Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 12, 2026Factory Investigator collects only the information needed to operate and protect the publication. The site is currently in a pre-launch, noindex state. Public message, investigation-request, and newsletter-subscription delivery is disabled until those systems are configured and tested.
Information We Collect
When public forms and subscriptions are opened, we may collect information you choose to submit, such as your name, work email, company, website URL, industry, and enquiry details. Those collection paths are disabled during pre-launch.
Hosting, security, and content-delivery providers may process standard technical information such as IP address, requested URL, browser details, timestamps, and security events in ordinary server and protection logs.
How We Use Information
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
- Respond to enquiries and requested website investigations after those forms open.
- Send newsletters or updates only after subscriptions open and you choose to subscribe.
- Prevent abuse and protect the website.
- Meet legal and operational obligations.
Analytics and Cookies
Factory Investigator does not currently load Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, advertising pixels, or similar optional analytics tags. WordPress, Hostinger, LiteSpeed, and Cloudflare may use essential technical storage or security mechanisms needed to deliver and protect the site.
This policy and any required consent controls will be updated before optional analytics or advertising tools are enabled.
Service Providers
The current website uses WordPress, Hostinger hosting, LiteSpeed, and Cloudflare for website delivery, caching, security, and operations. FormSubmit is present in disabled pre-launch forms but those forms cannot currently be submitted. Additional providers will be listed here before their tools are enabled.
Your Choices and Rights
After email subscriptions open, you may unsubscribe using the method provided in the email. You may also request access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate operational requirements.
Contact
Until the Factory Investigator mailbox opens, privacy questions can be sent to Mahesh Sirvi through LinkedIn. The dedicated privacy contact will be added before public launch.
