Privacy Policy
Last updated: 31 October 2026
In short: we collect very little about you, we do not sell your data, and we do not take payments or run accounts on this website.
Who we are
The Good Shelf (“we”, “us”) is an independent editorial website based in India that researches everyday products and links to them on Amazon.in. This policy explains what information we handle and why. It is written to be consistent with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
What we collect
- Messages you send us. If you email or contact us, we receive your name, email address and whatever you write.
- Basic technical data. Like most websites, our hosting may record your IP address, browser type, device type and the pages you visit.
- Analytics and cookies. [Keep this line only if you use analytics or cookies: We use [tool name] to understand how many people visit the site and which pages are read. It may set cookies in your browser.]
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect payment details, government IDs or sensitive personal data.
How we use it
- To reply to your questions, corrections and suggestions.
- To keep the website secure and working properly.
- To understand which content is useful, so we can improve it.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it to send marketing email unless you ask us to.
Links to Amazon and other sites
Our “Buy on Amazon.in” buttons are affiliate links. When you click one, you leave our website and go to Amazon.in. Amazon may place cookies in your browser so that it can credit us for a qualifying purchase. What Amazon collects from you is governed by Amazon’s own privacy notice, not this policy. The same applies to any other external site we link to, including the sources in our citations.
Who we share it with
We share data only with the service providers that help us run the website, such as our hosting and analytics providers, and only as needed for those services. We may also disclose data if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep messages for as long as needed to answer you and keep a reasonable record, and then delete them. Technical logs are kept for a short period set by our hosting provider.
Your rights
Under Indian law you may ask us to tell you what personal data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, and you may withdraw any consent you have given. To do so, write to us at connect@thegoodshelf.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Children
This website is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us their data, tell us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the data we hold, but no website or internet transmission is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
Trademarks and logos
All product names, brand names, logos and trademarks shown on this website belong to their respective companies and owners. They are used only to identify the products we discuss and do not imply any sponsorship or endorsement.
Contact and grievances
For any privacy question or complaint, contact us.
