This site is run by Lakshaya Baliyan. This page explains what information is collected here, why, and what is done with it. Questions go to lakshaya15@gmail.com.
The short version
I collect as little as possible: analytics about how the site is used, and the details you give me when you buy something or join my email list. I do not sell your data to anyone. I use it to deliver what you bought and to send you my own content and offers.
What is collected
Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics 4, which sets cookies and records things like pages visited, approximate location, device and browser, and how you arrived. This is aggregate usage data and is not used to identify you personally.
Purchases. When you buy a digital product, the order form asks for your name, email address, and phone number. These are passed to Razorpay, the payment provider, to create your payment and send your receipt. Card and banking details are entered on Razorpay and never touch this site. I can see your name, email, phone, and the amount paid in my Razorpay dashboard.
Email list. If you subscribe, I store the email address you give me so I can send you posts, offers, and my own products. Every email will have an unsubscribe link.
Emails you send me. If you write to me, I keep the message so I can reply.
What is not collected
There is no comment system, no login, no user accounts, and no advertising network on this site. I do not run third-party ad trackers or retargeting pixels.
How it is used
- To deliver a product you paid for
- To reply to you
- To send you my own posts, offers, and products, if you opted in
- To understand which content is worth writing more of
This site is monetised through my own products and services. I promote my own work. I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Who else handles your data
- Vercel - hosts the site and processes server logs, including IP addresses, as part of serving pages
- Razorpay - processes payments and holds the transaction record
- Google Analytics - usage analytics
Each has its own privacy policy governing what it does with that information.
Cookies
The only cookies set here are Google Analytics ones. You can block them with your browser settings or an ad blocker, and the site will work exactly the same.
How long things are kept
Purchase records are kept as long as needed for accounts and tax. Email list entries are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data follows Google Analytics retention settings.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, ask me what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email lakshaya15@gmail.com and I will action it. Purchase records I am required to keep for accounting are the one exception.
Children
This site is not intended for anyone under 18, and I do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
