What this site collects, and what it does not

Short version: nothing until you agree to analytics, and nothing at all if you decline. There are no forms on this site yet, so there is nothing to submit through it.

Who we are

This site is operated by Giridhara Software Services Pvt. Ltd., 2210–2212, 2nd Floor, Block B, Ardente Office One, Hoodi, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560048, India. For anything on this page, write to info@gsstech.in.

What is stored before you choose

Your choice about analytics, and nothing else. It is kept in your browser’s local storage under the key gss-consent, with the value granted or denied. It never leaves your device and we cannot read it. Clearing your browser data removes it and the banner reappears.

If you accept analytics

We load Google Analytics 4 (property G-BTQNXHEGZ8), which sets cookies beginning _ga to tell repeat visits apart. It records:

  • which pages you view, in what order, and how long you stay
  • an approximate location, derived from your IP address
  • your device type, browser and screen size
  • how you arrived — a search, a link, or directly

We ask Google to anonymise your IP address before it is stored. We use this to learn which of these pages are worth keeping. We do not use it to build a profile of you, we do not run advertising, and we do not sell or share it with anyone else. Google processes it as our processor under their own terms, which may involve transfers outside the UK and EU.

Our lawful basis is your consent. Google’s default retention for this kind of data is 14 months, after which it is deleted automatically.

If you decline

No analytics script is loaded at all — not loaded and blocked, but never requested. No cookies are set. If you accepted previously and then decline, we delete the analytics cookies we can reach and reload the page so nothing further is recorded.

Changing your mind

— or use the same link in the footer of any page. You can switch either way as often as you like.

Fonts

Typefaces are served by Google Fonts. Loading them tells Google your IP address and browser, as any request to any server does. No cookie is set and it happens whether or not you accept analytics, because the page cannot render without them.

What we do not do

  • No advertising or remarketing tags, of any kind
  • No social media pixels — the links in our footer are ordinary links
  • No session recording, heatmaps or scroll tracking
  • No newsletter, no account, no login
  • No third-party embeds — no maps, no video players, no chat widget

Contacting us

The addresses on this site are ordinary email links, so writing to us sends a message from your own mail client to ours. We keep that correspondence for as long as we are talking, and for as long afterwards as our records require. We do not add you to a mailing list.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or the EU you can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw consent. Write to info@gsstech.in and we will respond within a month. In practice, for a visitor who has not emailed us, the only thing we could hold is anonymised analytics that is not linked to your name.

Changes

Last updated September 2026. If we add forms, a chat widget or any other tracking, this page changes before they go live, not after.
