We use aggregate analytics to understand usage trends. Where third-party analytics providers are used, they process data under their own privacy policies.

Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

to protect the rights, safety and property of SODANA, our users or the public;
in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, with notice where required.

Data retention

We keep information only for as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Server logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and, where applicable, the EU/UK GDPR, you may exercise these rights by emailing sobmatechnologies@gmail.com.
