Effective Date: [24/01/2024]
At Datametrik (accessible from https://datametrik.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Datametrik and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in several ways, including:
- Log Files: Like most websites, we follow a standard procedure of using log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamps, and referring/exit pages.
- Personal Data: If you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, we may collect your name and email address.
Information we collect when you buy a digital product
When you purchase an ebook, guide or other digital product from us, we collect and process the following:
| Data | Why we collect it | Legal basis / purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Name | To identify your order and address you correctly in support | Performance of a contract |
| Email address | To deliver the product, send your receipt, and handle any support or delivery issue | Performance of a contract |
| Phone number (if collected) | To contact you about a delivery or payment problem | Performance of a contract |
| Billing address / country (if collected) | Tax and invoicing requirements | Legal obligation |
| Payment reference and order ID | To match payments to orders, handle refunds and resolve disputes | Performance of a contract / legal obligation |
| Transaction amount, date and status | Accounting, tax records and dispute resolution | Legal obligation |
We never see or store your full card details. Card numbers, CVV codes, UPI PINs and net banking credentials are entered directly with our payment processor and are never transmitted to or stored on our systems. We receive only a payment reference, the amount, and whether the payment succeeded or failed.
Payment processing
Payments on this website are processed by payment provider, a third-party payment provider regulated in India.
When you make a payment, the information you enter is transmitted directly to the payment provider. They act as an independent data controller in respect of that information and process it under their own privacy policy, which we recommend you read:
Our payment provider is PCI-DSS compliant. We share with them only the information necessary to process your transaction — typically the order amount, an order reference and your contact email.
How we use purchase information
We use the information collected during a purchase to:
- deliver the product you have paid for;
- send transactional messages — your receipt, download link, and any notice about a delivery or payment problem;
- provide customer support if you contact us;
- process refunds where our Refund & Cancellation Policy applies;
- meet our accounting and tax obligations;
- detect and prevent fraud, duplicate transactions and abuse of our licence terms;
- notify you about a material update to a product you have purchased, such as a corrected edition.
We will not add you to marketing emails just because you bought something. Transactional messages about your order are sent because they are necessary to fulfil the contract. We will only send you marketing or promotional email if you have separately opted in, and every marketing email carries a one-click unsubscribe link.
How long we keep purchase information
| Information | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Transaction and invoice records | [8] years, or as required by applicable Indian tax and accounting law |
| Order and delivery records | [3] years from the date of purchase |
| Customer support correspondence | [2] years from the date of last contact |
| Marketing contact details (where you opted in) | Until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them |
Where we no longer need your information and are not required to retain it by law, we delete it or irreversibly anonymise it.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
| Recipient | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Payment provider | To process your payment and any refund |
| Email and delivery services | To send your receipt and download link |
| Website hosting provider | To operate the website on which your order is placed |
| Accountants and professional advisers | For bookkeeping, tax filing and audit |
| Analytics and advertising platforms | As described elsewhere in this policy — see the sections on cookies and analytics |
| Law enforcement or regulators | Where we are legally required to do so, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims |
Your rights over your information
Subject to applicable law, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- request erasure of your information, where we are not required to keep it;
- withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on your consent — for example for marketing email;
- nominate another individual to exercise these rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity;
- raise a grievance with our Grievance Officer about how we have handled your information.
To exercise any of these rights, email info@datametrik.com We will respond within [30] days. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Note on erasure requests after a purchase. We may be unable to delete transaction and invoice records before the statutory retention period expires, because tax and accounting law requires us to keep them. Where that applies we will tell you, delete everything we are able to delete, and restrict the rest to legal-compliance use only.
Grievance Officer(In process of onboarding)
In accordance with applicable Indian law, we have appointed a Grievance Officer to handle questions and complaints about how we process personal information.
Grievance Officer
Name: [OFFICER NAME]
Designation: [DESIGNATION]
Email: [GRIEVANCE EMAIL]
Phone: [PHONE]
Address: [FULL ADDRESS]
We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and aim to resolve them within one month of receipt.
Client data (marketing services)
Where you engage us for advertising or marketing services, we may be given access to systems and data belonging to you or your organisation — including advertising accounts, analytics properties, tag managers, customer lists and conversion data.
In relation to that data:
- we act as a data processor on your instructions, not as a controller in our own right;
- we access it only as necessary to deliver the agreed services;
- we do not use it for our own purposes, and we do not sell or share it beyond what the engagement requires;
- we return or delete access on request, and in any event on termination of the engagement;
- you remain responsible for having a lawful basis for the data you collect and for the consents obtained from your own customers.
Where required, this is supplemented by a data processing agreement in your Service Agreement.
