Who I am
Muniblogs (muniblogs.com) is run by me, Muni, from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. I’m responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach me at admin@muniblogs.com.
What I collect and why
When you use the contact form
The form sends your name, email address, reason for contact and message to my inbox through FormSubmit (formsubmit.co). I use these details only to reply to you.
When you subscribe to the newsletter
If you sign up for the AC buying checklist, your email address is stored with MailerLite, my email provider, and used to send the checklist and occasional updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
When you leave a comment
WordPress stores the name, email address, website and comment you enter, along with your IP address and browser details to help catch spam. Your email address is never shown publicly. Comments may show your Gravatar picture, which means a coded form of your email address (a hash) is sent to Gravatar, a service run by Automattic.
When you visit
Like every website, my server and its security tools log technical details of each visit, such as your IP address, browser and the pages you request. These logs keep the site secure and working. The services in the next section also collect information about your visit.
I don’t ask for phone numbers, postal addresses or payment details, and I don’t sell products directly.

Sharing
I never sell or rent your personal data. I share it only with the services listed above, which handle it to run the site, or when the law requires it. Some of these services store data outside India, including in the United States and the European Union.
Your rights
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask me for a summary of the personal data I hold about you, ask me to correct or erase it, withdraw consent you’ve given (for example, by unsubscribing), and nominate someone to exercise these rights for you. Visitors from the EU, the UK and other regions have similar rights under their own laws.
Email admin@muniblogs.com and I’ll reply within 30 days. If you’re not satisfied with my answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India or your local data protection authority.
Security
The site uses HTTPS, is kept up to date and is backed up regularly. No website is completely secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect the data I hold.
Children
Muniblogs is written for adults buying appliances. It isn’t aimed at children under 18, and I don’t knowingly collect their personal data. If you think a child has sent me personal data, email me and I’ll delete it.
Links to other websites
Guides link to retailers and other websites, which have their own privacy policies. I’m not responsible for how they handle your data.
Changes to this policy
When I change this policy, I’ll update the date at the top of the page.
