Section63 Privacy Policy

Last updated 1 September 2026

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.

In one line: your chat file is read inside your browser and is never uploaded. Your finished exhibit is transmitted only if you choose a tier that delivers it by email or reproduces media.

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 two-page watermarked preview is generated on your device from your own file. It is not uploaded, stored or retained.

4. What is transmitted, and when

Files handled under the paid delivery tiers are retained for 7 days so you can re-download them, and are then deleted. 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.

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. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Your rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, and ask for it to be erased. In practice the only personal data we are likely to hold is an email address and a payment reference against a receipt number. Write to us with the receipt number shown when your exhibit was issued and we will act on it.

11. Children

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

12. Changes

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

13. 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.

14. Contact

Questions about this policy, or a request under section 10, can be sent to contact@pinecoder.in or via our contact page.

Section63 prepares the form of a certificate and records the hash of the file it receives. It does not verify the truth of a conversation, the identity of the participants, or the declaration you sign — and it is not legal advice.
