Last updated: April 18 2026
1. Who we are
bytestormai.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides online services and runs this website. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please email us at [email protected].
2. What “personal data” means
- Personal data – any information that can identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number, billing address, IP address, or a cookie identifier.
- Processing – any action we take with personal data (collecting, storing, using, sharing, deleting, etc.).
- Data subject – you, the person whose data we process.

3. How we collect your data
| Source | What we collect | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| When you give it to us (e.g., sign‑up, purchase, contact form) | Name, email, phone, billing/shipping address, payment details, any other information you provide | To provide the service you asked for, send invoices, answer questions, and improve your experience. |
| Automatically (cookies, server logs, analytics) | IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, pages visited, click‑throughs, referral URLs | To keep the site running, understand how it’s used, and make it better for you. |
| From trusted partners (e.g., payment processors, advertising networks) | Limited data needed to complete a transaction or show ads | To process payments, display relevant ads, and measure advertising performance. |
| Public sources | Information already available publicly (e.g., business directories) | Only when it helps us verify or improve the data we already have. |
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies to:
- Essential cookies – keep you logged in and remember your preferences.
- Functionality cookies – save things like your name or email when you comment.
- Analytics cookies – track how visitors use the site (Google Analytics).
- Advertising cookies – show ads that match your interests (Google AdSense, Amazon Associates).
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Turning cookies off may limit some features, but the site will still work.
5. How we use your data
We use personal data only for the following purposes:
- Providing our service – creating your account, processing orders, delivering products, and offering customer support.
- Communicating with you – replying to inquiries, sending receipts, and notifying you about changes to the service.
- Marketing (with your consent) – sending newsletters, promotional offers, or partner messages you have agreed to receive.
- Improving the website – analysing usage patterns, fixing bugs, and testing new features.
- Legal compliance – meeting tax, accounting, or other legal obligations.
- Security – detecting fraud, protecting against attacks, and ensuring the safety of our systems.
When we rely on “legitimate interest” (e.g., showing similar products), we balance that interest against your rights and interests.
6. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only with:
- Service providers – payment processors, email services, cloud hosting, and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Amazon Associates).
- Legal authorities – when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.
- Partners with your consent – if you explicitly agree to a third‑party offer or integration.
All third parties are required to protect your data at least as well as we do.
7. Your privacy rights
You have the following rights under applicable data‑protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). To exercise any of them, contact us at [email protected].
- Right to be informed – you can ask what data we hold about you and why.
- Right of access – you can request a copy of your personal data.
- Right to rectification – you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – you can ask us to delete your data, subject to legal limits.

- Right to withdraw consent – you can withdraw any consent you previously gave, without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
- Right to lodge a complaint – you can complain to a supervisory authority if you think we haven’t respected your rights.
8. Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary:
- Account data – until you close your account or we delete it for inactivity (12 months).
- Transaction data – for at least 7 years to meet tax and accounting requirements.
- Marketing preferences – until you withdraw consent or ask us to delete them.
9. Security measures
We protect your data with:
- Encryption (HTTPS) for data in transit.
- Secure storage and limited access controls for data at rest.
- Regular security reviews and vulnerability monitoring.
- Pseudonymisation and anonymisation where feasible.
While we strive to keep your data safe, no internet transmission is 100 % secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection against all possible threats.
10. Children’s privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 16 years old, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly.
11. International data transfers
If we transfer your data outside the European Economic Area, we will use appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU‑Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
