Who is responsible for your information?
InformBytes is the trade name used by Gitiri Pranav Kumar HUF. Gitiri Pranav Kumar operates this website in the capacity of Karta and is our privacy and grievance contact. Our business correspondence address is C/o Gitiri Pranav Kumar HUF, Flat 301, 3-29/60/61, Arca Residency, Manikonda, Hyderabad, Telangana 500089, India. For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected].
This policy covers informbytes.com, its accounts and purchases, support communications and the licensing of our digital products. It explains our practices; it does not claim that a regulator has certified the site or that every provision of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is already in force.
Information we use and why
- Accounts and orders: the name, email, billing information, account credentials and order/payment status needed to manage your account, fulfil purchases, provide downloads, support you and meet applicable accounting or legal requirements. Passwords are handled by WordPress authentication; do not send them to us in a message.
- Payments: PayPal and, when selected at checkout, Cashfree process payments. To create and verify a Cashfree payment, we share your order reference, amount, currency, name, email, phone number, billing/shipping information and purchased items. Payment providers also receive connection and device information needed for checkout and fraud prevention. Our site receives transaction references and payment outcomes. Do not send card numbers or card security codes to our helpdesk.
- Product licensing: order reference, customer email, product and licence identifiers, activation limits/status and expiry information. Machine-bound products also use a device/machine identifier for activation and licence enforcement. Licensing services run on Amazon Web Services (AWS). A device identifier linked to a licence may be personal data.
- Enquiries: your name, email, message and associated page/referrer information, to respond to the enquiry, investigate problems and prevent abuse. Contact-form messages and purchase notifications are delivered through Zoho email services and may also be retained in the receiving administrator mailbox.
- Essential operations: IP address, request/browser information, security and error logs, account/cart/session cookies, and your privacy choice, to deliver the site, secure it, prevent fraud and remember your settings.
- Optional analytics: if you choose analytics, Google Analytics, WordPress.com/Jetpack and WooCommerce statistics, and Cloudflare Web Analytics may receive information about visits, pages, device/browser and interactions. Depending on the provider, cookies, identifiers and network information may be used.
- Optional advertising and marketing measurement: if you choose this purpose, Google AdSense and configured Reddit, Pinterest and Zoho marketing integrations may process visit, device, campaign and interaction information to display or measure advertising. Advertising providers may combine this with information they hold under their own policies.
- Privacy requests and consent evidence: your request, verification and response information, and records of privacy choices, to handle requests, demonstrate choices and resolve complaints. Consent receipts record a random reference, time, policy version and purpose choices; they do not contain your email or IP address.
We use information you voluntarily provide to answer your request or deliver the service you ask for, where permitted by applicable law. We seek consent for optional analytics and advertising. We also process information where necessary to meet an applicable legal obligation or protect the security of the service. We do not use an enquiry or purchase as permission to subscribe you to promotional email.
Your analytics and advertising choices
Optional analytics and advertising start off. Use Reject optional, Accept optional or Choose settings in the privacy controls. Analytics and advertising can be selected separately. You can change or withdraw a choice using the Privacy settings button on the site. Refusing optional tracking does not prevent reading, account access or checkout.
A necessary first-party cookie remembers your choice for up to 180 days in that browser. Clearing cookies, using another browser or an expired choice can cause us to ask again. Withdrawal stops future optional loading in that browser after the page reloads; it does not automatically erase information already held by a provider. Contact us if you also want us to review previously collected information. Browser settings can block cookies, but blocking essential cookies can affect sign-in or checkout.
For regional pricing, we use the approximate country associated with your connection and remember your INR or USD preference in the necessary WooCommerce session. Your billing country determines the payment currency and provider at checkout. Choosing a currency does not subscribe you to marketing.
Who receives information?
Service providers include our VPS hosting provider, Utho; Cloudflare for site delivery and security; WordPress/WooCommerce and their enabled service providers; PayPal and Cashfree for payments; Zoho for email; and AWS for licensing and file delivery. Optional providers are described above and load according to your choices. A provider may act as our processor or be independently responsible for its own processing, depending on the service. We may disclose information when lawfully required by an authority, or where necessary to establish or defend legal rights. We do not sell customer contact lists.
Some providers process information outside India. Provider locations, applicable safeguards and any government restrictions must be considered for the particular service. We do not represent that all data stays in India or that a specific contractual transfer mechanism applies to every provider. Provider policies include Google, Automattic, Cloudflare, PayPal, Cashfree, Zoho, AWS, Reddit and Pinterest.
Retention, deletion and security
We retain information for its purpose and any applicable legal requirement, then review it for deletion or anonymisation. Our operating review periods are:
- Resolved support enquiries: normally reviewed for removal 12 months after closure; confirmed spam after 30 days.
- Website mail-delivery logs: reviewed after 30 days, unless needed for an unresolved delivery or security issue. Mailbox/provider copies require a separate review.
- Accounts and licences: retained while needed for the account, purchased access, support or a dispute. An account-erasure request is reviewed across the website and licensing service; we do not silently revoke a paid licence as part of an automated cleanup.
- Orders and financial records: retained for applicable accounting, tax, dispute and legal requirements. We explain any retention that prevents a requested deletion.
- Consent receipts and closed privacy cases: reviewed after three years, unless a legal hold requires longer retention. The browser preference cookie expires sooner, as described above.
- Security logs, backups and migration/recovery copies: reviewed under security, recovery and legal needs. Restricted backup copies may remain until expiry; if a backup is restored, completed deletion decisions must be reapplied before ordinary use.
Retention reviews involve manual checks; deleting an account or changing a tracking choice does not instantly remove every copy from all systems. We use HTTPS, restricted access and backups, and review security measures. No system is risk-free. If a personal-data breach occurs, we investigate and make notifications required by the law applicable at that time.
Requests, grievances and nomination
Email [email protected] with the subject Privacy request and tell us whether you want access, correction, erasure, withdrawal of consent, a grievance review, or to record or change a nominee. Send from the email used for your account/order where possible. We may ask for proportionate verification to protect your information. Do not send Aadhaar, PAN, card details or passwords unless a specific lawful need and secure method have first been agreed.
Our privacy/grievance contact is Gitiri Pranav Kumar, Karta of Gitiri Pranav Kumar HUF. We aim to acknowledge requests within three working days and address grievances within one month of receipt. We explain any information retained, its reason and any remaining steps. Where law requires a shorter period, that period applies. Statutory rights and escalation routes apply as their provisions come into force; once available and applicable, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India after using our grievance process. See privacy request instructions.
Children and changes to this policy
Account registration and purchases are intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not intend to collect children’s information for advertising or behavioural monitoring. If you believe a child has provided information or has been tracked, contact us so we can investigate, stop the relevant processing and address it. An age statement is not a substitute for any legally required parental-consent safeguards.
We update this policy when practices change and show the update date above. A policy update or continued browsing is not fresh consent to a new optional purpose. We will ask for a new choice when required.
