Privacy Policy

1. Information Collected

Information You Provide

Information you choose to provide may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Company, organization, publication, university, or event
• Job title or professional role
• City or event location
• Event type, date, audience size, and audience profile
• Speaking, moderation, media, or interview details
• Business industry, revenue range, owner circumstances, goals, and operating challenges
• Partnership interests and proposed timelines
• Scheduling information
• Payment and transaction information
• Information included in forms, messages, documents, or other communications
• Any other information you voluntarily provide

The inquiry form may request different information depending on whether your request concerns speaking or moderation, operating leadership, media, ASAN or community partnerships, or another business or professional matter.

Please do not submit confidential financial records, customer information, employee records, medical information, immigration records, passwords, legally privileged information, trade secrets, or other highly sensitive material through a general Website form or ordinary email.

Submitting information through the Website does not create a confidential, fiduciary, advisory, employment, partnership, attorney-client, or other professional relationship.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Website, limited technical information may be collected automatically by the Website or its service providers, including Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, approximate geographic area derived from an IP address, date and time of access, Website interactions, and cookies and similar browser technologies.

This information may be used to operate, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and understand use of the Website.

Information From Third Parties

Information may also be received from third parties, including scheduling platforms, payment processors, form and communication providers, event organizers, media organizations, business associates, referral sources, public professional profiles, ASAN, The INDUStry Show, and related organizations or platforms when relevant to an inquiry.

2. How Information Is Used

Information may be used to review and respond to inquiries, evaluate whether a speaking, moderation, media, operating-leadership, partnership, or other opportunity may be a fit, schedule calls, recordings, meetings, and working sessions, prepare for conversations, events, interviews, or engagements, process payments and provide transaction records, communicate about an inquiry, booking, engagement, or relationship, maintain business and correspondence records, operate, improve, secure, and troubleshoot the Website, measure Website use and performance, prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security incidents, comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements, establish, exercise, or defend legal rights, and carry out another purpose disclosed when information is collected or authorized by you.

Information submitted for an ASAN or community partnership inquiry may be shared with or handled through Antha Prerna Foundation or the American South Asian Network when reasonably necessary to evaluate or respond to that inquiry.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential Website functions and limited analytics.

Cookies are small files or data elements stored through your browser. They may help operate and secure the Website, protect forms from misuse, remember limited preferences, understand Website traffic and use, and improve Website performance.

You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect the operation of some Website features.

The Website may display a short cookie notice explaining that cookies and similar technologies are used. Dismissing the notice acknowledges receipt of the disclosure. It is not intended to represent consent where consent is legally required.

I do not sell personal information collected through the Website or use Website visitor information to track individuals across unrelated websites for targeted advertising.

If these practices materially change, this Privacy Policy will be updated and any additional privacy choices required by applicable law will be provided.

4. Analytics

The Website may use analytics services to understand Website traffic, page views, referral sources, device and browser types, general visitor interactions, and Website performance.

Analytics providers may receive technical information such as IP addresses, device information, browser information, and Website activity.

Analytics information is used to evaluate and improve the Website. I do not represent that all analytics information is completely anonymous.

5. Inquiries and Communications

Information submitted through the inquiry form may be used to evaluate and respond to the request.

Providing information does not guarantee a response, acceptance of an inquiry, a meeting, a speaking or media engagement, an operating-leadership engagement, a partnership, a referral or introduction, or any particular business or professional outcome.

Communications related to an inquiry, appointment, transaction, or engagement may be sent by email, telephone, text message, video platform, or another method you provide or select.

Administrative communications may still be sent when reasonably necessary even if you decline unrelated promotional communications.

6. Scheduling and Booking Platforms

The Website may link to third-party scheduling or booking platforms.

When you use an external scheduling platform, that provider may collect information including name, email address, telephone number, appointment selection, calendar availability, time zone, meeting details, payment information where applicable, and technical information collected under the provider’s own policies.

The third-party platform’s privacy policy and terms govern its collection and use of information.

A scheduled appointment may be declined, cancelled, or rescheduled when the selected appointment type was not authorized, the request does not match the stated purpose of the calendar, required information is incomplete, a scheduling conflict occurs, the inquiry is not a fit, or other reasonable circumstances require a change.

7. Payments and Paid Working Sessions

Payments for working sessions or other paid services may be processed by a third-party payment provider.

I generally do not receive or store complete payment-card numbers. I may receive transaction information including name, contact information, amount paid, transaction date, payment status, limited payment-method details, and appointment or service purchased.

This information may be used to process the transaction, provide receipts, administer the session, maintain financial records, prevent fraud, and comply with tax, accounting, and legal obligations.

8. Media, Recordings, and Submitted Materials

Media inquiries, interview recordings, event materials, biographies, photographs, videos, audio, quotations, and other content may be handled under separate discussions, permissions, or agreements.

When you voluntarily submit materials for consideration, you represent that you have the authority to provide them.

Submitted materials may be used to evaluate an inquiry, prepare for an event or interview, coordinate production, confirm biographical or professional information, develop agreed-upon promotional or editorial materials, and maintain appropriate records.

Submitting materials does not guarantee publication, participation, use, endorsement, or compensation.

9. How Information Is Disclosed

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Service Providers

Service providers may assist with Website hosting and maintenance, forms, email and communications, scheduling, video conferencing, payment processing, analytics, cloud storage, document management, information security, accounting, legal, tax, compliance, and professional services. These providers may process information on my behalf or under their own applicable terms and legal obligations.

Event, Media, and Business Participants

Relevant information may be disclosed to event organizers, conference producers, media organizations, interview producers, speakers or panel participants, business owners or representatives, professional advisers, contractors, ASAN or Antha Prerna Foundation representatives, The INDUStry Show production participants, and other parties reasonably involved in evaluating or carrying out an inquiry or engagement.

Only information reasonably relevant to the particular activity or relationship will ordinarily be shared.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

Information may be disclosed when reasonably believed necessary to comply with a law, subpoena, court order, governmental request, or legal process; investigate fraud, abuse, threats, misconduct, or unlawful activity; protect rights, safety, property, systems, or security; enforce an agreement or policy; or establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

Business Transactions

If all or part of a business, Website, service, or related operation is transferred, reorganized, financed, acquired, or sold, relevant information may be disclosed or transferred as part of the transaction, subject to applicable law.

With Your Direction or Authorization

Information may be disclosed when you direct or authorize the disclosure.

10. Sale and Targeted Advertising

Personal information collected through the Website is not sold for monetary consideration.

Website visitor information is not used for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising across unrelated websites.

Links to outside publications, organizations, companies, social-media platforms, or other resources do not by themselves constitute the sale of personal information.

11. External Websites and Services

The Website may link to external websites and services, including scheduling platforms, video-conferencing platforms, payment processors, publications, media platforms, universities, companies, nonprofit organizations, ASAN, The INDUStry Show, LinkedIn, and other social platforms.

External websites operate independently and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

I do not control and am not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, content, representations, or practices of external websites or services.

12. Information Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures are used to protect information in light of its nature and the circumstances in which it is maintained.

No website, form, email system, communication method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Do not use an ordinary email or general Website form to send highly sensitive or confidential information.

13. Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to review and respond to inquiries, administer bookings, transactions, and engagements, maintain business and communication records, support ongoing or potential relationships, meet tax, accounting, contractual, and legal obligations, prevent fraud and maintain security, resolve disputes, and protect legal rights.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, the purpose for which the information was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymized, or retained in a limited archival form where appropriate.

14. Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended for adults and professional audiences. It is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the Website.

A parent, guardian, school, university, or event organizer may provide information concerning a minor when relevant to an event or activity and permitted by law.

15. Privacy Rights and Requests

Depending on where you reside and which laws apply, you may have rights concerning personal information.

These may include the right to request information about personal information maintained about you, access to certain personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of certain information, information about certain disclosures, and withdrawal from certain communications.

These rights may be subject to exceptions, including information that must be retained for legal, accounting, tax, contractual, security, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping purposes.

To submit a privacy request, use the connect form on nitinsbajaj.com/connect and identify the request as a “Privacy Request.”

Identity or authority may need to be verified before a request is completed.

No person will be discriminated against for exercising an applicable privacy right.

16. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings. There is not currently a uniform industry standard governing responses to all Do Not Track signals.

Where applicable law requires recognition of an opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, the signal will be processed as legally required with respect to the browser or device from which it is sent.

Because personal information is not sold and Website visitor information is not used for targeted advertising across unrelated websites, such a signal may not change the Website’s ordinary operation.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in Website practices, technology, services, or legal obligations.

A revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through an additional Website notice or another appropriate method.

18. Contact
