1. Introduction & Overview

Modern X Webs ("Agency", "we", "us", or "our") is a specialized brand growth partner headquartered in India, serving ambitious founders, digital enterprises, and next-generation brands worldwide. We engineer high-performance web development, hyper-targeted performance advertising, brand identity systems, and technical search engine optimization (SEO).

This Privacy Policy delineates how we gather, process, store, disclose, and protect information when you navigate our primary domain (modernxwebs.com), book a discovery session, access our client portals, or enter into a commercial services contract with us.

By accessing our website or submitting information to us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consented to the data practices described in this document.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information strictly necessary to provide elite design and engineering services, evaluate prospective agency-client partnerships, and communicate effectively. The data collected falls into three categories:

A. Information Provided Voluntarily by You

• Consultation & Discovery Call Data: When you schedule a strategy session via our interactive booking interface or communicate with us, we collect your full name, work email address, company name, brand website URL, project brief details, estimated investment budget, and target launch timeline.
• Direct Inquiries & Project Briefs: Any specifications, wireframes, copy, design assets, API credentials, or feedback provided directly via email ([email protected]), instant messaging, or project management boards.
• Billing & Commercial Information: For contracted client engagements, corporate registration details, tax identification numbers (such as GSTIN for Indian clients, or corporate VAT/EIN for international clients), invoicing contact names, and billing addresses. Payment card numbers are processed directly via secure payment gateways and are never stored on our servers.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Device & Telemetry Details: Browser type, operating system version, screen resolution, preferred language settings, device hardware classification (desktop, tablet, mobile), and network identifiers.
• Log & Usage Metrics: Internet Protocol (IP) address, approximate geographic location (city and country level), referring URLs, request timestamps, pages viewed, time spent per section, and navigation pathways.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

Modern X Webs prioritizes lightweight, privacy-conscious web design. We do not use intrusive cross-site tracking cookies or invasive profiling mechanisms. We utilize modern browser storage (LocalStorage) and functional cookies solely to maintain website performance and user preferences:

4. How We Use Your Data

We collect and process your information exclusively for legitimate agency and commercial objectives:

• Fulfilling Discovery Sessions: Preparing for scheduled consultation calls, reviewing your digital presence, and assessing fit for brand growth partnerships.

• Legal & Tax Compliance: Maintaining accounting books and complying with applicable Indian commercial, tax, and reporting mandates.

5. Legal Grounds for Processing

Under the DPDP Act (India), the GDPR (EU/UK), and international data regulations, we only process personal information where a valid legal basis exists:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to initiate, manage, or perform a contract with you or your enterprise (e.g., scoping projects, delivering code, hosting deliverables).

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Modern X Webs is based in India, while serving corporate clients across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. Consequently, information collected through modernxwebs.com may be processed on secure servers located outside your jurisdiction.

When transferring data across international boundaries, we ensure that adequate technical and contractual safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses, encrypted data transit via TLS 1.3, and restricted access controls) consistent with the DPDP Act and GDPR adequacy requirements.

8. Data Retention & Safeguards

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered:

• Consultation Inquiries: Inquiries and project briefs that do not materialize into active client contracts are securely purged or anonymized within 24 months.
• Client Project Records: Source code repositories, architectural diagrams, and project assets are maintained for the duration of the engagement and for an agreed maintenance archive period.
• Invoicing & Tax Records: Retained for 7 to 8 years in strict accordance with statutory Indian tax and corporate compliance obligations.
