Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Summary

This policy explains what QuotePlace collects, why, and what you can do about it. We collect only what we need to run your account and the site. We do not sell your personal data.

1. What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address and a password (stored only as a one-way hash, never as plain text).
• Your activity: the quotes you save, and the quotes you share or download.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed and error logs, collected automatically.
• Messages: anything you send us when you write to support.

2. How we use it

• Create and secure your account and keep your saved quotes in your profile.
• Run, maintain and improve the site, and fix bugs.
• Prevent spam, abuse and fraud.
• Reply to your messages and send essential account emails (for example password resets).
• Meet legal obligations.

3. Legal basis (where required)

Where laws such as the EU/UK GDPR apply, we rely on contract (to provide your account), legitimate interests (security and improving the site), consent (for optional cookies or marketing), and legal obligation. In India we process your data in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

4. Who we share it with

We share data only with service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, database, authentication, analytics and email providers. They may use it only to provide their service to us. We may also disclose data if the law or a valid legal request requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the site. If QuotePlace is ever sold or merged, your data may move to the new owner under this policy.

5. Sharing to other platforms

When you use a share button, you leave QuotePlace and the platform you choose (WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Telegram, Pinterest or others) handles your data under its own policy. We do not receive your account details from those platforms.

6. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and similar storage to keep you logged in, remember your settings and — with the advertising described in the next section — show ads that help keep QuotePlace free. Essential cookies are needed for login and saving to work. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; if you block essential ones, login and saving will not work.

7. Advertising

• QuotePlace displays advertising provided by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to QuotePlace and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• We do not control the ads Google shows, and advertisers do not receive your name, email address or any account details from us.

8. How long we keep data

We keep your account data while your account is open. If you delete your account, we remove or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except what we must keep for legal, security or accounting reasons. Server logs are kept for a limited time, typically up to 12 months.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, object to or limit some processing, withdraw consent, and complain to a data protection authority. California residents can also ask what we collect and ask us not to sell or share their data; we do not sell it. To use any right, write to stoicbare@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity first.

10. Security

We use encryption in transit, hashed passwords and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password and tell us right away if you think your account was accessed.

11. Children

QuotePlace is not meant for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from them. If you are under 18, use the site only with a parent or guardian's permission where the law requires it. If you think a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.

12. International transfers

Our providers may store data in countries other than yours. Where required, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

13. Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the date above and, for big changes, tell you on the site or by email.

14. Contact and grievances

Grievance Officer, QuotePlace, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. Email: stoicbare@gmail.com. We aim to reply within 7 days and resolve complaints within 30 days.
