Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 August 2026
What we collect
- Account details: when you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address.
- LinkedIn URL: we ask for this to verify you are a real person.
- Your reviews: the ratings and text you submit.
- Basic technical data: such as your IP address, used for security and to prevent abuse.
What stays private
Your name, email, LinkedIn URL, and IP address are never shown publicly. Publicly, your reviews appear only under a generated handle (for example, PrudentAuditor), which is not your real name. We do not sell your personal information.
How we use your data
- To create and secure your account.
- To verify reviewers are genuine and to moderate reviews.
- To operate, protect, and improve the platform.
Analytics
We count page views so we can see which parts of the site are useful. This is done on our own server and is deliberately minimal:
- No third party. There is no Google Analytics, no tracking pixel and no analytics script of any kind. Nothing about your visit is sent to another company.
- No cookie and no browser storage is used for analytics.
- Your IP address is never stored. To tell one visitor from another within a single day, we compute a one-way hash of your IP address, your browser's user-agent string and a random value that changes daily. The result cannot be reversed, cannot be linked to you, and cannot be connected to your visit on any other day.
- We record the page address, the referring site if you arrived from an external link, and the time. Nothing else.
This data is only ever seen by us in aggregate, and is used to understand traffic, not individuals.
Cookies
We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in. It is not used to track you across other websites, and it is not used for analytics.
Advertising
Firm Dhundo is supported by advertising. We use third-party advertising vendors, including Google, to display ads on this site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- Third-party vendors and ad networks that we do not control may also serve ads on this site and may use their own cookies for that purpose. This policy does not cover their practices.
How to opt out. You can turn off personalised advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many other vendors at aboutads.info/choices or the NAI opt-out page. Opting out does not remove ads; it stops them being personalised.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any advertising or analytics cookies are set, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time from the consent link on the site. We do not show personalised ads to anyone we believe to be under 18.
Advertisers do not receive your name, email address, LinkedIn URL, or the content of any review you have written.
We do not currently display advertising on Firm Dhundo, and we set no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
If that changes, this section will be updated before the first ad is served, and visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent before any advertising cookie is set.
Your choices
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data. Write to us through the contact page and tell us what you need.
Third parties
We use Google for sign-in, and Google Maps data to show firm locations and directions. Where advertising is enabled, we also use Google's advertising services. Their handling of your data is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
Children
Firm Dhundo is intended for adults using or working in professional services. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Contact and grievances
Questions about your privacy, or a complaint about anything on the site, go to our contact page, which also names the Grievance Officer required under India's IT Rules, 2021. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and aim to resolve them within 15 days.
