This policy explains what personal data MarquixAd collects through this website, why, who it is shared with and the choices you have. It is written for India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and, for visitors in the European Union or United Kingdom, the GDPR.

1. Who we are

Questions or requests about your personal data: support@marquixad.com or +91 81782 00573.

2. What we collect

  • Enquiry forms: your name, business name, work email, phone number, website, and your answers about the services you need, your budget range and your goals, plus any message you write.
  • Job applications: the details you submit through the careers form, including links to your CV or portfolio.

  • Analytics and advertising data, only with your consent: pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location and interactions, collected by Google Analytics and advertising tags through Google Tag Manager. See our Cookie Policy.
  • Technical data: our hosting provider processes IP addresses and request details to deliver the site and keep it secure. We use IP addresses briefly, in memory, to limit repeated form submissions; we do not store them with your enquiry.

Please don't include sensitive information (such as health or financial account details) in form messages; we don't need it.

3. Why we use it

  • To provide services we have agreed with you. Basis: the contract.
  • To send our newsletter, if you subscribe. Basis: your consent; unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
  • To assess job applications. Basis: your consent.
  • To understand which marketing brings us enquiries (the campaign information above) and, with your consent, to measure and improve the website and our advertising.
  • To keep the site secure, prevent spam and meet legal, tax and accounting obligations. Basis: legitimate uses permitted by law and legal obligation.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

4. Who we share it with

Only with service providers who process it on our behalf, under contracts that require them to protect it:

  • Website hosting, which serves the site and processes technical data.
  • Google, Meta and LinkedIn, only if you accept analytics or advertising cookies, for measurement and advertising.

Some providers process data outside India. Where they do, we rely on the transfer rules of the DPDP Act and, for GDPR data, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

5. How long we keep it

  • Enquiries that don't lead to work: up to [24 months] after our last contact.
  • Client records: for the duration of our agreement and afterwards as long as tax, accounting and legal obligations require.
  • Job applications: up to [12 months], unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
  • Analytics and advertising data: as set by the provider and described in our Cookie Policy.

6. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you can ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how it is processed, ask us to correct, complete or update it, ask us to erase it where it is no longer needed, withdraw consent at any time (this doesn't affect processing already carried out), nominate someone to exercise your rights if you die or become incapable, and raise a grievance with us. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection.

To exercise any right, contact support@marquixad.com or +91 81782 00573. We will respond within the time the law requires. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India or, in the EU or UK, your local data protection authority.
