Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information BioData Maker (shaadi-biodata.com) collects, what it does not collect, and how your information is handled. By using the service you agree to this policy.

Data we collect

• Payment information. When you pay ₹29 for a premium template, the transaction is processed entirely by Razorpay. We never see or store your card number, CVV, UPI ID, or net banking credentials. We receive only a Razorpay payment ID and order ID to verify that the payment was successful.
• Your email address. You enter your email to buy a premium template, or if you ask us to email you your PDF. We use it to email you the PDF. We also add it to our mailing list at Brevo, our email service provider, so we can send you a follow-up message about your order or the service. You can unsubscribe at any time, or ask us to delete your address, by writing to [email protected].
• Usage analytics. We count page views and downloads with a lightweight counter of our own that records no personal details. We also use Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Application Insights to understand how the site is used (pages visited, device type, approximate location, clicks and scrolling). Clarity may record on-screen interactions. We do not use these tools to identify you or to show you ads.

Data we do NOT keep

This is the most important section.

• We do not store your biodata. Your name, date of birth, address, family details, religion, caste, education, income, photo, and WhatsApp number are saved only in your browser's localStorage. This website runs on a server, so what you type is processed in the server's memory for the length of your session. It is never written to a database or disk, and we do not read, sell or share it.
• If you ask for your PDF by email, the PDF is created in your browser and passes through our server to our email provider (Microsoft Azure Communication Services) only to deliver it to you. We do not keep a copy.
• We keep no database of your biodata content.
• Once your session ends, the in-memory copy is discarded, so we cannot reconstruct your biodata afterwards.
• Your uploaded photo is handled the same way: processed in memory during your session and saved in your browser's localStorage — never saved to our servers' storage.
• We do not build profiles, sell data, or share any user information with third parties for advertising.

Cookies

• We set no advertising or tracking cookies of our own. Our hosting provider, Microsoft Azure, sets a technical cookie (ARRAffinity) to route your visit to our server, and Microsoft Clarity may set analytics cookies (_clck, _clsk).
• Cloudflare (our CDN and DDoS protection provider) may set a security cookie (__cf_bm) for bot detection. This cookie does not identify you personally.
• Razorpay sets session cookies necessary to operate the payment checkout window. These are governed by Razorpay's Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics 4 may set anonymous analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) if you have not opted out. These do not contain personal data from your biodata.

Data storage and retention

• Your biodata in localStorage has a 4-hour TTL — it is automatically deleted from your browser after 4 hours to protect your privacy.
• Paid template unlock tokens in localStorage have no expiry — they persist until you manually clear your browser data.
• Your email address (collected before payment) is processed by our email provider, Microsoft Azure Communication Services, only to deliver the email. It is not used for any purpose other than the delivery confirmation email.
• Payment IDs and order IDs are retained in Razorpay's systems per Razorpay's policy, and in our server logs for up to 90 days for fraud prevention.

Your rights

• You can delete all your biodata immediately by clicking "Start Over" on the preview page, or by clearing your browser's localStorage (Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data).
• You can request deletion of your email address from our email delivery logs by writing to us.
• You have the right to know what data we hold about you. Since we hold almost none, this request is typically answered with "we hold only your email address from the time of payment, nothing else."
• For any privacy concern, email us at [email protected].

Children's privacy

BioData Maker is intended for adults preparing marriage biodata. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has used the service to submit payment information, contact us and we will process a refund.

Compliance

This policy is designed to comply with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA). We collect only the minimum data necessary, use it solely for the stated purpose, and provide you with the right to delete your data at any time.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the service after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
