Last Updated: March 10, 2025

Welcome to mr-amitcsenotes.com ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit mr-amitcsenotes.com (the "Site"), interact with our services, or purchase our UPSC handwritten notes. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with its terms, please refrain from using the Site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Personal Information You Provide:
  • Contact Information: When you contact us via WhatsApp (e.g., 9905653700) or our "AskMe" chat feature, you may provide your name, state, phone number, or other details. For example, the "AskMe" chat requires a username and state for login.
  • Payment Information: When you purchase notes (e.g., via Razorpay links), you may provide payment details like your name or transaction ID. We do not store this information directly; it is handled by our payment processor, Razorpay.
• Automatically Collected Information:
  • Log Data: When you visit the Site, we collect data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and timestamps via server logs and tools like Google Analytics.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., via Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics) to track user behavior, improve functionality, and serve ads (if approved by Google AdSense).
  • Chat Data: In our "AskMe" and "UPSC Chatting Group" features (powered by Firebase), we collect your username, messages, timestamps, and a unique user ID stored in your browser’s local storage. The chatting group also uses FingerprintJS to generate a device fingerprint for security purposes.
  • Device Information: We may collect device-specific data (e.g., device ID) through Firebase and FingerprintJS to manage user sessions and prevent abuse.
• Third-Party Embedded Content: We embed YouTube videos on our "Videos" page. YouTube may collect data about your viewing activity (e.g., via cookies) when you interact with these embeds.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• Service Delivery: To provide UPSC handwritten notes after payment verification, respond to your inquiries via WhatsApp or chat, and facilitate group discussions in the "UPSC Chatting Group."
• Analytics: To analyze site usage (e.g., via Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics) and improve content, such as understanding popular notes or video views.
• Communication: To reply to your messages in the "AskMe" chat or notify you about updates (e.g., via WhatsApp after payment).
• Advertising: If approved for Google AdSense, to serve personalized ads based on your browsing behavior.
• Security: To monitor and prevent abuse in chat features (e.g., using FingerprintJS and IP tracking to enforce bans).
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws or protect our rights.
