Privacy Policy

Dharohar Publishing LLP (“Dharohar”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors, readers, authors, prospective authors, collaborators, and others who interact with our website. This Privacy Policy explains, in clear terms, how personal information may be collected, used, retained, shared, and protected when you visit our website, contact us, submit material through “Publish With Us”, or otherwise interact with Dharohar.

We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is provided and to handle it with care, transparency, and respect.

Depending on how you interact with Dharohar, we may receive your name, email address, telephone number, professional or author profile, correspondence, manuscript or proposal information, and files or other material you voluntarily submit.

Our website or service providers may also process limited technical information ordinarily generated when a website is accessed, such as browser or device information, IP address, security logs, and basic usage information.

Please do not include sensitive or confidential personal information in a manuscript submission unless it is genuinely necessary for the work or our evaluation of it.

When you submit a manuscript, proposal, synopsis, author profile, sample chapters, or related material, we may use the information and files you provide to receive, administer, evaluate, communicate about, and maintain appropriate records relating to your submission.

Submitting material to Dharohar does not transfer copyright or ownership to Dharohar Publishing LLP. The author or lawful rights holder continues to own the submitted work unless rights are subsequently granted under a separate written publishing or licensing agreement.

Submission does not guarantee review, feedback, acceptance, publication, or a particular response time. Authors should retain their own copies of all submitted material.

We may use information provided to Dharohar to respond to enquiries and correspondence; evaluate manuscript or publishing submissions; communicate with authors, prospective authors, readers, researchers, and collaborators; administer and secure our website and publishing activities; maintain appropriate business and publishing records; improve our services and digital experience; protect our legitimate interests, intellectual property, website, and users; and comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

We do not use submitted manuscripts for unrelated commercial purposes.

Where consent is the appropriate basis for processing personal information, we aim to make the purpose clear at the point of collection and to provide a reasonable way to withdraw that consent. Some information may also need to be processed or retained for legitimate business administration, legal compliance, record-keeping, security, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, as permitted by applicable law.

Dharohar does not sell personal information.

Information may be shared only where reasonably necessary with service providers supporting our website, communications, storage, publishing, or professional activities; with professional advisers where appropriate; where required by law or a competent authority; or where you have authorised such sharing.

Where third parties process information on our behalf, we expect them to apply appropriate confidentiality, security, and data-protection practices consistent with the nature of the information and applicable law.

Our website may use essential cookies or similar technologies required for security, functionality, performance, or basic operation.

If Dharohar introduces non-essential analytics, advertising, profiling, or similar tracking technologies, this Privacy Policy and, where required, the website's consent mechanism will be updated before or when those technologies are used.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, appropriate publishing and business record-keeping, dispute management, security, or applicable legal obligations.

Submission materials that are not taken forward may be deleted or archived in accordance with Dharohar's reasonable publishing and records practices. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the interaction and any continuing legal or business need.

We take reasonable organisational and technical measures intended to protect information under our control against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss. No internet-based transmission or storage system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Subject to applicable law, you may contact Dharohar regarding personal information you have provided to us, including requests relating to access, correction, updating, withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent, or deletion where applicable.

Certain information may need to be retained where required or permitted by law, or for legitimate record-keeping, contractual, security, or dispute-resolution purposes.

The Dharohar website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If a parent or lawful guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorisation, they may contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

The Dharohar website may contain links to independent booksellers, distribution platforms, marketplaces, or other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Dharohar is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of independent third-party services.

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, publishing activities, technology, or applicable legal requirements evolve. The current version and effective date will be displayed on this page.
