Privacy Policy
Who we are
This policy explains how Faultline Global (“Faultline Global,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information collected through https://www.faultlineglobal.com (the “Site”). For anything related to this policy, contact hello@faultlineglobal.com.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you email us, use the contact form, or otherwise write to us, we receive whatever you send us — typically your email address and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site may collect technical and usage information automatically as you browse, including standard hosting logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) generated by our hosting provider, and cookies used for analytics and advertising, described below and in our Cookie Policy.
We may run Google Analytics on this Site to understand how it’s used — page views, referral sources, approximate location, device type, and similar metrics. We don’t always run it, but it can be switched on at any time without further notice, so you should assume it is active whenever you visit. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes data under Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
We may also serve advertising through Google AdSense (part of Google Ads). Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, and to measure how those ads perform. You can review and adjust ad personalization at https://adssettings.google.com, and read about Google’s partner-site practices at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Hosting
The Site is hosted on infrastructure provided by Vercel Inc. Vercel processes technical data — such as IP addresses and request logs — as part of delivering the Site to you, under its own terms and privacy policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy. We don’t control how Vercel handles that data beyond configuring the Site itself.
How we use information
We use the information described above to operate, maintain, and improve the Site; understand aggregate readership and traffic patterns; respond to messages sent to us; serve and measure advertising; and comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
We do not sell personal information to data brokers, and we do not knowingly share it with anyone beyond the service providers named in this policy and as required by law.
Cookies
Cookies used on the Site — for analytics, advertising, and remembering your light/dark theme preference — are described in full in our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.
International data transfers
Faultline Global operates from India, but our service providers — including Google and Vercel — operate globally, which means the information described in this policy may be processed on servers outside India. By using the Site, you understand your information may be transferred to, and stored and processed in, countries other than your own.
Your rights
If you are in India, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 gives you rights over personal data we hold about you, including rights to access, correct, and request erasure of it, and to raise a grievance with us before approaching the relevant authority. To exercise any of these, email hello@faultlineglobal.com. If you’re visiting from elsewhere, you may have additional rights under your own local law; we’ll make reasonable efforts to honor requests consistent with those laws, though the Site is operated from, and primarily governed by the law of, India.
Children’s privacy
The Site isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we’ll remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
