Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 18, 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly (name, email, username), information collected automatically (page views tracked via hashed IP addresses — raw IPs are never stored), and usage data through Google Analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to provide and improve our services, send transactional emails (OTP, notifications), process wallet withdrawals via Razorpay, and display personalized content.

3. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies for authentication (JWT tokens) and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. We also display Google AdSense advertisements. You can opt out of personalized ads through Google's ad settings.

4. Data Security

IP addresses are hashed using SHA-256 before storage — raw IP addresses are never persisted. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. All data is transmitted over HTTPS.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To request data deletion, contact us at contact@reads.devsecengops.com.

6. Third-Party Services

We use Google AdSense (advertising), Google Analytics (analytics), SendGrid (email), and Razorpay (payments). Each has their own privacy policies.
