Privacy, Terms & Disclaimer

1. Privacy Policy

I respect your privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what personal data this website collects, why, and what control you have. It is written with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 in mind.

What personal data I collect

• When you simply read the website: I do not ask for your name, phone number or email. Like almost every website, the hosting server automatically records basic technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, date and time) for security and to keep the site running.
• When you email me at contact@healthbeatsbybiswa.com: your email address, name (if you give it) and whatever you write.
• If you subscribe to updates or join the app beta in future: your email address and name, only after you tick an unticked consent box. The form will clearly say what you are signing up for.

I do not ask you to share your medical reports, diagnoses or other health details through this website. Please do not send them to me — I cannot give personal medical advice.

Why I use it (purpose)

• To reply to your message or collaboration request.
• To send health-education emails, only if you have subscribed.
• To keep the website secure, prevent abuse and fix technical problems.

I will never sell your personal data, and I will not use it for any purpose other than the one you gave it for.

Who else processes it

To run the website I use trusted service providers who process data on my behalf: Hostinger (website hosting and email) and, if you subscribe in future, an email service such as SuperProfile or MailerLite. They may store data on servers outside India. If I ever share data because the law requires it, I will do so only to the extent required.

Cookies and embedded content

This website itself uses only the cookies needed for it to work. Videos embedded from YouTube or Instagram, and links to Amazon, may set their own cookies when you play or click them; those are governed by those companies’ privacy policies. If I add advertising (such as Google AdSense) in future, I will update this policy and ask for your consent where required.

How long I keep it

• Emails you send me: deleted within 24 months of our last conversation, unless we have an ongoing collaboration or the law requires me to keep them longer.
• Subscriber data: kept until you unsubscribe; then deleted (not just paused).
• Technical server logs: kept by the hosting provider for security, as per their policy.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

• Withdraw your consent — use the unsubscribe link in any email, or write to me. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent.
• Ask what data I hold about you and how it is used.
• Ask me to correct, update or delete your data.
• Raise a grievance with me (see section 5). I will respond as quickly as possible and within the time limits set by law.
• Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf in case of death or incapacity.
• If you are not satisfied with my response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Security

I use reasonable safeguards — secure HTTPS connection, strong passwords, limited access and regular backups. No website can be 100% secure, but if a personal data breach ever affects you, I will inform you and the authorities as required by law.

Children

This website is for general health education and is not designed to collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are under 18, please do not send me personal information without your parent or guardian. If I learn that I have received a child’s data without verifiable parental consent, I will delete it.

Changes

If I change this policy, I will update the date at the top. Important changes will be highlighted on this page.
