Privacy Policy
Effective date: 4 November 2026 · Last updated: 4 November 2026
This policy describes the current BriefLock Lite MVP, including an optional Adsterra ad unit gated by the visitor’s advertising choice. The operator must review it against actual ad delivery, applicable law and provider documentation.
1. Who operates BriefLock
BriefLock is an independent project-planning tool. Operator: Dipto Bhattacharyya. BriefLock is currently operated as an independent project. The operator may publish additional business-registration details here if and when a separate legal entity or registration is used.
2. Information processed
- Project name, written brief, selected work packages, rates, hours, currency and budget are processed in your browser for calculations.
- The current MVP does not intentionally save these project details to a BriefLock account or database.
- If you submit a URL for inspection, the URL is sent to our hosting function, which requests one public page and extracts limited public metadata such as its title, headings, links and form count. Do not submit private, authenticated or confidential URLs.
- Hosting infrastructure may process IP addresses, request metadata and security logs under its own policies.
3. Cookies, analytics and advertising
BriefLock uses an optional Adsterra advertising unit. The Adsterra script is not requested unless you select “Allow optional ads”. If you reject, the ad script is not loaded. You can reopen “Privacy choices” in the site footer to withdraw or change your choice; withdrawing prevents future loads and removes the ad container from the current page. This does not necessarily delete cookies or identifiers already placed by a third party; use your browser site-data controls for that.
When enabled, the advertising provider and its partners may process technical and advertising data such as IP address, browser/device information, ad delivery, impressions and interactions, and may use cookies or similar identifiers for advertising, measurement, fraud prevention or relevance. The exact technologies, recipients, retention periods and international transfers can depend on the advertisements served and provider configuration. Review Adsterra’s Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy. This description is not a complete cookie inventory; actual browser testing and provider documentation should be checked after activation.
4. Payments and service providers
Premium proposal payment is initiated through an external UPI app or PayPal. BriefLock does not receive card/bank credentials through the site and payment checkout is handled by Cloudflare server-side functions; BriefLock does not receive card/bank credentials. Payment providers process payment information under their own policies. External payment providers process information under their own policies. A signed premium entitlement is stored by the browser only as a convenience token; the token is re-verified by the Cloudflare payment service against the PayPal capture before premium export.
5. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell project briefs. URL inspection and site hosting involve infrastructure providers. The external payment and advertising providers described on this page operate under their own policies.
6. Retention and security
Project calculations remain in the browser unless you independently print, download or share them. Server and hosting logs are retained according to provider settings and operational/security needs. No internet service can promise absolute security.
7. Your choices and requests
You can avoid submitting a URL and use the written-brief workflow. You can clear the current project using “New project.” For privacy questions or requests, contact Dipto Bhattacharyya at akashgangatocorpuscallosum@gmail.com.
8. Children
BriefLock is a professional planning tool and is not directed to children. Do not submit children's personal information.
9. Changes
This policy will be updated when the product's data practices change. The effective date above will be revised.
