1. Introduction
Welcome to GST HSN Lookup ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our website and use our free GST tools (GST Calculator, HSN Code Lookup, GSTIN Validator).
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
Our tools (GST Calculator, HSN Lookup, GSTIN Validator) operate entirely in your browser. No data you enter into these tools is transmitted to our servers. All calculations and lookups happen locally on your device.
2.2 Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information through third-party services:
- Google Analytics 4: We use GA4 to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 collects anonymised data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/city level). This data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Cloudflare: Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect access logs and security-related data as part of their infrastructure services.
3. Cookies
We use a single cookie (theme) stored in your browser's localStorage to remember your dark/light mode preference. This is a functional cookie and does not track you across websites. Google Analytics may set its own cookies (_ga, _gid) for analytics purposes.
4. How We Use Information
We use the information collected to:
- Understand how our tools are used and improve them
- Monitor website performance and security
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., gst.gov.in, cbic.gov.in). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
6. Data Security
Since our tools process all data locally in your browser, your financial and tax data never leaves your device. We implement reasonable technical measures to protect our website infrastructure.
7. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
