Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information HeyFriend (www.heyfriend.in) collects when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have.

What personal information do we collect?

We do not ask visitors to create an account, and we do not collect personal information through the site itself. There are no sign-up forms, no comments and no payments. We never ask for credit card numbers.

When do we collect information?

We receive your email address and the content of your message only when you email us at hi@heyfriend.in. We use it to reply to you, and for nothing else.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are read and which countries visitors come from. It sets first-party cookies and collects aggregate, non-identifying data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type. We use this data to improve the site. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager to show advertisements on this website. When ads are switched on, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technology to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, to limit how often you see an ad, and to measure ad performance. We do not control these cookies and do not receive your personal information from them.

• Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or at www.aboutads.info.
• Read how Google handles data in the Google Privacy Policy.

Do we use cookies?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider stores in your browser so it can recognise your browser and remember certain information. We and our third-party providers use cookies to:

• Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions, so we can offer a better site experience.
• Serve and keep track of advertisements, when ads are switched on.

You can set your browser to warn you when a cookie is sent, or to turn off all cookies. Every browser is a little different, so check your browser's Help menu for the correct way to change cookie settings. If you turn cookies off, some site features may not work as well.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. The only third parties that receive data from your visit are the services named above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager), and only in the way described in this policy.

Third-party links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include links to third-party sites, products or services. These sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.

How we protect your information

The site is served over HTTPS. We store no user accounts or personal data on our servers. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to answer you.

Data deletion request

We do not store user-identifiable data on our servers, but we honour data deletion requests. To ask us to delete an email conversation or any other data we hold about you, use the Contact Us page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it last changed.
