What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check for a profile image. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy at vayubeats.com/privacy. Once approved, your profile image is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media & Contact Forms
If you upload images, avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images. Contact form submissions are stored temporarily to respond to your queries and improve service quality.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
Login and display preference cookies last from two days to a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks.
Editing or publishing an article adds a temporary cookie containing the post ID. It expires after one day and includes no personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Such content behaves as if the visitor has visited the source website, which may collect data and track your interaction.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website. These tools may collect anonymized information and use cookies for traffic insights and improvement.
Data Security & Retention
We take the protection of your personal data seriously. We use secure server connections (HTTPS/SSL), firewalls, and routine security checks to protect data stored on our servers. While we strive to protect your information, no system is completely immune to security risks — please use a strong password and do not share your login credentials.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected (for example, comments are stored indefinitely to enable threaded discussions and moderation). Data that is no longer required is deleted or irreversibly anonymized in accordance with our internal retention procedures.
Payments & Third-Party Services
If we offer paid products or accept donations, payment processing is handled by trusted third-party payment gateways (for example, Stripe, Razorpay or Phonepay). We do not store your full payment card details on our servers — payment information is securely processed by the provider you choose at checkout.
We also use select third-party services (e.g., hosting providers, analytics, email delivery, spam filters, and advertising partners). These services may process certain data on our behalf. We choose reputable providers and require them to implement appropriate data protection safeguards.
Email, Newsletters & Cookies
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send the updates you signed up for (tutorials, product news, offers). You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email or by contacting us.
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience (e.g., to remember form entries, login preferences, and analytics). You can control or disable cookies via your browser settings — note that some features may not work if cookies are disabled.
Policy Updates, Legal Compliance & Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes implies acceptance of the updated policy.
We aim to comply with applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR, CCPA and relevant Indian regulations) where they apply. If you have questions, requests, or concerns about your personal data, please contact us:
