At Yaastra, we respect your privacy and take the protection of your personal information seriously. This combined Privacy Policy and Disclaimer explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, your rights, and the limitations of our liability when you use our services at yaastra.com and its subdomains (tools.yaastra.com, gadgets.yaastra.com). By accessing or using Yaastra, you agree to the terms described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our services.

Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: information you provide directly and information collected automatically.

1. Information you provide directly

When you use Yaastra services (create an account, submit a comment or review, use contact forms, subscribe to newsletters, list a tool or gadget, or otherwise communicate with us), you may provide personal information such as:

Name and email address
Billing/shipping address when placing orders (if applicable)
Content you submit (comments, reviews, support requests, listings, attachments)
Any other information you voluntarily share with us

2. Information collected automatically

When you visit our sites, we and our service providers automatically collect technical and usage information, including:

Pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on pages, referrer URL, and navigation paths
Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Cookies section below)
Aggregated and anonymized analytics data

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To provide, operate, and maintain the site and its features (including listings, search, comparisons)
To process and manage listings, account actions, and support requests
To send transactional messages (order confirmations, account notifications) and, where you have opted in, marketing communications (newsletters, updates)
To personalize content, recommendations, and advertising where permitted
To analyze and improve the site, products, and user experience using analytics tools
To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical issues
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not sell your personal information.

Tools & Gadgets Listings — Affiliate Disclosure

Both tools.yaastra.com and gadgets.yaastra.com include listings that may contain affiliate links or referral links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up, Yaastra may earn a commission or referral fee — at no additional cost to you.

We clearly disclose affiliate relationships where required and aim to maintain editorial independence in our reviews and listings.
Listings and editorial recommendations are based on our assessment and criteria; we do not provide paid positive reviews.
If a specific listing is sponsored or paid-for, that relationship will be disclosed on the listing page when applicable.

Cookies, Tracking & Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide, protect, and improve our services, and to deliver relevant advertising and analytics. Cookies allow us to remember preferences, enable core site functionality, and measure site performance.

Third-party services (analytics providers and advertising networks) may also place cookies or tracking technologies and collect information about your browsing activity across different websites to serve personalized ads. You can control cookies at the browser level and choose to opt out of targeted advertising through industry opt-out pages such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). Note that opting out may not stop all advertising and can affect site functionality.

Analytics & Third-party Services

We use trusted third-party services (for example, analytics providers, ad networks, content delivery networks, and payment processors) that collect and process data on our behalf. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and process data according to their terms as service providers to Yaastra.

Examples of the types of providers we use include:

Web analytics tools to monitor site usage and performance
Advertising networks to manage and serve ads
Payment processors to handle payments (we do not store full card numbers on our servers)
Hosting and security providers

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services if you want more detail about how they use your information.

Links to Other Websites

Yaastra may link to third-party websites, tools, or services for convenience, recommendations, or as part of our listings. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these third-party sites. Visiting external sites may result in the sharing of personal information with those third parties — please review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

Data Sharing & Disclosur

We may share personal information in the following limited circumstances:

With service providers and partners who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, etc.) under contract and with confidentiality obligations.
With legal authorities or in response to lawful requests when required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Yaastra, our users, or the public.
In connection with a corporate transaction (e.g., merger, acquisition, sale of assets) — in which case we will notify affected users as required by law.

We require third parties we work with to follow reasonable security standards and to use personal information only for specified purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal data as long as necessary to provide services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

Yaastra’s services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at info@yaastra.com.

Security

We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS, access controls, and industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and in the event of a security incident affecting your rights, we will follow applicable legal obligations for notification and remediation.
