I’m David Goodwin. For over 15 years, I built custom homes. Now, through this website, I help people in India find and choose a home they can trust. Your trust matters to me just as much as the trust you’d place in a well-built house. That’s why I keep this privacy policy straightforward and honest.
Information I Collect
I keep data collection minimal. Here’s what that looks like:
- Information you give me. When you subscribe to my guides, reply to an email, or send a question through a contact form, I receive your name, email address, and whatever details you choose to share about your home search.
- Technical information the site collects automatically. Like most websites, the hosting platform and security tools log your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you visit. This helps keep the site safe and lets me see which topics readers find most useful.
How I Use That Information
Every piece of information is used with one goal: to give you a more helpful experience.
- To reply to your questions or requests personally.
- To send you practical guides on choosing, financing, and moving into a home in India — only if you’ve asked for them.
- To understand which topics matter most to home buyers, so I can write more of what helps.
- To keep the website secure and working properly.
I don’t use your data for automated profiling, and I don’t run advertisements that track you across the web.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that help a website remember useful things, like your language preference or whether you’ve visited before. This site uses cookies sparingly:
- Essential cookies keep the site functioning and secure. Without them, forms and navigation may break.
- Analytics cookies help me see how many people visit a particular guide and which resources are most read. The information is aggregated and doesn’t identify you personally.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though that may affect how some parts of the site work for you.
Who I Share Information With
I treat your personal information the way I’d want my own information treated — with care. I do not sell, rent, or trade email addresses or personal details to anyone. The only exceptions are:
- Service providers that help deliver the website and emails (hosting, email delivery, basic analytics). These providers are bound by their own privacy policies, and I choose them carefully.
- Legal requirements — if compelled by law or to protect the rights and safety of the site and its readers.
Keeping Your Information Safe
I take reasonable steps to protect the information you share — whether it’s the email you send me or the data the site collects while you browse. This includes using secure protocols, keeping software up to date, and limiting access to essential systems only.
How Long I Keep Your Data
If you subscribe to my guides, I keep your email address until you tell me to remove it. Messages you send me through a contact form may be kept as long as they’re needed for follow-up, then deleted. Website logs are kept temporarily for security and performance monitoring.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You have the right to:
- Ask what personal information I hold about you.
- Request a copy of that information.
- Ask me to correct or update any inaccurate data.
- Request that I delete your personal information (I’ll do this promptly unless I’m required by law to retain it).
- Withdraw consent for receiving emails at any time — each email includes a clear unsubscribe link.
To exercise any of these rights, just write to me at the address below. I treat every request seriously and respond as quickly as I can.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
If I ever need to update this policy, I’ll post the updated version on this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email. The date at the top of the page will show when it was last revised.
