Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Zipsom.com ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit or purchase from this site. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023).

1. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information necessary to process your order:

• Payment information — handled entirely by Razorpay, our payment processor. We do not receive or store your card, UPI, or bank details.
• Email address — only if you choose to provide one for order confirmation or download-link backup delivery.
• Approximate location / currency — we use your IP address (via a third-party geolocation service) to estimate your local currency for display purposes only. This does not affect the actual amount charged, which is always in INR.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To process your payment and deliver your purchased e-book
• To send order confirmation or a replacement download link if requested
• To estimate and display prices in your local currency for convenience

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services We Use

• Razorpay — payment processing (see Razorpay's own privacy policy for how they handle payment data)
• ipapi.co — approximate geolocation for currency display
• Frankfurter.app — currency exchange rate data
• Google Fonts — for site typography

These services may process limited technical data (such as IP address) as part of normal web requests, governed by their own privacy policies.

4. Data Retention

We retain order-related information only as long as necessary to fulfill your purchase, respond to support requests, and comply with applicable tax and accounting obligations.

5. Your Rights

Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request erasure of your data, where legally possible
• Withdraw consent for optional data uses (such as email delivery)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us.
