This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) governs the collection, processing, and storage of personal data by Greeter (“Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) through the website accessible at thegreeter.in (“Site”) and any associated services, tools, or functionalities (collectively, “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you explicitly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consent to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree, you must immediately discontinue use of the Services.
The data controller responsible for your personal information is Greeter, reachable via electronic mail at greeterindia@gmail.com. All inquiries regarding data protection or requests to exercise your rights under applicable law shall be directed to this address.
In the course of providing the Services, we may collect, process, and retain the following categories of personal information:
Our processing of your personal data is justified on one or more of the following legal grounds: (i) performance of a contract with you (e.g., delivering the surprise website you create); (ii) compliance with a legal obligation; (iii) legitimate interests pursued by us (e.g., improving security, preventing fraud, enhancing user experience); or (iv) your explicit consent, where required by applicable law.
We process personal data for the following business and operational purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data with limited categories of third parties only under the following circumstances:
We utilize cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to enhance functionality, analyze usage, and personalize content. These technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser characteristics, and interaction data. Essential cookies are necessary for core operations; functional and analytics cookies are used to improve performance. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies, but doing so may impair certain features of the Services. Third-party analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) may deploy their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies.
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. User-created surprise websites, including any uploaded images and messages, are stored temporarily for sharing purposes and may be automatically deleted after a defined period of inactivity (currently 90 days). After deletion, data cannot be recovered. Backups may persist for a limited period but are subject to standard rotation and deletion schedules.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of personal data. These include encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+), firewalls, access controls, and regular security assessments. Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. You acknowledge that inherent risks exist and assume responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords or authentication credentials associated with your use of the Services.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal data, including:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at greeterindia@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframes prescribed by applicable law (typically 30 days). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence.
The Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or such higher age as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us immediately so that we may delete such information.
The Site may contain links to external websites, plugins, or applications not operated by us. This Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the policies of any third‑party service you interact with.
We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the version date at the top of this page and, where reasonably practicable, via a notice on the Site or by email. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
This Policy and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Greeter is established, without regard to conflict of law principles, unless otherwise required by mandatory local law.
