Privacy Policy

We collect only what we need to run MyHobbies and support you:

• Account information — your name, sign-in email, and password (stored securely, never in plain text).
• Contact information — details you share when you email support or join a waitlist.
• Collection data — the stamps, catalogs, acquisitions, prices, conditions, and notes you add in a module.
• Billing metadata — if and when paid plans are enabled, the plan, billing period, and transaction references needed for your subscription. Card details are handled by the payment provider, not stored by us.
• Usage data — basic, largely technical information about how the service is used, to keep it reliable and improve it.
• Support messages — the content of what you send us so we can help.

We use your data to:

• Provide your account, the Philately module, and your collection workspace.
• Operate trials and (once enabled) subscriptions and billing.
• Respond to your support requests and important service notices.
• Keep the platform secure, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
• Improve features based on how the product is actually used.

We do not sell your personal data.

MyHobbies uses essential cookies and your browser's local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and run core features. These are necessary for the service to work. We don't use them to build advertising profiles.

We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to host the platform, deliver email, and (once enabled) process payments. Payment providers such as Razorpay, Stripe, or PayU handle card and payment information directly under their own privacy terms — we receive only the billing metadata needed to manage your subscription. Payment processing is not enabled today; this section will apply once it is.

Your data is yours, with no lock-in. You can export your collection at any time from within the product. You can also ask us to delete your account and associated personal data.

• Export your collection yourself, anytime, from the workspace.
• Request account or data deletion by emailing [Support email to be updated] or via the contact page.
• We may retain limited records where the law requires (for example, basic transaction records once billing is enabled).

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, and we keep it only as long as needed to provide the service or meet legal obligations. No system is perfectly secure, so we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to keep your own exports.

Questions about your privacy, or want to make a request? Email [Support email to be updated] or use the contact page. MyHobbies is operated from India by [Legal business name to be updated].
