This Privacy Policy outlines how Techlabs ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the https://tech-lab.co website ("Site"). This policy is designed to comply with the data protection regulations of India and key Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At Techlabs, we are committed to equipping you with the best digital tools and guidance. A critical part of this commitment is protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect and use it. We adhere to the principles of Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T), and this extends to our handling of your data. Our goal is to be a trusted resource, and that trust begins with respecting your privacy.
2. What Personal Information We Collect and Why
We may collect personal identification information from Users in various ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register for a newsletter, fill out a form for our services, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our Site.
a. Information You Provide to Us:
Contact Information: When you subscribe to our newsletter, use our "Contact Us" form, or inquire about our services like "Tool set up" or "Rent a specialist", we may collect your name and email address. We use this information to respond to your inquiries, send you periodic emails for which you have subscribed, and provide the services you have requested.
Information for Services: If you engage with our "Rent a specialist" or "Strategy creation" services, we may collect additional information necessary to provide those services, which will be detailed in a separate service agreement.
b. Information We Collect Automatically:
Log and Usage Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site. This may include your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. We use this information for website analytics to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on our Site, which helps us improve our content and user experience.
3. Use of Cookies
Our Site uses "cookies" to enhance User experience. A User's web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them.
What Cookies We Use:
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site (e.g., Google Analytics).
Functional Cookies: These enable enhanced functionality and personalization.
Advertising/Tracking Cookies: These cookies are used by us and our affiliate partners to track your clicks on affiliate links. This is necessary to ensure we receive proper credit for referrals and to analyze the performance of our affiliate partnerships.
Your Consent: In compliance with regulations in India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023) and Southeast Asia (e.g., Singapore's PDPA, Thailand's PDPA), we will obtain your explicit and informed consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject different categories of cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through our cookie settings panel.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is a cornerstone of our E-E-A-T principles. Our Site is funded in part through affiliate marketing. This means that when you click on links to various tools and services on our Site and make a purchase, this can result in a commission that is credited to this site.
Clear and Conspicuous Disclosure: We are committed to being upfront about our affiliate relationships. In line with guidelines from bodies like India's Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) and global best practices, we will clearly disclose the presence of affiliate links on any page where they appear. This disclosure will be placed in a prominent position, such as at the top of a blog post or near the relevant link, to ensure you are aware of the commercial relationship before you click.
Our Unbiased Approach: Our affiliate partnerships do not influence the integrity of our reviews and recommendations. Our "How We Review Tools" page details our rigorous and unbiased evaluation process. Our primary goal is to provide you with the best guidance, and our editorial content is not dictated by affiliate commissions. We strive to recommend tools that we genuinely believe will provide value to our users. We use rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attributes for our affiliate links as recommended by search engines to maintain transparency.
5. How We Protect Your Information
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on our Site. This includes measures like using HTTPS for secure data transmission.

We will only share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes for which you have given us permission.
Affiliate Partners: When you click on an affiliate link, information such as your IP address and the fact that you came from our site is shared with the affiliate partner through the use of cookies to track the referral. This is essential for the functioning of our business model.
