This notice explains what personal data Gen Z Parent Guide collects, why, who handles it, how long we keep it, and your rights. We wrote it in plain language on purpose.

1. Who we are

Gen Z Parent Guide is run by Jay in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. We decide why and how your data is used. Contact and grievance officer: Jay, genzparentguide@gmail.com.

2. We do not collect data about children

The service is for parents and guardians aged 18 or older. We do not ask for, collect or store any information about children or anyone under 18, we do not track or profile them, and we do not show targeted advertising. Please do not type a child’s name, school, photo or any other detail into this site. If you do by mistake, write to us and we will delete it.

3. What we collect

• Free list: your email address, the time you confirmed you are 18 or older, where you joined from, and the time you unsubscribed, if you do.
• Account: your email address, your password in scrambled (hashed) form that we cannot read, and the time you confirmed you are 18 or older.
• Subscription: your plan, status, renewal date and the reference numbers our payment provider gives us. Card and UPI details go only to the payment provider.
• School enquiries: the school name and the contact person’s name, email, phone and message.
• Technical data: your IP address and basic request logs, kept by our hosting and database providers for security and to keep the service running.
• Cookies: only the cookies needed to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

4. Why we use it

• To send the free weekly teaser, only if you joined the free list.
• To create your account and give you the issues you have paid for.
• To take payments, send receipts and service messages, and handle cancellations and refunds.
• To keep the service secure and prevent misuse.
• To meet legal, tax and accounting duties.

We use your data for these purposes only, based on your consent or on uses the law allows without consent. You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing is as easy as giving it: use the unsubscribe link in any email, or write to us. Withdrawing does not affect what we did before.

5. Who handles your data for us

These companies process data on our behalf, only to provide their service:

• Supabase: database and login, hosted in Mumbai, India.
• Vercel: website hosting. Requests may pass through servers outside India.
• Resend: sending emails. It may process data outside India.
• Razorpay: payments.

We do not sell your data and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose it if a court or authority legally requires us to.

6. How long we keep it

• Your account and free-list data: until you ask us to delete it or you unsubscribe and ask for erasure. If you only unsubscribe, we keep your email on a do-not-email list so you are not emailed again.
• Payment and invoice records: for as long as tax and accounting laws require.
• School enquiries: for up to 2 years after the last contact.
• Security logs: for a short period, as set by our providers.

7. Your rights

You may ask us to:

• tell you what personal data of yours we hold and how we use it;
• correct or complete it;
• erase it, unless we must keep it by law;
• deal with a complaint about how we handle your data; and
• name another person who can use these rights for you if you die or cannot act.

Write to genzparentguide@gmail.com from the email address on your account. We will acknowledge within 2 working days and reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India once it is operating.

8. Keeping your data safe

Data is encrypted in transit. The database enforces strict access rules, including that paid content can be read only by active subscribers and that only an administrator can read the email list. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

9. Changes

If we change how we use your data in a way that matters, we will tell you and, where required, ask for your consent again.
