What this site collects, and why.

A plain description of what this website collects and why. Short, because the site does very little.

What we collect

Two things, and only two.

Contact form submissions. When you send us a message we store the name you give, the email address or phone number you give, the message itself, the time it was sent, and your browser's user-agent string. The user-agent helps us reproduce display problems people report. We do not store your IP address.

Analytics, only if you agree. If you accept cookies we load Google Analytics, which records anonymous usage — which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, what kind of device they use. If you decline, none of it loads at all; the code is never even downloaded. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which makes the banner reappear.

What we don't collect

No account, no password, no payment details, no location, no advertising or cross-site tracking, and no IP logging in our own records. Until you accept the banner, this site sets no cookies whatsoever.

Where it goes

Messages are stored in Google Cloud Firestore in the Mumbai (asia-south1) region, and the site is served from Firebase Hosting. Both are Google services, so Google processes this data on our behalf. Analytics data, if you consent, goes to Google Analytics.

Nobody can read the message collection through the website — submissions are write-only from the browser, and only our team can read them through authenticated administrative access.

How long we keep it

Contact messages are kept while they are useful to the conversation they belong to. If you would like yours deleted, email contact.gnepal@gmail.com and we will remove it.

Getting in touch

Questions about any of this, or a request to see or delete what we hold about you, go to contact.gnepal@gmail.com. Gnepal Group, Kathmandu, Nepal.
