Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 November 2026
This policy explains what personal data Bucket of Books collects, why, and the choices you have. We follow India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
What we collect
- When you buy: your name, email, mobile number, billing address, the books you bought, and order and payment reference numbers.
- When you download: the date, your browser type, and a scrambled version of your IP address.
- When you contact us: your name, email, order number and message.
- When you use the site: basic technical data needed to run and protect it.
We do not collect or store your card, UPI or bank details. Cashfree handles these directly.
Why we use it
- To deliver your books and let you download them again
- To send your invoice and order emails
- To personalise your copy with your name, email and order number
- To answer your messages and handle refunds
- To prevent fraud and unauthorised sharing
- To meet our legal obligations
We do not send marketing emails, and we do not sell your data.
Who we share it with
We share data only with the services needed to run the store:
- Cashfree, to process payments and refunds
- Our hosting, storage and email providers, to run the site and send emails
These providers may process data on servers outside India. We may also share data if the law requires it.
Cookies
We use only the cookies the site needs to work: one remembers Your Bucket, and others keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
How long we keep it
We keep order records so you can return to your books and so we can meet legal and accounting duties. We delete or anonymise data we no longer need. Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to help you.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and access is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the authorities of a breach where the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, withdraw consent, or nominate someone to act for you. Deleting your data may remove access to books you have bought, and we may need to keep some records by law.
To make a request or raise a complaint, email yash.bucketofbooks@gmail.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Children
Our store is not meant for children under 18 without a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect children's data without that consent.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy and will show the new date at the top of this page.
