3. Service providers

Supabase

The site uses Supabase for authentication, database and/or storage services. Account identifiers, profile information and site data may be processed through Supabase.

Razorpay

Netlify / hosting infrastructure

The website may use hosting and server-function infrastructure to deliver pages and process protected server-side requests.

4. Cookies, local storage and Google advertising

The site may use browser storage that is necessary for authentication, session persistence, preferences and security.

If Google AdSense or another Google advertising service is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, subject to the user's choices and applicable law.

Where legally required, advertising cookies or similar technologies should not be activated until the required consent has been obtained. For users in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, the site administrator must configure an appropriate Google-certified Consent Management Platform before serving relevant Google ads.

You can learn more about Google's use of information at Google's partner-sites information page.

5. External links

Some Albums, Books, Videos, Merchandise or other entries may link to third-party websites. Those websites have their own privacy practices. This site is not responsible for how third-party sites collect or use information.

6. Data retention and deletion requests

Information is retained only as reasonably needed for account operation, transaction records, security, reports, legal obligations and legitimate site administration. You may contact the site operator to request access, correction or deletion of personal information, subject to legal, security and transaction-record requirements.

7. Children's privacy

The site is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact the site operator so the matter can be reviewed.

8. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational controls are used, including role-based access and protected server-side operations where applicable. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when site features, service providers, advertising practices or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top of this page will be revised when material changes are published.
