Privacy Policy

Last updated 15 October 2026

Who we are

This website promotes and accompanies the book Protein-Rich India by Dr Shantanu Deshpande. Questions about privacy can be sent through the contact form.

What we collect

• Contact form: your name, email address, topic and message, used only to reply to you.
• Newsletter: your email address, used only to send occasional updates about new recipes, nutrition articles and the book. Every email has a way to unsubscribe, or you can ask us to remove you.
• Diet planner: the age, sex, height, weight and preferences you enter are processed in your own browser. They are not sent to us or stored on our servers. The planner may remember your last plan in your browser's local storage so it is there when you return; you can clear it with the “Clear saved plan” button or by clearing your browser data.
• Recipe checklists: ingredient ticks are kept only in your browser.

What we don't do

We don't require accounts, don't sell personal information, and don't use advertising trackers. We don't ask for medical records; please don't send personal health details through the forms.

Where data is kept

Form submissions are received and stored by the website host (Netlify) on our behalf. We keep messages only as long as needed to respond and newsletter addresses until you unsubscribe.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information you have sent us by using the contact form.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will change too.
