Privacy Policy

Grapinfo.com (“we”, “our” or “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information is handled when you visit https://grapinfo.com and how we protect it, in line with applicable data-protection laws, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the GDPR.

1. Data controller

Grapinfo.com — Email: support@grapinfo.com

2. Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not directly collect your name, phone number or address. The following may be processed automatically when you use the site:

• Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, pages viewed and time spent.
• Location (only if you choose it): if you tap “Use my location”, your browser shares your coordinates so we can show the AQI and weather for that place. The coordinates are used only to fetch that reading (and to look up a place name); we do not link them to your identity or build a profile.
• Vehicle checker: the manufacturer, model, year and fuel type you select run in your browser and are not stored on our servers.

3. Third-party services

To provide the site we rely on third parties, which may receive technical data such as your IP address under their own policies:

• Open-Meteo — weather and air-quality data.
• OpenStreetMap Nominatim — converts coordinates to a place name for “Use my location”.
• Google News RSS — headline aggregation for our blog and update sections.
• Google Fonts and Google Maps — fonts and the coverage map.
• Our hosting provider — server logs kept for security and performance.
• Analytics and advertising (if enabled) — we may use tools such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense. These can use cookies to measure usage and show ads, including personalised ads. See Google’s policies at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
• Retailer / affiliate links — when you click an air-purifier link, the retailer (for example Amazon) handles your data under its own privacy policy.

5. Cookies

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality (for example remembering that you have seen the GRAP pop-up in this session or your light/dark preference), analytics and advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may then work less smoothly.

6. Affiliate disclosure

Some links on our air-purifier pages are affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Prices and availability are set by the retailer.

7. Data retention

Analytics data (if enabled) is kept for the period set by the analytics provider (typically up to 14 months). Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

8. Sharing and international transfers

We do not sell your personal data. Some providers listed above may process data on servers outside India or the EEA, under standard contractual clauses or similar safeguards.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including HTTPS, to protect information. No internet service can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or erase your data, restrict or object to processing, and receive a portable copy. To exercise these rights, email support@grapinfo.com.

11. Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their personal data.
