For privacy questions or requests, email sumitabhroy15@gmail.com.

1. Information You Provide

General contact enquiries

When you contact us through the website, we collect the details you submit, such as your name, email address, phone number and message.

Podcast guest enquiries

When you express interest in joining Saying Unsaid with Sumitabh Roy, we collect the information you submit, which may include:

  • Name and email address.
  • Current role or organization.
  • Proposed conversation topic.
  • Your experience and what listeners could learn from it.
  • LinkedIn profile or professional website.
  • Previous interview, podcast or speaking links.
  • Phone number, if provided.

Please submit only information relevant to your enquiry. Avoid including sensitive personal details, confidential material or another person’s information without authority.

2. Technical Information and Cookies

Website hosting and security systems may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, access times and error logs to operate and protect the website.

Embedded YouTube content may allow YouTube or Google to receive technical information and use cookies or similar technologies, depending on how the content loads and your settings.

You can manage cookies through your browser. Where non-essential technologies require consent, they should operate only after the relevant consent is obtained through the website’s controls.

3. Why We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

  • Responding to professional enquiries.
  • Reviewing podcast guest proposals.
  • Communicating about possible participation or collaboration.
  • Arranging agreed follow-up discussions.
  • Maintaining relevant correspondence.
  • Operating, securing and troubleshooting the website.
  • Meeting applicable legal obligations.

We do not treat an enquiry as permission to send unrelated marketing communications.

4. Consent and Your Choices

Where we rely on consent, we request it for the stated purpose. You may withdraw that consent by emailing sumitabhroy15@gmail.com.

Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully. It may prevent us from continuing to handle your enquiry where the relevant information is necessary.

Simply visiting the website does not constitute consent to unrelated marketing or podcast publication.

5. Access and Sharing

Information may be accessed by Sumitabh and authorized people assisting with enquiries, podcast coordination or website administration.

Hosting, email, form and technical support providers may process information as necessary to provide their services. Development or maintenance providers may access information only where needed for their authorized work.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to investigate misuse, protect legal rights or address security incidents.

We do not sell information submitted through enquiry forms.

6. Processing Outside Your Country

Email, hosting and other service providers may process information outside your country of residence. Any such processing must follow applicable legal requirements and relevant service-provider arrangements.

7. Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry, complete agreed follow-up or meet applicable legal requirements.

Information no longer required will be deleted or anonymized. Backup copies may remain until the relevant backup cycle expires and should not be used for ordinary business purposes.

Separate retention arrangements may apply to confirmed podcast participation and any recording or publication agreement.

8. Your Privacy Requests

You may email us to:

  • Request information about how your personal information is handled.
  • Request access to or correction of information you provided.
  • Request deletion of information no longer needed.
  • Withdraw consent where processing relies on it.
  • Raise a privacy complaint.

We will handle requests in accordance with applicable law. Identity verification may be necessary before information is disclosed or changed.

If information must be retained for a lawful reason, we will explain that reason where permitted.

These contact options do not limit any rights or complaint routes available under applicable law.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss or disclosure.

No website, email system or online transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

10. Children’s Information

This website is intended for professional audiences and is not directed at children.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so that we can review and address it. Any participation involving a minor requires separate arrangements and applicable parental or guardian authorization.

11. External Platforms

LinkedIn, YouTube and other linked websites operate under their own privacy policies. This policy does not govern information you provide directly to those platforms.

12. Podcast Participation

Guest enquiry information is used to assess and respond to proposals. Submission does not authorize recording, publication or promotional use of your name, image, voice or contribution.

Those permissions will be addressed separately if participation is agreed.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when website features, information-handling practices or applicable requirements change. The latest version will appear here with an updated date.
