Effective date: 11 September 2025
This GDPR Privacy Notice explains how TrendyBlogSpot collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when individuals in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom visit or interact with our website. Readers outside these regions can also rely on this page to understand our core privacy practices. Where local rules require stronger protection, we apply the rule that gives you the greater level of control.
Who we are
TrendyBlogSpot is an India-based editorial website focused on automobiles. For personal data collected through this site, TrendyBlogSpot is the data controller. You can reach our privacy team at privacy@trendyblogspot.com. Our mailing address is TrendyBlogSpot Legal, Next to Mega Mall, Andheri Link Road Extension, Andheri (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra 400102, India. If we appoint an EU or UK representative under Article 27, we will add their contact details here so that individuals in those regions have a local point of contact.
Scope of this notice
This notice applies to personal data that we collect when you access or use trendyblogspot.com and any pages that we operate under that domain. It does not cover third party websites or services that we reference in our articles. Those third parties have their own privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing information with them or using their services.
Personal data we collect
You may provide personal data directly when you send a message through a form or by email, when you request corrections, or when you publish a comment. Typical information in these cases includes your name, your email address, the subject of your message, and the content you write. When businesses contact us about advertising or partnerships, we may process a company name, a role title, and proposal details that the sender provides.
Certain information is collected automatically while you browse the site. This includes IP address, device and browser type, operating system, language preference, approximate location derived from the IP address, pages viewed, time spent on a page, referring pages, interactions with on page elements, and basic error diagnostics. We also use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and to measure performance. In the EEA and the UK, non essential cookies operate only after you provide consent through a clear choice.
We also receive information from service partners who help us operate the site. Analytics providers supply aggregated audience and performance insights. Advertising and affiliate partners may process pseudonymous identifiers that help measure ad delivery and qualifying purchases. In the EEA and the UK, these activities take place only after you have consented.
How and why we use personal data and the legal bases
We process personal data to operate and improve the website, to respond to messages, to moderate comments and protect community safety, to measure what readers find useful, to support advertising and affiliate programs that fund our work, and to comply with legal obligations. Operating and improving the site includes page delivery, security, prevention of abuse, and troubleshooting. Responding to messages lets us answer questions and provide support with appropriate context. Moderation helps us enforce our Terms of Use and maintain a respectful environment. Measurement helps us decide which guides need updates or deeper coverage. Advertising and affiliate activity provides revenue that allows us to keep access to content free while maintaining editorial independence.
Under the GDPR we rely on several lawful bases. Our legitimate interests cover running a secure and useful service, moderating content, preventing misuse, and improving the site. When you ask for help and we agree to provide a specific service, processing may be necessary for the performance of a contract. For analytics, advertising, and other non essential cookies in the EEA and the UK, we rely on your consent. When the law requires it, we process data to comply with legal obligations.
Cookies and consent
Cookies and similar tools help the site remember your preferences, keep sessions secure, and measure performance. On your first visit from the EEA or the UK you will see a banner that asks you to choose whether to allow analytics and advertising cookies. You can withdraw that choice at any time using the same controls that were offered during consent. Strictly necessary cookies that support security and core functionality generally do not require consent. If you block or delete cookies in your browser, some features may work differently.
Sharing of personal data
We do not sell personal data. We share information only with parties that help us operate the site or when the law requires it. Service providers support hosting, security, content delivery, email, analytics, and consent management. Advertising and affiliate partners process identifiers after consent in the EEA and the UK so that frequency capping, fraud prevention, and conversion measurement can function. We may share information with legal or regulatory bodies when we are required to do so or when necessary to protect our rights and the rights of others. If we consider a business change such as a merger or acquisition, data may be reviewed under confidentiality safeguards. We require recipients to handle personal data according to appropriate privacy and security obligations.
International transfers
We operate in India and may use providers located in other countries. You can request information about these safeguards by writing to privacy@trendyblogspot.com.
Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected. Contact messages are retained for a limited period so we can maintain support history and improve service quality. Comments remain available while they are published and may be removed upon request subject to our moderation policy. Server and security logs are kept for a short period to support security and troubleshooting. Analytics and advertising identifiers are retained according to the preferences you select in our consent tool. Aggregated analytics that no longer identify a person may be kept to study long term trends.
How we protect information
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. These safeguards include access controls, encryption in transit, least privilege access, routine software updates, and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. We work to reduce risk and will respond promptly if we identify a security issue that affects your data.
Your rights under the GDPR
If you are in the EEA or the UK you have rights over your personal data. You can request access to the information we hold about you. You can ask us to restrict certain processing in specific situations. You can request a portable copy of personal data that you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format and you can ask us to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible. You can object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests including profiling related to those interests. You can withdraw cookie and marketing consent at any time using the same controls that were used to give it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue quickly.
How to exercise your rights
To make a GDPR request, email privacy@trendyblogspot.com with enough information for us to identify you and to locate your data. Tell us which rights you wish to exercise and describe your interaction with our site so that we can find the relevant records. We may ask you to verify your identity to protect your privacy.
Children’s privacy
Our content is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. If you believe that we collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, contact privacy@trendyblogspot.com and we will investigate the matter and delete data where the law requires us to do so.
Automated decision making
We do not use automated decision making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. If this changes in the future, we will update this notice and provide the information required by law before starting any such processing.
Third party content and services
Our articles sometimes mention products or services that are provided by third parties. Those parties have their own privacy practices. Before engaging with them, review their policies because we do not control their content or how they handle personal data.
