Let’s be honest—this privacy policy won’t compete with the thrilling content elsewhere on our site. It lacks plot twists, character development, and definitely won’t make you laugh out loud. However, while we enjoy poking fun at legal documents, we must emphasize that your privacy is no joking matter. This policy outlines exactly how we handle your information—what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. Take some time and delve deep into these important details that govern how we respect and safeguard your digital footprint on our site. Boring? Perhaps. Essential? Absolutely.
We also have a dedicated page that explains our terms and conditions that explains everything in detail. Please feel free to browse the Terms & Conditions page for more information.
At KERALA.GLOBAL, accessible from https://kerala.global/, transparency is at the heart of what we do, and the privacy of our visitors is one of our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect, how we record it, and the ways we use it. We believe in being clear and open about our data practices so you can make informed decisions when using our website. If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our contact page.
KERALA.GLOBAL employs standard log file procedures, a common practice across hosting services. When visitors access our website, these files automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, including:
This information is not linked to personally identifiable data. We analyze this information to identify usage trends, administer the site effectively, track user navigation patterns, and gather demographic insights to enhance your experience.
Additionally, KERALA.GLOBAL utilizes Facebook Pixels and Google Analytics tracking technologies. These tools may collect data about your browsing behavior on our site for the purpose of re-targeting advertisements to you on other websites and platforms. This enables us to provide more relevant content and offers based on your demonstrated interests.
KERALA.GLOBAL uses ‘cookies’ to enhance your browsing experience and analyze site usage. These small text files store information about your preferences and site interactions, helping us customize content based on your browser type and behavior. We also employ third-party tracking technologies, including Facebook Pixels and Google Analytics, which collect data for re-targeting advertisements on other platforms based on your demonstrated interests. While essential cookies ensure basic website functionality, non-essential cookies help us improve our services. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our Cookie Preferences Center, though disabling certain cookies may limit site functionality. Transparency is central to our approach, and we respect your right to control your data in accordance with applicable regulations.
At Kerala.Global, we take user privacy and legal compliance extremely seriously. We use Google AdSense, provided by Google LLC (a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.), as our sole third-party advertising platform. We have chosen to partner exclusively with Google due to their industry-leading commitment to user privacy, security, and billions of dollars invested in privacy-preserving advertising technologies.
Importantly, we have implemented Google AdSense’s native consent management system, which means all consent-related interactions and privacy preference data are transmitted directly between users’ browsers and Google’s secure servers without passing through our systems.
Kerala.Global does not collect, store, or have access to users’ individual consent choices – these are handled exclusively within Google’s certified privacy infrastructure. Our implementation ensures full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, as well as US state privacy regulations including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA).
Before any personalized advertising occurs, users from applicable regions receive a clear consent notice through Google’s native system, providing meaningful choice to accept or decline personalized advertising and data processing. When users consent, Google AdSense may collect information such as IP addresses, cookie identifiers, and browsing behavior to serve relevant advertisements through their secure, audited infrastructure.
Users who decline consent still see advertisements, but these are non-personalized and contextual. We use Google Consent Mode v2, which has been recognized by privacy regulators as a best-practice solution. Users can modify their consent choices at any time through Google’s interface, with updates transmitted directly to Google. Google AdSense is the only advertising platform on our website where user data is collected and processed, and we do not share data with any other advertisers or networks.
By utilizing Google’s native consent management system, we ensure users’ privacy preferences are handled by a company with proven expertise in data security and legal compliance. Kerala.Global’s commitment to transparent data practices, combined with Google’s direct consent management infrastructure and industry-leading privacy standards, ensures both our users and advertising partners can trust we operate with the highest standards of privacy compliance and respect for user rights.
At KERALA.GLOBAL, we believe communication is essential to providing quality service. When you engage with our website, you consent to receive communications from us via email, telephone, postal mail, or other delivery methods relevant to our services.
We prioritize transparency and respect your control over your data. Your communications may be processed and stored on secure third-party servers, including those operated by Amazon and Google, which maintain rigorous security standards to protect your information.
The emails you receive from us may include:
Every marketing email we send includes a clearly visible unsubscribe link in the footer, allowing you to opt out with a single click. We honor all unsubscribe requests promptly and maintain records of your communication preferences as required by applicable data protection regulations.
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. To exercise these rights or modify your communication preferences, please contact us through our contact page.
We will never sell, rent, or transfer your email address to unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
At KERALA.GLOBAL, we prioritize security and transparency in how we handle your phone number information. We collect phone numbers for two primary purposes:
1. Account Security: To verify your identity and protect against automated bots during account creation and access
2. Authorized Communications: To provide service-related information and promotional content we believe offers value to you
We employ rigorous verification standards and never add your phone number to any marketing list without explicit confirmation through either:
All text messages comply with applicable regulations, including respecting quiet hours (8:00 AM to 9:00 PM in your time zone) and providing clear opt-out instructions. Every promotional message includes simple unsubscribe instructions, typically by replying “STOP.”
Your message frequency preferences can be modified at any time through your account settings or by following the instructions in any text you receive from us.
Currently, we utilize TWILIO INC. as our third-party service provider to securely process and transmit text messages. All service providers we engage with maintain strict security standards to protect your information in compliance with industry regulations.
At KERALA.GLOBAL, your financial security is our highest priority. We never store complete financial information but only tokenized data with last 4 digits visible to you alone. All card transactions are processed through STRIPE, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor trusted by global brands, with all transactions processed in US Dollars (USD).
We offer multiple payment options including Zelle (US), Interac (Canada), US bank direct transfers, USD Cashier’s Cheques, Certified Cheques, and business account cheques (personal checks are not accepted). Our system employs real-time fraud detection and regular security audits, while adhering to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards to maintain rigorous security controls. We implement these stringent security measures not just for compliance, but to earn and maintain your trust.
