The Byte Beam (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, mobile applications, or other services that reference this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This policy applies only to information collected through the Services and not to information collected offline or through other means.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information, some of which may be considered personal information under applicable laws:
- Information You Provide: We collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, or other details when you register, subscribe to newsletters, participate in surveys, contests, or submit content to our Services. If you make a purchase, we may collect payment information (processed by third-party payment processors) to fulfill your request.
- Automated Information: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your device and online activity, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and interaction with our Services (e.g., pages visited, click behavior). Cookies help us understand how you navigate our website. We obtain your consent for non-essential cookies via a consent banner displayed on your first visit, allowing you to manage preferences.
- Location Information: We may collect approximate location data, such as from your IP address or device’s GPS, to enhance your experience.

- Information from Other Sources: We may combine information we collect with data from third parties, such as demographic or updated contact information from service providers or partners.
For user-generated content (e.g., comments, forums), any information you submit may become public and accessible via search engines or third-party services. We moderate such content but do not control how third parties use it. Embedded content (e.g., videos, social media feeds) from third parties may collect data independently; refer to their privacy policies.

Data Retention and Transfers
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes, unless a longer retention period is required by law. After this period, your information will be deleted or anonymized.
Your information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where we or our partners operate. We take reasonable measures to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, but if you do not consent to such transfers, please stop using our Services.
