This Privacy Policy explains how sambad.live (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information in connection with the sambad.live website and the embeddable result widget and related services (together, the “Service”). We have designed the Service to collect as little information as possible. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information we collect
We do not require visitors to provide personal details such as name, postal address, or phone number in order to view a result. In operating the Service, we may process the following limited categories of information:
- Basic technical data — such as approximate region, device and browser type, referring page, and timestamps, used to deliver content reliably, maintain security, and prevent abuse.
- Anonymous usage data — aggregated, non-identifying statistics (for example, result views) used to operate, measure, and improve the Service.
- Local device storage — small values stored on the visitor’s own device (for example, to remember that a one-time notice has already been shown).
- Information you choose to send us — such as the content of an email or message you send for support.
2. How we use information
We use the limited information described above to: provide, operate, and maintain the Service; deliver result content quickly and reliably; keep the Service secure and prevent fraud or abuse; understand aggregate usage and improve the Service; support the advertising that funds the Service; respond to your enquiries; and comply with legal obligations.
3. Legal bases (where applicable)
Where data-protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we process information on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, your consent (where required, for example for certain cookies or advertising), and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
4. Cookies and local storage
The Service may use cookies or browser local storage to keep the widget functioning correctly and to support its single advertising redirect. You can clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings, though some features may then not work as intended. Where required by law, consent for non-essential cookies is the responsibility of the website on which the widget is embedded.
5. Advertising
The Service is funded by a single advertising redirect triggered by a visitor’s first interaction with the widget. Advertising partners may process limited data (such as IP address or device identifiers) to serve, cap, and measure advertising, in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control the data-handling practices of third-party advertisers and are not responsible for them.
6. Service providers
We rely on reputable infrastructure and service providers — including cloud hosting and content-delivery networks such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and other CDN partners — to operate and deliver the Service. These providers process information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are bound by appropriate obligations.
7. Data retention
We keep information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to operate and secure the Service, and to comply with our legal obligations. Aggregated and anonymised data, which does not identify any individual, may be retained for longer.
8. International transfers
Because the Service runs on global infrastructure, information may be processed in countries other than your own, where data-protection laws may differ. Where required, we take appropriate steps to ensure such transfers are subject to suitable safeguards.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Service at your own risk.
10. What we do not do
We do not sell personal information. We do not build advertising profiles of individual visitors ourselves, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed at children and is intended only for adults of legal age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
12. Website owners’ responsibility
If you embed the Service on your website, you are responsible for your own privacy obligations toward your visitors — including providing any privacy notice, cookie banner, or consent mechanism required by the laws that apply to you. The widget operates within your page, and your site’s overall data practices and legal compliance are yours to manage. sambad.live is not responsible for the privacy practices of any website that embeds the Service.
13. Third-party links
The Service may contain links or redirects to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites, and this Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
14. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information, or to data portability. To make a request, contact us using the details below; we will respond as required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
15. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above indicates when it last changed. Material changes will take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Service afterwards constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
