This Privacy Policy explains how K7 Technical & Management Consultancy(“K7”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects the personal information you share with us through this website (k7tmc.com) and through direct correspondence.
1. Who we are
K7 Technical & Management Consultancy is a senior industrial-engineering advisory firm with registered offices at:
- 64 Vignesh Nagar, Near Sastri Nagar, Erode 638002, Tamil Nadu, India (GSTIN 33AKJPS0928E1Z9)
- P.O. Box 1488, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates (FZ-LLC)
For any privacy-related questions or requests, contact us via the contact page.
2. What we collect
We collect only the information you voluntarily provide to us, specifically:
- Inquiry-form data — full name, designation, company name, business email address, phone number, country, city, equipment / plant type (optional), and a free-text description of your engineering challenge.
- Direct correspondence — any information you send us via email, phone, WhatsApp, or LinkedIn.
We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, third-party analytics, or advertising trackers on this website. We do not build behavioural profiles of visitors.
We do collect fully anonymous, aggregated usage information about visits to this website — the page viewed, the approximate country and city derived from your IP address (which itself is not stored), the browser device family (mobile / tablet / desktop), and the referring website. We use a daily-rotated cryptographic hash to count unique visitors within a single day; the hash cannot be associated with a specific person and it changes every 24 hours. This is a permitted cookieless-analytics approach under DPDP Act 2023 and GDPR (CNIL guidance). No cookies are placed on your device by the public site.
3. Why we collect it
Your information is used exclusively to:
- Respond to your inquiry and match your challenge with the appropriate senior engineer.
- Prepare a scoped proposal or diagnostic call.
- Deliver the consulting engagement you request.
- Comply with our legal, tax, and contractual obligations.
We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Legal basis (GDPR / DPDP Act 2023)
We process your data on the following legal bases:
- Consent — when you voluntarily submit the inquiry form or reach out to us.
- Legitimate business interest — responding to prospective-client inquiries.
- Contractual necessity — where you have engaged K7 for a paid service.
5. Data retention
Inquiry-form submissions are retained for up to 24 months from the date of submission to allow follow-up and account management. Correspondence related to an active engagement is retained for the duration of the engagement plus seven years, as required for tax and professional-liability record-keeping under Indian and UAE law.
You can request earlier deletion at any time (see Section 7 below), subject to overriding legal-retention obligations.
6. Storage & security
Inquiry data is transmitted over TLS-encrypted HTTPS and delivered to a secure company mailbox. We apply industry-standard access controls and confidentiality obligations to all client information. Where we use third-party infrastructure (e.g. hosting, email delivery), we select vendors that offer strong contractual data-protection commitments.
7. Your rights
Under the Indian DPDP Act 2023, GDPR (where applicable), and comparable regional laws, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal-retention limits).
- Withdraw consent at any time.
- Object to processing or request restriction.
- File a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the contact page. We will respond within 30 days.
8. International transfers
K7 operates from India and the UAE and serves clients across South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Where your inquiry involves cross-border delivery of services, your data may be processed in the jurisdictions where our engineers are located. All transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards.
9. Children
This site is intended for business and professional use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “last updated” date at the top. Continued use of the site after such changes signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
11. Contact
Questions, requests, or complaints regarding your personal data should be sent through the contact page or addressed to our India registered office.
