Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This policy explains what personal information Quillstones (“we”, “us”) collects through quillstones.com, why, and what you can do about it. We follow India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Who we are. Quillstones is a self-publishing services business in India. You can reach us at contact@quillstones.com or +91 90026 50816.

What we collect

When you fill in a form (quote, manuscript submission or contact): your name, your email address and/or WhatsApp or phone number, and what you tell us. That can include your role, the service you’re interested in, your book’s title, genre, word count and stage, a link to your manuscript, and your message.
When you email, call or WhatsApp us: your contact details and the conversation.
When you browse the site, and only if you click “Accept” on the cookie notice: Google Analytics collects usage data, such as the pages you visit, your approximate location, and your device and browser, using cookies. If you click “Decline”, or don’t choose, Google Analytics doesn’t load.
Your choice on the cookie notice is saved in your browser’s local storage, so we don’t ask again.

We don’t collect payment card details on this website.

Why we use it

To reply to you, prepare a quote and provide the services you ask for.
To understand how the site is used, so we can improve it (Google Analytics, only with your consent).

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t use it for unrelated marketing without your permission.
