Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

1. Who We Are

Viral Pulse Media ("we", "us") operates the website viralpulse.co.in and its language versions (for example viralpulse.co.in/es/). We are a marketing publication and agency based in India, founded by Mehran Shahmiri.

This policy explains what personal data we handle, why, and what choices you have. Questions: hello@viralpulse.co.in.

2. Data We Collect

  • •Enquiries and downloads. When you use our contact form, free-audit form or a free resource download, we store what you enter (name, email, website, message) and the page you were on. A one-way hash of your IP address is kept to limit abuse.
  • •Booked calls. When you book a strategy call we store your name, email, phone number, optional company and topic, and the time you chose. A team member uses these details to contact you at that time. We do not create a meeting link and we do not send automatic confirmation emails.
  • •Job applications. When you apply on our careers page we store your name, email, optional phone and message, and the CV you upload (PDF, DOC or DOCX). CVs are kept privately and are visible only to our admin team.
  • •Anonymous usage statistics. We use a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics tool (Umami) to see page views, referring sites, browser, device type and approximate country. It does not use cookies to identify you and does not track you across other websites.
  • •Server logs. Our web server records technical data such as IP address, requested page and browser. Logs are kept for about 30 days for security and troubleshooting.
  • •Advertising data. Once we display ads, Google and its advertising partners may collect and use data (including cookie identifiers) to serve and measure ads. See section 4.
  • •Preferences in your browser. We store your chosen language in your browser's local storage so we can remember it. This stays on your device.

3. How We Use Data

  • •To reply to your enquiries, contact you about calls you booked, consider job applications, and send what you request (such as a PDF download).
  • •To understand which content is useful and to improve the site.
  • •To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
  • •To show advertising that helps fund the free content.

We do not sell your personal data for money.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, manage personalised ads at adssettings.google.com, or opt out of many third-party ad vendors at aboutads.info.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we use a Google-certified consent message so that ads that rely on cookies or similar identifiers are shown according to your choice. You can change your choice at any time using the privacy settings link or message shown on the site.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

See our Cookie Policy for the full list, what each one does and how to control them.

6. Third Parties

We do not embed social media widgets. Share buttons and the social icons in our footer are plain links that take you to X, LinkedIn or YouTube, which have their own privacy policies. Fonts and images are served from our own domain.

Providers that may process data on our behalf or receive it directly from your browser: our hosting provider, Google (advertising), and the hosting that runs Viral Pulse Studio (app.viralpulse.co.in), where enquiries, bookings and applications are stored. Links to other websites are outside our control.

7. Legal Bases and International Transfers

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on your consent (advertising cookies), our legitimate interests (security, anonymous statistics, running and improving the site) and, for enquiries, taking steps you ask for before a contract.

Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.

8. How Long We Keep Data

  • •Enquiries, booked calls and download requests: up to 12 months, unless we are working together.
  • •Job applications and CVs: up to 12 months after the role is filled or the application is received.
  • •Server logs: about 30 days.
  • •Anonymous analytics: aggregated statistics are kept as long as they are useful.
  • •Advertising cookies: as set by Google, typically up to 13 months.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and the California Consumer Privacy Act) you may have the right to access, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a data protection authority.

To exercise a right, or to have a booking, enquiry or application deleted, email hello@viralpulse.co.in. We may need to verify your identity. California residents: we do not sell personal information for money; some advertising activity may count as "sharing" under California law and you can opt out through the Google tools above.

10. Children's Privacy

The site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, email hello@viralpulse.co.in and we will delete it.
