If you contact us

We use it only to reply and to deal with your request, and we delete correspondence when it is no longer needed for that purpose, unless the law requires us to keep it. Our address is a DuckDuckGo Email Protection address, so DuckDuckGo forwards your message to us; see the DuckDuckGo Privacy Policy.
Issues and discussions on GitHub are public. Do not post personal information, passwords or private keys there. GitHub's own privacy statement applies to your GitHub account.
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, we process this information because you have chosen to provide it for that purpose.

We design our software to keep information on your device and to handle as little data as possible. No system is completely secure, so please keep your device, operating system and browser up to date. To report a vulnerability, follow the security instructions on the RefIndia security page, or email us.

Depending on where you live, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, you may have the right to:

- withdraw consent you have given;
- nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become incapacitated; and
- have a grievance addressed, and complain to your data protection authority, including the Data Protection Board of India.
