Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE — update this whenever the policy changes]

This page is a starting template, not legal advice. Please have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer before you rely on it — especially the sections on data retention, user rights, and governing law — to make sure it matches your actual practices and current Indian law (including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023).

This Privacy Policy explains how ProfileBoost ("we", "us", "our"), operated by [BAMAS — insert full legal entity name], collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and application (the "Service").

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

Account information: your name, email address, and password (stored as a securely hashed value — we never store your password in readable form).
Business information: business name, category, and city for each business profile you add.
Content you generate: details you type when generating posts or review replies (such as offer text or customer names), and the content you choose to save to your history.
Payment information: when you upgrade to Premium, payment is processed by Razorpay, our payment gateway partner. We do not receive or store your card, UPI, or bank details — Razorpay handles that directly under its own privacy policy and security standards.
Communications: messages you send us via the contact form or support email.

Information collected automatically

Usage data: which features you use (e.g. that you generated a post), for the purpose of showing you your own history and posting streak, and for aggregate, anonymized product analytics.
Session cookies: a single cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
Basic technical logs: standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamps) kept for security and troubleshooting purposes.

2. How we use your information

To provide the Service — generating content, managing your account, and remembering your businesses and preferences.
To send you emails you've asked for: weekly post-idea reminders, holiday hour reminders, and account-related notices (verification, password reset, billing).
To process payments via Razorpay when you upgrade to Premium.
To maintain the security of the Service, including rate-limiting login attempts and detecting abuse.
To improve the Service, using aggregate, de-identified usage patterns.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

3. Who we share information with

Razorpay — to process Premium plan payments.
Your team member, if you invite one — they will be able to see your businesses, generated content history, and plan status, as described in the app.
Service providers who help us run the Service (e.g. our hosting provider, Hostinger, and our email delivery provider), bound to only use your data to provide that service to us.
When required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ProfileBoost, our users, or others.

4. Data retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. If you'd like your account and associated data deleted, contact us at hi@bamasservices.com and we'll process your request within a reasonable time, subject to any records we're required to keep for legal or accounting purposes (for example, payment records).

5. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to withdraw consent for optional communications (like the weekly reminder email, which you can turn off any time in Account settings). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hi@bamasservices.com.

6. Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your information, including password hashing, encrypted connections (HTTPS), CSRF protection, and login rate-limiting. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's privacy

The Service is intended for business owners and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated policy.
