Privacy Policy

This site is small, and so is what it knows about you. This page sets out exactly what I collect, why, and what happens to it.

What I collect

If you order a signed copy, I collect what I need to send you a book and a receipt:

• Your name, delivery address, phone number and email address.
• A record of the order itself — what you bought, when, and what you paid.
• The UPI reference number you give me, or the payment receipt you upload instead. That is how I find your payment in my own account statement.
• An uploaded receipt is stored outside the public part of the website and is not reachable from a browser.
• Anything you ask me to write inside the book.

If you only read the site, I collect far less:

• Standard server records: the pages requested, the time, the browser and a truncated network address. Hosting produces these automatically.
• Anything you choose to put in an email to me.

I never see your card or bank details. You pay through your own UPI app, so the payment happens between your bank and mine. All that reaches this site is the reference number you copy across, which on its own cannot move money.

How I use it

I use what I collect to:

• Take payment, sign your copy and post it to you.
• Reply to you about your order.
• Apply the GeniAnalysis Premium month where an order includes it.
• Keep the accounting and tax records I am required to keep.

I will not add you to a marketing list because you bought a book. If I ever want to email you about something else, I will ask first.

Who I share it with

Only where the order cannot happen otherwise:

• The payment processor, Cashfree Payments, which handles the transaction.
• The courier, which needs your name, address and phone number to deliver.
• GeniAnalysis, if your order includes the Premium month and you want it applied.
• My accountant, and anyone I am legally obliged to tell.

I do not sell your information, and I do not pass it to anyone for their own marketing.

Payments

Payments are processed by Cashfree Payments. When you pay, you are handing your card or UPI details to them under their privacy policy, not to me. All I receive back is confirmation that the payment succeeded and a reference for it.

Cookies

This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies. If the checkout sets a cookie, it is because the payment processor needs it to keep your session together while you pay. You can block cookies in your browser; the site will still read perfectly well, though a payment in progress may not.

How long I keep it

Order records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires, which in India is several years. Emails are kept while they are useful and deleted when they are not. Server logs are short-lived and overwritten by the host.

Your rights

Write to me and I will tell you what I hold about you, correct anything wrong, or delete what I am not required to keep. I will not charge you for asking, and I will reply within a reasonable time.

Children

This site is not aimed at children, and I do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent me personal information, tell me and I will remove it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. The version published here is the one that applies.
