1. Who we are
Sovereign Global Compute ("SGC") publishes compute-market research, data and financing intelligence at sovereignglobalcompute.com. For anything in this policy, contact info@sovereignglobalcompute.com. SGC is the data fiduciary under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act") and, where EU or UK law applies to a visitor, the controller under the GDPR.
2. The design principle
The Site is static. It has no accounts, no form database, no advertising, and no backend that stores what you type. The two submission tools on the Site (rate submissions and compute requests) compose an email in your own mail client; nothing is transmitted to us until you choose to send that email. Privacy-first analytics loads only after you choose Allow in the consent banner. If you decline, no analytics code loads at all.
3. What we collect
Server logs. Our web host records standard logs when you visit: IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, referrer, and timestamps. We use these to operate and secure the service.
Consented analytics. After you choose Allow, Cloudflare Web Analytics records aggregate page views, visits, and performance signals such as loading and responsiveness metrics. It is designed to be cookie-free and does not provide us with names, email addresses, session recordings, or cross-site identity profiles. We use it to understand which research is read and whether the Site works well.
Correspondence. If you email us — directly, or via the rate-submission or request-compute tools — we receive whatever you chose to include: typically your name, work email, firm, and the commercial details of your submission or request.
4. Why we use it, and the legal bases
We process server logs to keep the Site secure and diagnose faults (legitimate interests under GDPR; legitimate uses under the DPDP Act). We process analytics on your consent alone. We process correspondence to respond to you, verify submitted market data, arrange requested introductions, and manage a business relationship (performance of steps you requested, and legitimate interests). We do not use your data for automated decisions with legal effect, and we do not sell it.
5. Submitted market data
Rates and commercial terms you submit are business information, but they arrive attached to a person: your name and work email. We separate the two. The commercial data is verified, normalised and folded into published market ranges; our default is anonymisation, and attribution to your firm appears only with written approval. Your identity and contact details are kept in correspondence records for verification and follow-up, never published. Compute requests and financing enquiries are treated as confidential business correspondence and shared with potential counterparties only with your consent.
6. What we do not do
No sale of personal data. No advertising networks, behavioural advertising, cross-site profiling or data brokers. No tracking before consent. No collection of children's data: the Site is a professional research service and is not directed at anyone under 18.
7. Retention
Analytics data is retained for 14 months. Server logs are kept only as long as reasonably required for security and operations. Correspondence is kept while the relevant relationship, verification, legal need or recordkeeping purpose continues, then deleted or anonymised. Anonymised market data, once folded into published ranges, is retained indefinitely; it no longer relates to you.
8. Cookies and local storage
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
sgc-consent | Local-storage record of whether you allowed or declined analytics. Not an analytics cookie. | Until you clear browser site data |
| None | Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookie-free. The consent choice remains in local storage. | See sgc-consent |
To withdraw consent, clear this site's browser data and choose Decline when the banner reappears.
9. Your rights
Under the DPDP Act you may request access to your personal data, correction, erasure, and a means of grievance redressal; you may nominate a person to exercise these rights for you. Where GDPR applies, you additionally have rights to restriction, portability, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests, and you may complain to a supervisory authority. Either way, the mechanics are the same here: email info@sovereignglobalcompute.com with enough detail to identify the relevant correspondence. We may ask for proportionate verification of identity. If you are dissatisfied with our response, say so and we will escalate the review; DPDP grievances not resolved by us may be taken to the Data Protection Board of India.
10. International transfers
Our hosting, email and analytics providers may process data outside your country of residence, including outside India and the EEA. Where a transfer mechanism is legally required we rely on the safeguards offered by the relevant provider, such as standard contractual clauses.
11. Changes
We will update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. The current version, with its last-updated date, always lives at this address.
