Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to drdipanwitabanerjee.com (the "Website"), the personal professional website of Dr. Dipanwita Banerjee. It explains what information is collected when you visit, how it is used, and your choices regarding that information. This Website is informational in nature — it does not offer online appointment booking, patient portals, or medical record storage, so it does not collect or store clinical or health information about you through any form on the site.

2. Information We Collect

The Website does not require you to create an account or submit a contact form to browse it. The following information may be collected automatically or when you choose to reach out:

• Automatically, via analytics tools — pages visited, time on page, scroll depth, approximate location (city/region level, derived from IP address), device and browser type, and referring website.
• When you click to contact us — if you tap "Call", "WhatsApp", or an email link, your device will hand you off to your phone, WhatsApp, or email app. Any information you then share (your name, phone number, or message content) is exchanged directly with Dr. Banerjee's clinical practice through that app or call, and is not collected, stored, or processed by this Website itself.
• When you download a file (for example, the Publications PDF) or click a review or video link — this interaction is logged as an anonymised analytics event.

3. Cookies & Analytics

This Website uses cookies and similar technologies from the following analytics providers to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its content:

• Google Analytics 4 — tracks page views and on-site events (such as clicking to call, opening WhatsApp, or reading a blog post).
• Microsoft Clarity — records anonymised session behaviour (such as scrolling and clicks) and generates heatmaps to help identify usability issues.

These tools do not collect your name, phone number, or health information. This Website does not use advertising or remarketing cookies, and does not run paid advertising campaigns. You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings; doing so will not prevent you from reading the Website, though some analytics features may not function.

4. Third-Party Services

The Website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and relies on the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy: Google (Analytics, Fonts), Microsoft (Clarity), YouTube (for embedded videos), and Google Business Profile (for the linked reviews page). These providers may process data as independent controllers or processors under their respective terms.

5. Data Retention & Security

Analytics data is retained according to each provider's default retention settings (for example, Google Analytics' standard retention period) and is not separately archived by this Website. The Website is served over HTTPS, and standard security headers are applied to reduce the risk of common web vulnerabilities.

6. Your Rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and applicable data protection principles, you may have the right to know what personal data is processed about you, to seek correction, and to raise a grievance. Since this Website does not itself collect or store personal identifiers beyond anonymised analytics, most such requests will concern the third-party analytics providers listed above (Google, Microsoft), whose own privacy dashboards allow opt-outs. For any privacy-related question specific to this Website, contact us using the details in Section 9.

7. Children's Privacy

This Website is intended for general adult audiences seeking information about gynaecological cancer care and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Links to Other Websites

This Website links to external resources — including journal articles, YouTube videos, and CNCI's own channels. This Privacy Policy does not extend to those external sites, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the tools used on this Website or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
