Privacy policy

1. Information we collect

When you purchase a textbook or submit an inquiry on gatecsmastery.com, we collect only the necessary data points:

• Your full name (for license attribution on digital books)
• Your email address (to transmit download tokens and purchase receipts)
• Transactional payment identifiers provided by our payment gateway (Razorpay)

We do not collect or store credit card numbers, debit card PINs, CVV codes, or banking passwords. All payment transactions are processed through encrypted channels by RBI-authorized payment aggregators.

2. Anti-piracy watermarking and license traceability

To protect our copyright against unauthorized mass dissemination, purchased PDF files are stamped with your unique internal order identifier and a cryptographic hash. This data is visible in the running footer of the delivered PDF for personal license verification.

3. Third-party data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or monetize student personal data to marketing brokers or coaching institutes. Data is shared exclusively with technical service providers essential for platform operations:

• Razorpay: To process secure payments and verify digital receipts
• Cloudflare: For secure website edge delivery and denial-of-service protection
• Supabase: For secure database storage with row-level security policies
• Google Workspace: For transactional order confirmation emails

4. Your rights

You have the right to request a copy of the transactional records associated with your email address or request deletion of non-tax-related customer records by contacting support@gatecsmastery.com.
