Effective date: July 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Speechfinds (“we”, “us”, “our”), accessible at speechfinds.com, collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the limited data we handle. By using speechfinds.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Speechfinds is a content website, and we collect only the information needed to run it well:
- Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the name and email address you provide, the comment content, your IP address and browser user-agent string. This helps us display your comment and detect spam.
- Contact form and email: When you contact us through our form or at contact@speechfinds.com, we receive your name, email address and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you.
- Analytics data: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, time on page, approximate location (city level), device type and referral source. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
We do not require registration to read Speechfinds, and we never ask for sensitive personal information such as government IDs, financial details or passwords.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to publish and moderate comments, respond to your messages and enquiries, understand which articles are useful so we can create better content, keep the site secure and prevent spam or abuse, and comply with legal obligations where applicable. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone.
Third-Party Services
Speechfinds uses or may use the following third-party services, each of which processes data under its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics: Helps us measure site traffic and usage patterns through cookies. Google may process this data on servers outside India. You can opt out using Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Google AdSense (possible future use): If we display advertising, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can manage ad personalisation at Google’s Ads Settings page.
- Spam protection and hosting providers: Comment data may be checked through automated spam-detection services, and all site data is stored with our hosting provider under industry-standard security practices.
Articles on this site may embed content from other websites (for example, YouTube videos). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly, and those sites may collect data about you according to their own policies.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. Speechfinds uses cookies for basic site functionality (such as remembering your details if you comment), analytics, and — if advertising is enabled in future — ad serving. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading our content, though some features may work less smoothly.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognised and displayed. Contact emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for reasonable record-keeping, after which they may be deleted. Aggregated analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of our analytics provider, typically 14 to 26 months.
Your Rights
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate data, request deletion of your personal data (including comments you have posted), and object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@speechfinds.com and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. These rights are provided in line with applicable data protection laws, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
Children’s Privacy
Speechfinds is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we handle, including HTTPS encryption across the site and access controls on our systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be highlighted on the site. Your continued use of speechfinds.com after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled on Speechfinds, email us at contact@speechfinds.com. We will do our best to resolve any concern quickly and transparently.
