Privacy Policy

Last updated 20 August 2026

This policy explains what GeoLIP does with personal data. It is written to be read, not to be survived. If anything here is unclear, ask us and we will explain it.

What we collect

Category	What it is	When
Account details	Name, email address, phone number, password (stored only as a one-way hash — we never see or store your actual password)	When you register
Enquiry details	The project you asked about, your message, and the contact details you supply	When you submit an enquiry or consultation request
Saved activity	Shortlisted projects and saved searches	While you use the site signed in
Technical data	IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, timestamps	Automatically, in server logs
Payment records	Plan, amount, and the payment gateway's transaction reference	If you purchase a paid plan

Why we collect it

• To run your account — signing you in, keeping your shortlist, and remembering your preferences.
• To act on your enquiries — if you ask to be contacted about a project, we use your details to do exactly that.
• To keep the service working and safe — logs let us find faults, block abuse and rate-limit attacks.
• To meet legal obligations — tax and accounting records for payments.

We do not sell personal data. We do not run advertising networks on GeoLIP, and we do not share your contact details with developers or brokers unless you have asked us to put you in touch about a specific project.

Who we share it with

Only the service providers we need to operate: our hosting provider, our email delivery provider, our payment gateway, and — where you have asked to be contacted about a project — the relevant developer or their authorised representative. Each receives only what is needed for that purpose. We may also disclose data where required by law or a valid legal order.

How long we keep it

• Account data — while your account is open, and up to 90 days after you close it, so an accidental deletion can be reversed.
• Enquiries — up to 3 years, so we can answer questions about what was said.
• Server logs — typically 30 days.
• Payment and tax records — as long as Indian tax law requires, currently 8 years.

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask us to:

• tell you what personal data of yours we hold and who we have shared it with;
• correct anything inaccurate or incomplete;
• erase your data where we no longer need it;
• withdraw a consent you previously gave, as easily as you gave it;
• nominate someone to exercise these rights if you die or become incapacitated.

Write to us and we will respond. If you are not satisfied with how we handle a request, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Passwords are stored as one-way hashes. Access to production data is restricted to those who need it. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell affected users and the authorities promptly if a breach occurs.

Children

GeoLIP is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Contacting us

For any privacy question, correction, or request, see Contact us. We aim to respond within 7 working days.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy materially we will update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell account holders directly.
