At MindGrio, we believe your privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We want you to feel completely safe and confident when you use our website and purchase our digital planners.
Please take a moment to read this policy. By using our website, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
When you visit MindGrio, create an account, or purchase a planner, we collect certain information to provide you with the best possible experience. This information falls into two categories:

3. Third-Party Services
To run MindGrio smoothly, we rely on a few highly trusted, secure third-party services:
-
Payment Gateways: We use industry-standard providers (e.g., Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal) bound by global security standards (PCI-DSS) to protect your financial data. -
Analytics Tools: We may use tools like Google Analytics to understand website traffic. These tools collect anonymous data and do not personally identify you. -
