ShaktiPay Privacy Policy – How We Handle Your Data

This Privacy Policy applies only to the website shaktipayapp.in and the data we collect through it. It does not cover the ShaktiPay app, which is operated by its own developers under their own privacy terms. For questions about another service, review that service's own privacy policy and contact its operator.

We collect minimal data, and only what is necessary to run and improve this website:

• Contact form data: If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address, name (if provided), and message content.
• Analytics data: We may use standard web analytics tools that collect anonymised information such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and approximate location (country/region level).
• Cookies: We may use essential cookies for site functionality and analytics cookies for traffic measurement. We do not intentionally use advertising cookies; any analytics or hosting tools used should be reviewed in their own policies.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider may automatically log IP addresses, access times, and referring URLs as part of standard server operations.

• To respond to your queries: Email data is used solely to reply to your message and, where relevant, to document scam reports in our safety guide.
• To improve the website: Analytics data helps us understand which guides are most read, which pages need improvement, and how visitors navigate the site.
• To maintain security: Server logs help us detect and prevent abuse, attacks, or unauthorised access.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing purposes.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We may use:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g. remembering your menu state)
• Analytics cookies: Used to measure traffic and understand usage patterns – all data is anonymised

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any third-party tracking scripts that follow you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some site features may not work correctly without essential cookies.

This website may link to or embed services from third parties:

• Google Fonts: Used for typography – Google may collect anonymised usage data
• Telegram: We link to the official ShaktiPay Telegram channel – Telegram's own privacy policy applies when you join
• Hosting provider: Our web host processes server logs under their own data handling agreement

We have no control over how these third parties handle data. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies separately.

We take reasonable steps to protect any personal data we hold:

• Email communications are stored securely and accessed only by the editorial team
• Analytics data is anonymised and does not contain personally identifiable information
• Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all connections
• We do not store passwords, payment information, or sensitive financial data

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Deletion: Ask us to delete your personal data from our records
• Opt-out: Disable cookies in your browser settings at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with the subject "Privacy Request". We aim to respond within 30 days.

This website is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

This Privacy Policy covers only the shaktipayapp.in website. Any separate app or service mentioned on this website may be operated by another party and is governed by its own privacy policy.

We do not claim access to or control over data you provide to third-party apps or services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or the law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when the latest revision was made. Continued use of this website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
