Malkano Tech ("Malkano", "we", "us", or "our") is a software development company headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information collected through malkano.com, our client engagements, and our recruiting process.

By using our website or services you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or submit information to us.

We collect only the information we need to respond to your request, deliver our services, or evaluate a job application. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:

• Contact details such as name, email address, phone number, and company name when you submit a contact or project inquiry form.
• Project details you voluntarily share in messages or briefs.
• Resume, work history, portfolio links, and references when you apply for a role.
• Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, and referring pages, collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies.

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries, proposals, and support requests.
• Deliver, manage, and improve the services you engage us for.
• Evaluate candidates and run our recruiting process.
• Send relevant updates, newsletters, or service announcements (only where you have opted in).
• Maintain the security, performance, and analytics of our website.
• Comply with applicable legal, tax, and contractual obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Our website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional, remember your theme preference, and understand aggregate usage through privacy-respecting analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function as intended.

We share personal information only with trusted parties who help us operate our business, and only to the extent necessary:

• Infrastructure and cloud providers that host our website and tools.
• Communication tools we use for email, calendar, and project collaboration.
• Professional advisors such as accountants, auditors, and lawyers when legally required.

All vendors are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the agreed purposes.

We keep personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Inquiry data is typically retained for up to 24 months. Candidate data is retained for up to 12 months after a hiring decision unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Client records are retained for the duration of the engagement plus any statutory period.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, email us at malhar@malkano.com or rahul@malkano.com with enough detail for us to locate your record. We respond to verified requests within 30 days.

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We are based in India and may process personal information in India or in other countries where our service providers operate. When we transfer personal data across borders, we take steps to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection.

Our website and services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the website or by email.
