professional engagement you have initiated.

3. Confidentiality & IP Protection

As an engineering professional handling sensitive aerospace and cleantech data, all project-related materials received are treated with strict professional confidentiality. Technical files (CAD models, simulation data, research documents) are accessed only for the purpose of project evaluation and execution.

NDAs are signed as standard practice before any technical material is shared. Intellectual property ownership of all delivered work transfers fully to the client upon final payment.

4. Cookies & Tracking

This website does not use intrusive tracking cookies or behavioral advertising scripts. Basic analytics (if enabled by the hosting platform) may collect anonymized visitor data such as page views and country of origin to help improve site performance — no personally identifiable information is involved.

5. Third-Party Services

The contact form uses FormSubmit for message delivery. File hosting and website serving is handled by standard web hosting infrastructure. No data is transferred to advertising platforms, social media networks, or data brokers.

6. Data Retention

Project-related communications and files are retained only for the duration needed to complete the engagement and meet reasonable professional record-keeping obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting the email address below.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information provided through this website. Requests are honored within 30 days.
