This page explains how the firm handles personal data that you send through this website. It is written to follow the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025.
Who is responsible
Aniket Mestry & Associates, Chartered Accountants, A-7 Devdarshan Society, Pererawadi, Sakinaka, Mumbai - 400072. For any question about your personal data, write to aniketmestryandassociates@gmail.com, or telephone 8976193228.
What the firm collects
Only what you type into the form on the Contact page: your name, a telephone number or e-mail address, and your message. This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising tools, and does not collect anything else about your visit. Like any website, it is delivered by a hosting provider, Cloudflare, Inc., which handles technical information such as the IP address of each visit in order to deliver the site and keep it secure. It does so on the firm's behalf, and the firm does not use this information.
Why
To reply to your message. The firm does not use these details for any other purpose and does not send circulars or marketing messages.
Who handles the data for the firm
Your message passes through Cloudflare, Inc., which hosts this website, handles the contact form and sends the e-mail, to the firm's mailbox, which is provided by Google. Both act on the firm's behalf. The firm does not sell your data. It may disclose it where the law requires.
How long it is kept
The message is not stored on the website. The firm keeps it in its mailbox for 12 months after your last message and then deletes it, or earlier if you ask for erasure or withdraw consent, unless the law requires it to be kept longer. If your message leads to an engagement, the firm's records of that engagement are kept as the law requires.
Your rights
You may, at any time:
- withdraw your consent, as easily as you gave it. Write to aniketmestryandassociates@gmail.com, or telephone 8976193228. Withdrawal does not affect what was done before you withdrew (Act, section 6(4)–(5));
- ask for a summary of the data processed about you and for the identities of those it has been shared with (section 11);
- ask for correction, completion, updating or erasure (section 12);
- raise a grievance with the firm (section 13). Please do this first; the Act asks you to use the firm's grievance route before approaching the Board;
- nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to do so (section 14).
Complaint to the Board
If the firm's reply does not resolve your grievance, you may make a complaint to the Data Protection Board of India, established by the Government of India under the Act. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology's website, www.meity.gov.in, carries information about the Act and the Board.
