Privacy Policy
Effective date: 7 September 2026
FutureCentral (“we”, “us”) is operated by Austin PM, trading as FutureCentral, in India. This policy explains what information we collect on futurecentral.in, why we use it, who may process it for us, and the choices available to you. It applies to this website only. Websites linked from FutureCentral, including the specialist publications in FutureCentral Intelligence, have their own privacy policies.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you contact us, request information, or subscribe to FutureCentral Briefings, we collect the details needed to respond or provide the service, such as your name, email address, message, and newsletter preferences.
Account and transaction information. If account registration or paid products are introduced on this website, we may collect account, order, billing, and transaction-reference information. Card and UPI credentials will be handled by the relevant payment provider rather than stored by FutureCentral.
Course information. FutureCentral Academy courses are delivered through Moodle or another clearly identified learning platform. Information collected on that platform is governed by the privacy notice shown there. FutureCentral.in does not presently operate the learning-management system itself.
Technical and analytics information. Our hosting service receives standard server logs, which can include IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, and security events. With your consent where required, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits, traffic sources, page use, and broad device and location information. Google states that IP addresses are used for location derivation and discarded before the data is logged in Google Analytics.
Cookies and your choices
Necessary cookies support essential functions such as security, signed-in sessions, and remembering your consent preferences. CookieYes provides the consent banner and uses the cookieyes-consent cookie to remember your choices. The WordPress Consent API shares those choices with compatible site components.
Optional analytics cookies are used only according to the choice you make in the banner. Google Consent Mode communicates that choice to Google tags so their behaviour can adjust accordingly. You can accept, reject, or customise optional cookies and change your decision later through the Consent Preferences control. We do not currently use advertising cookies on this website.
How we use information
We use information to respond to enquiries, deliver the briefings you request, secure and maintain the website, understand which content is useful, and support transactions or services you choose to use. Where applicable, we rely on your consent, the need to provide a requested service, compliance with legal obligations, or our legitimate interest in operating and protecting the website.
We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for their own marketing. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe option.
Service providers
We use service providers for website hosting and security, email delivery, analytics, consent management, and—if paid products are introduced—payment processing. Google Site Kit connects this website to Google Analytics 4. CookieYes and the WordPress Consent API manage and communicate cookie-consent preferences. Each provider receives only the information needed for its role and processes information under its own terms and privacy commitments. Some providers may process information outside India; where required, we use appropriate safeguards for those transfers.
How long we keep information
Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Enquiries and correspondence are kept only as long as reasonably needed to respond and maintain necessary records. Analytics information is retained for the period configured in Google Analytics and may then be deleted or aggregated. Transaction records, if any, are kept for the period required by tax, accounting, and other applicable laws.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask what personal data we hold about you, request correction or erasure, withdraw consent, unsubscribe from communications, or raise a concern about our handling of your information. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Send privacy requests to hello@futurecentral.in. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request and will respond within the period required by applicable law.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
FutureCentral is intended for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through this site, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Links to other websites
FutureCentral links to specialist publications, learning platforms, stores, and other external services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which you should review when leaving this website.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services, technology, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised. We will provide additional notice where a material change requires it.
