Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 10, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Password (encrypted)
  • Organization name
  • GSTIN (if provided)

Uploaded Data

When you use our Service, we process:

  • Marketplace sales CSV/XLSX files you upload
  • Transaction data extracted from these files
  • Generated GSTR-1 outputs

Product Analytics

When analytics is enabled, we collect page views, feature usage, browser and device information, approximate location derived from network information, and diagnostic events. We do not intentionally send uploaded file contents, transaction values, GSTINs, passwords, or payment-card details to analytics providers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and improve our GSTR-1 generation service
  • Process and store your transaction data securely
  • Send important service notifications
  • Process payments and manage subscriptions
  • Respond to support requests

3. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.3)
  • Access Control: Row-level security ensures you only access your own data
  • Secure Storage: Files are stored in encrypted cloud storage (Cloudflare R2)
  • Password Protection: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt
  • Rate Limiting: Protection against brute-force attacks

4. Data Retention

We retain your data as follows:

  • Account Data: Retained while your account is active
  • Operational Filing Data: Uploaded files, normalized transaction data, processing jobs, and generated outputs are automatically deleted after 30 days
  • Protected Records: Security audit and billing records may be retained for up to 7 years where required for security, dispute resolution, accounting, or legal compliance

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Razorpay: Payment processing (subject to Razorpay's privacy policy)
  • Cloudflare: CDN and file storage
  • Sentry: Error tracking and monitoring
  • PostHog and Google Analytics: Product and website analytics when configured

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and eligible data, subject to legal or security retention requirements
  • Request a copy of your eligible account data
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications

These requests are not currently self-service. Email privacy@gstbrew.com from your account email so we can verify the request.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies for:

  • Authentication (session management)
  • Security (CSRF protection)

When product analytics is configured, PostHog or Google Analytics may store analytics identifiers in cookies or browser storage. We use these for product measurement and diagnostics, not for selling personal data or serving third-party ads. Browser privacy controls and content blockers may restrict this collection.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through the Service.
