Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026.

Effective date: 12 November 2026. Responsible for your data (data controller / data fiduciary): Chanabasayya Siddyya Yakkihallimath, sole proprietor of C S Yakkihallimath, registered as an MSME (Udyam UDYAM-KR-03-0772930), trading as Hustle by PopStatPro, at D2-373, Nandi, SFS 407, 3rd Main, 6th Cross, 4th Phase, Yelahanka New Town, Bengaluru (Urban), Karnataka 560064, India.

1. What we collect

• Account: your email address, a hashed (not readable) password, the date you signed up, and when you confirmed you are 18 or older and agreed to this policy.
• Orders: what you bought, the amount, dates, what you agreed to at checkout, and a payment reference from Dodo Payments. We never receive your card or bank details.
• Requests: refund, cancellation and data requests you make, and your emails to us.
• Security logs: IP address, time and page requested, kept by our hosting provider to protect the site.
• In your browser only: ticked steps and notes inside a guide are stored in your browser, not on our server.

We do not collect sensitive data such as health, financial account, government ID or biometric data.

2. Why we use it, and on what basis

• To run your account and give you access to what you bought — needed to perform our contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and with your consent (India DPDP Act).
• To take payment and keep tax and accounting records — legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)).
• To keep the site secure and prevent fraud, sharing and abuse — our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• To answer your questions, refunds and complaints — contract and legal obligation.

We send only service emails (sign-up, receipts, password resets, refund confirmations). No marketing emails, no advertising, no profiling and no automated decisions about you. Giving your email is required to create an account; without it we cannot provide the service.

3. Who receives it

• Dodo Payments, our merchant of record, which processes payments, collects tax and issues receipts under its own privacy policy.
• Cloudflare, which hosts the site and database.
• Resend, which sends our service emails.
• Authorities, if the law requires it.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

4. International transfers

We are based in India, and our providers may process data in other countries, including the United States and the EU. Where the law requires it, we rely on our providers' standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

5. How long we keep it

• Account data: while your account exists. When you delete your account, your email and password are removed at once.
• Order and payment records: for as long as Indian tax and accounting law requires, then deleted. After account deletion they are kept without your email.
• Security logs: at least one year, as Indian law requires, then deleted.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK, India or California), you can:

• See and download your data: Account settings → Your data → Download my data.
• Correct it: email us.
• Delete it and withdraw consent: Account settings → Your data → Delete my account, or email us. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and does not affect anything done before.
• Object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interest, and receive your data in a portable format.
• Nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to (India).
• Complain to us first (grievance officer above), and also to a regulator: the data-protection authority in your EU country, the UK Information Commissioner's Office, or India's Data Protection Board.

We answer requests within 30 days (and grievances within 30 days, well inside the 90 days India allows). We may ask you to confirm your identity. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.

7. Children

The site is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account or buy, and you confirm this when you sign up. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think a child has given us data, email us and we will delete it.

8. Cookies and tracking

We use only essential cookies: one to keep you signed in, one for your bag and one to protect forms. We do not use analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies, and no third party tracks you across sites through our pages. Because we do not track you, we do not change anything in response to browser "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals; there is nothing to switch off. Dodo Payments may set its own cookies on its payment page.

9. Security

Connections are encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Access to the database is restricted, accounts lock after repeated wrong passwords, and guide pages are watermarked and cannot be framed by other sites. If a personal-data breach affects you, we will tell you without delay and inform the authorities as the law requires.

10. California

California residents: this policy describes the categories of personal information we collect (section 1), the sources (you, our payment partner and our servers), why we use it (section 2) and who receives it (section 3). We do not sell or share personal information and have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing data of anyone under 16. You can request access or deletion as described in section 6.

11. Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, email account holders before the change takes effect.
