Privacy Policy

What we collect

This website (https://malhar-sports-website.vercel.app) collects the following information, and only when you choose to provide it:

• If you sign in with Google: your name, email address, and profile photo, as provided by Google. We don't receive your Google password.
• If you sign up with phone + password: your phone number and a password. Your password is never stored in plain text — it's hashed (one-way encrypted) before being saved, so we cannot see or recover your actual password.
• Gamification data: quiz results, points, badges, and daily-challenge streaks. This is stored in your browser (localStorage) and, only if you're signed in, also synced to our server so it follows you across devices.
• Basic usage data via Google Analytics, if enabled — pages visited, approximate location (city-level), device type. This is aggregate and not tied to your name unless you're signed in.

What we don't collect

We don't sell products through this website, so we never collect payment details, card numbers, or billing addresses here. We don't verify phone numbers via OTP — phone login is a lightweight password-based system intended only for saving your gamification progress, not for anything sensitive.

How we use your data

• To let you log in and keep your streak/points/badges saved across devices.
• To respond to enquiries you send us via WhatsApp, call, or the enquiry form.
• To understand which parts of the site are useful (via analytics), so we can improve it.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

Where your data is stored

Account and streak data is stored using Upstash (a Redis database provider) and Vercel (our hosting provider). Both are reputable infrastructure providers; neither has any relationship with Malhar Sports and Shoes beyond providing hosting/storage services.

Your rights

You can ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time by contacting us via WhatsApp or phone (details below). Clearing your browser's localStorage will also remove locally-stored gamification data on that device.
