Privacy Policy
Written in plain language — no legal jargon. This policy explains what we collect, why, how we protect it, and your rights. Short version: we only collect what we need, and we never sell your data.
The short version:“We only collect what we need to run Delta ARBIM and respond to your enquiries. We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. Your IFC files are encrypted and isolated. You can ask us to delete everything at any time.”
Who we are
Delta ARBIM is a product of Shivlam, a technology company based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. When this policy refers to 'Delta ARBIM', 'we', 'us', or 'our', it means Shivlam and the Delta ARBIM platform.
