Privacy Policy

JurisFront is an editorial platform publishing legal commentary and analysis. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal services or legal advice to visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information JurisFront ("we", "us", "this site") collects through jurisfront.in, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

We collect information directly from you in three places on this site:

  • Newsletter: the email address you enter to subscribe to updates.
  • Contact form: the name, email address, subject and message you submit through our Contact page.
  • Submit a Blog: the details you provide through our Submit a Blog page to propose an article for publication.

Beyond these, we do not operate account registration, comments, or any other form on this site that collects personal information from visitors.

Newsletter Subscriptions (MailerLite)

The "Stay Informed" newsletter form on our homepage is provided by MailerLite, a third-party email marketing service. When you enter your email address and submit the form, it is sent directly to and processed by MailerLite on our behalf.

Subscribing is entirely optional and based on your consent. Depending on how our MailerLite account is configured, you may be sent a confirmation email and asked to click a link in it before your subscription becomes active (double opt-in); if so, no newsletter emails are sent to an address until that confirmation step is completed.

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time. For details of how MailerLite itself handles subscriber data, see MailerLite's Privacy Policy.

Contact Form

Information you submit through the Contact form (your name, email address, subject and message) is sent as an email, using the standard WordPress mail function on our web hosting infrastructure (Hostinger), to the email address JurisFront has configured to receive Contact form messages. It is not stored in a database on this site — it exists only as that email, in the recipient's mailbox.

Submit a Blog Submissions

When you submit an article through the Submit a Blog page, we collect:

  • your full name;
  • your email address;
  • your contact number (optional);
  • your institution or organisation (optional);
  • your course or designation (optional);
  • your LinkedIn profile URL (optional);
  • the title, category, abstract and full text of the article you submit; and
  • a cover image, if you choose to upload one.

A submission is saved on this site as a pending post, with your contact details attached to it, so that a JurisFront editor can review it. It is never published automatically — an editor reviews every submission and decides whether, and in what form, to publish it. Any cover image you upload is stored in the site's media library. We use your contact details only to correspond with you about your submission (for example, to request changes or confirm publication), not for any other purpose.

Automatically Collected Technical Information

Like most websites, this site runs on WordPress and is hosted by Hostinger, which automatically log basic technical information for every visitor as part of ordinary web server operation — such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, and the date and time of the request. This information is used for operating, securing and troubleshooting the site (for example, identifying and blocking abusive traffic), and is not used to build advertising profiles.

For details of how our hosting provider handles this information, see Hostinger's Privacy Policy.

Cookies

This site's own code does not set advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and we have not installed any analytics or advertising tool (such as Google Analytics or a social media pixel) on this site. The cookies or similar browser storage that are present come from:

  • WordPress itself, for core site functionality (for example, keeping a site administrator logged in);
  • the MailerLite newsletter form embedded in the “Stay Informed” section, which may use cookies or similar technology (including Google reCAPTCHA, which MailerLite uses to prevent automated spam subscriptions) to operate the subscription form and, where applicable, measure email engagement — see MailerLite's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy; and
  • Google Fonts, used to load this site’s typefaces, which as an inherent part of serving a web font receives limited technical request information (such as your IP address) from Google’s servers — see Google's Privacy Policy.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how some parts of this site, such as the newsletter form, work.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above only to:

  • send newsletter updates to subscribers who have opted in, and manage that subscription;
  • respond to messages sent through the Contact form;
  • review, correspond about, and where accepted, edit and publish Submit a Blog contributions;
  • operate, secure and troubleshoot the website; and
  • comply with applicable law, or respond to a lawful request from a public authority.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or advertising, and we do not sell personal information.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only with the service providers necessary to run this website, each acting on our behalf and for the purposes described in this policy:

  • MailerLite — processes newsletter subscriber email addresses to deliver our newsletter. MailerLite's Privacy Policy.
  • Hostinger — our web hosting provider, which stores this website’s files, database (including Submit a Blog submissions and their attached contact details) and server logs. Hostinger's Privacy Policy.
  • Google — provides Google Fonts (site typefaces) and, via MailerLite, reCAPTCHA spam protection on the newsletter form. Google's Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose information where required to do so by law, regulation, or a valid order of a court or governmental authority.

Data Retention

  • Newsletter: MailerLite retains your email address for as long as you remain subscribed, and in line with its own retention practices after you unsubscribe.
  • Contact form: your message exists only as an email in the recipient's mailbox, retained for as long as needed to address your inquiry (and thereafter subject to that mailbox's own retention settings).
  • Submit a Blog: your submission and contact details are retained as part of our editorial records — while the submission is under review, after publication (to preserve accurate authorship/contributor records), or until you ask us to remove them and we are able to do so consistently with our editorial and legal obligations.

Data Security

We rely on the security measures built into WordPress and provided by our hosting provider, Hostinger (such as HTTPS encryption for data submitted through this site's forms), and we do not store payment card, government ID, or similarly sensitive information anywhere on this website. That said, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Indian Data Protection Law

We aim to handle personal information collected through this site consistently with the principles of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 — including collecting information only for the purposes stated here, seeking your consent where it is the basis for processing (as with the newsletter), and offering you a way to exercise your rights over your own information. This statement describes our current practices and intentions; it is not a certification of compliance, and elements of that framework are still coming into force and may affect our obligations over time. We will update this policy as our practices, or the applicable legal requirements, change.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on the information involved, you may ask us to:

  • confirm what information of yours we (or MailerLite, on our behalf) hold;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • delete information you have provided, subject to any legitimate editorial or legal reason we may have to retain it (for example, a published article's authorship record); and
  • withdraw consent for the newsletter at any time, which you can do instantly using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email.

To exercise any of these choices for the Contact form or Submit a Blog information, please write to us through our Contact page, describing your request; we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general adult and professional audience interested in legal commentary, and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site.

External Links

Articles and pages on this site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information to them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect a change in how this site works or in applicable law. The "Effective Date" below will be updated whenever we do.

Grievances and Contact

If you have a question, concern, or grievance about how this site handles your information, please contact us through our Contact page.

Effective Date

This Privacy Policy is effective as of 22 September 2026.
