Privacy Policy

This policy describes what actually happens to your data, written against the behaviour of the software rather than as boilerplate. Where something leaves your device, it says so plainly.

1. There is no account

Section63 has no sign-up, no login and no password. We do not create a profile for you, and we cannot associate the exhibits you produce with each other or with you, because we hold no identifier that would let us.

2. Your chat file

When you upload a .txt or .zip export, it is read, unzipped, parsed and hashed by JavaScript running in your browser. The file is not sent to us at that stage, and you can confirm this: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and upload a file. No request carrying its contents is made.

We never see the messages, the participants' names or the media, unless you go on to buy a tier that requires us to handle them (see section 4).

3. The preview

The complete exhibit — every page, watermarked — is rendered on your device from your own file. Nothing is withheld behind the payment, and nothing about the preview is uploaded, stored or retained.

4. What is transmitted, and when

• Record (₹250) — nothing is transmitted except the payment. The exhibit is produced in your browser and saved directly to your computer.
• Record + Delivery (₹400) — the finished exhibit is sent to our delivery service so it can be emailed to the address you give, and to your advocate's address if you add one.
• Full Exhibit (₹1,000) — the media is reproduced inside the document on your device, not on ours. What is transmitted is the finished exhibit and the original attachments, so that both can be emailed to you. Your export itself is never uploaded.

The exhibit file handled under the paid delivery tiers is retained for 7 days so you can re-download it, and is then deleted automatically by a storage rule rather than by anyone remembering to do it. The email we send you is yours permanently; we cannot withdraw it, and we do not want to — an exhibit whose copy expires is of little use in proceedings that run for years.

The transaction record is a separate thing, and it lasts longer. When you buy, we write a row recording the receipt number, the Razorpay payment reference, the tier and amount, the address the exhibit was delivered to, and the undertaking you accepted before it was issued — its version, the time, and the name given. That row is kept for 8 years and then deleted automatically. We keep it that long because it is our record of a sale, which accounting and tax obligations require us to be able to produce, and because a question about an exhibit can arise years after it was issued. It does not contain your conversation.

5. Your email address

Collected only on tiers that deliver by email, and used only to deliver your exhibit and its receipt. We do not send marketing, we do not build a mailing list, and we do not sell, rent or share addresses with anyone.

6. Payment

Payments are processed by Razorpay. Card numbers, UPI identifiers and banking credentials are entered on Razorpay's own interface and are never seen by, transmitted to, or stored by Section63. We receive only a payment identifier, an order identifier and a success or failure result. Razorpay's handling of your payment data is governed by their privacy policy.

7. Who else handles your data

Naming them, because “trusted partners” is not a disclosure. On the delivery tiers only, and only for the exhibit you bought:

• Amazon Web Services — the exhibit is stored in the Mumbai region (ap-south-1) for the 7 days it is re-downloadable, and the code that emails it runs there. Your data does not leave India in our hands.
• Zoho — sends the email carrying your exhibit, from contact@pinecoder.in. Zoho keeps a copy of sent mail server-side by default; because that copy would hold your conversation for longer than this policy allows, our software deletes the message from the Sent folder immediately after sending, matched on the message identifier so nothing of yours is caught by it.
• Razorpay — see section 6.
• Google Fonts — typefaces are loaded from Google’s font service, which receives the request your browser makes for them. No account, cookie or identifier of ours travels with it.

There is no analytics provider, no advertising network and no data broker in this list, because we use none.

8. Saving to your own Google Drive

Where the site offers to copy a finished exhibit to your Google Drive, that is a transfer from your browser to your own Drive account. It happens only when you press the button, and only after you grant permission in Google’s own window.

The permission requested is the narrowest Google offers — drive.file, which grants access only to files this site itself creates. It cannot read, list or alter anything else in your Drive, and we have deliberately not asked for a scope that could. The access token Google issues stays in the browser tab for the length of one upload; it is never sent to us, and we keep no record of what you saved or that you saved it. Once the file is in your Drive it is governed by your agreement with Google, not by this policy.

9. Advertising and tracking

There are none. This site carries no advertising, no advertising network, no analytics, no tracking pixels and no third-party cookies. We do not use Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or any equivalent. Nothing on this page profiles you or follows you to other sites.

10. Cookies and local storage

No cookies are set for tracking. The application may hold your progress in the browser's memory while you work so that moving between steps does not lose your entries; this is cleared when you close the tab.

11. What we cannot do for you

Because we hold no account and retain no copy of a browser-only exhibit, we cannot recover a document you have lost if you bought the Record tier. Keep your downloaded file. This is a deliberate trade-off in favour of not holding your data, and it is the reason the delivery tiers exist.

12. Your rights, and how to exercise them

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or completed, ask for it to be erased, and complain if you are not satisfied with how we answer.

In practice what we hold is the transaction record described in section 4 — a receipt number, a payment reference, the tier and amount, the delivery address, and the undertaking accepted. We do not hold your conversation.

How to ask. Write to contact@pinecoder.in with the receipt number shown when your exhibit was issued, in the form S63-XXXXXXXX-XXXXX. We need it because there is no account to look you up by. We acknowledge within 2 working days and complete the request within 30 days.

One limit, stated honestly. We cannot erase the transaction record while we are required to keep it for accounting and tax purposes. Where that applies we will say so, tell you when it expires, and erase everything not covered by that obligation.

Grievances. The person responsible for answering questions and complaints about data protection at Aarohan Enterprises is reachable at the same address, marked Data protection grievance. If we do not resolve it to your satisfaction, the Act gives you a right of complaint to the Data Protection Board of India.

13. Children

This service is not directed at children and is intended for use by parties to legal proceedings and their advisers.

14. Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page changes with it. We do not make silent revisions.

15. Who is responsible for your data

Section63 is operated by Aarohan Enterprises, Lakadganj, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India — the data fiduciary for the purposes of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Other work by the same firm is at pinecoder.in.

16. Contact

Questions about this policy, or a request under section 12, can be sent to contact@pinecoder.in or via our contact page.
