Privacy policy

This policy explains what information BahiKhata.com ("we", "us") collects, why, and the choices you have. We have written it to be read, not skimmed past.

1. Information that never leaves your device

The digital khata, invoice generator, calculators and templates run in your browser. Customer names, amounts, entries, invoices and business details you type into them are stored only in your browser's local storage on your device. We do not receive, upload, read or sell this data. You can delete it at any time from the khata settings or by clearing your browser's site data. Backups you download are files you control.

2. Information you send us

When you submit a form (expert help, contact, newsletter, support pledge, partner or job application, contest entry, advertising enquiry), we receive the details you enter, such as your name, mobile number, email, city and message, together with the page you sent it from, the campaign or referring website that brought you (if any) and the time. Form submissions are delivered to our inbox through a form-processing service that acts on our behalf.

We use this information only to respond to your request, run the service you asked for, send the newsletter you subscribed to, pay contest prizes or process your application.

3. Expert-help requests

If you request expert help and give consent, we share your request details with one independent professional from our partner network, chosen to match your need, location and language, so they can contact you. We do not sell lists of contacts. Partners may pay us a referral fee. Partners are independent of BahiKhata.com and are responsible for their own services and for how they handle your information after they contact you.

4. Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to show advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.

• You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Visitors in regions that require consent for advertising cookies will see a consent message managed through Google's certified consent tools. Read our cookie policy for the full list of cookies and similar technologies.

5. Embedded content

Videos are embedded from YouTube using its privacy-enhanced mode and load only when you press play. Fonts are served by Google Fonts. These services receive standard technical information such as your IP address when they load. The invoice generator loads a small QR-code library from a public content delivery network when you add a UPI ID.

6. Legal basis and your rights

We process the information you send us on the basis of your consent and to respond to your request. Depending on where you live, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to nominate someone to exercise your rights. To make a request, use the contact form and choose "Privacy request". We will respond within a reasonable time and in any case within the period required by law.

7. How long we keep information

We keep form submissions for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards for record-keeping, normally not more than three years, unless the law requires longer. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.

8. Security

The site is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so please do not send sensitive financial details such as card numbers, bank passwords, UPI PINs or OTPs through any form. We will never ask for them.

9. Children

This website is intended for adults running or learning about businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. Contests are open only to adults.

10. Changes and contact

We may update this policy and will change the date at the top when we do. Questions or complaints about privacy can be sent through our contact page.
