Privacy Policy

Last updated: [30 July 2025]

Welcome to FST Accelerator Private Limited (“Aathvan,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can exercise your rights.

Plain‑English promise: No endless legal labyrinths here—just the essentials, in everyday language. If anything feels unclear, email publish@aathvan.com and we’ll walk you through it.

  • Fill out a Contact Us form or preorder form;

  • Make a purchase;

  • Interact with us on social media and allow us to view that content (e.g., tagging @aathvan_games).

Each third party is bound by confidentiality and data‑protection obligations.
