Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is run by TCG Media Limited, New Delhi, publisher of L'Officiel India, FHM India, TransREporter and Diabetic Living India. We decide why and how your personal data is used.

What we collect, and why

• Reading online: issues open with a gift code. We do not ask for your name, email or mobile number to read, and online payment is not offered at present.
• Gift codes: only the code you enter. A random number kept in the library cookie lets us count each reader once; we do not ask for your name or mobile number.
• Media kit requests: your name, company, email, mobile and campaign details, so our ad sales team can reply.
• Job applications: the details, CV and work samples you send, so our HR team can consider you for a role.
• Contact messages: your name, email, mobile, message and any files or links, so the right team can reply.
• Security: the security check and the code we email you protect these forms from misuse.

We use your data only for the purpose you gave it for. We do not sell it, and we do not send you marketing messages unless you ask for them.

Payments

We do not take payments on this website at present. If we add online payment, it will be handled by a payment provider, and we will not see or store your card or bank details.

Who we share it with

Only with the companies that run services for us, such as website hosting and email delivery, and only so they can provide those services. We may also share data where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Job applications, with CVs and work samples, are deleted automatically from our systems 365 days after we receive them, and our team deletes the email copies on the same schedule.
• Media kit requests and contact messages, with any files attached, are deleted automatically from our systems 2 years after we receive them.
• Gift codes: the issues a code opened are remembered in your browser for 30 days after you type it. We do not ask for or keep your name, email or mobile number for this; the magazine counts each code's use without any personal data.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, correct it, or have it erased, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent may mean we can no longer give you access to the digital library. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

To use these rights, or to raise a complaint, write to us at info@tcg.media.

Age

The digital library is for people aged 18 or over.

Cookies and storage

We store a small amount of information in your browser: the issues a gift code has opened, your cookie choice, and, while you fill in a form, a temporary session cookie for the security check and the email code. We do not use advertising cookies. The map on our Contact page is provided by Google, which may set its own cookies when it loads.

This website uses Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC, to count visits and see which pages are read. Google Analytics uses cookies and receives your IP address and details of your browser and device. Visitors in Europe are asked first, and from 30 April 2027 every visitor is asked: Google Analytics loads only if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie bar, and “Reject all” keeps it off (the site works the same either way). Your choice is kept in your browser for six months, and you can change it at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. You can also stop Analytics with Google's opt-out add-on for your browser: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The digital library sets one essential cookie that remembers a gift code you have redeemed, for 30 days. It holds no personal details.
