Privacy Policy

Overview

Geo Prithvi Report ("we", "our", "the platform") is a land risk intelligence service operated by Thoiba Trader. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use our service at geo.thoibatrader.com, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

When you use Geo Prithvi Report, the following types of information may be processed:

• Location Coordinates: The latitude and longitude you enter or select on the map. These pass through our secure server-side worker to third-party APIs (Open-Meteo, USGS, OpenStreetMap) to fetch data. We do not keep a permanent record of them. They are held only temporarily as part of your generated report (see Temporary Report Storage) and are deleted automatically within 30 minutes.
• Address Search Input: Text you type into the address search box is sent to the Nominatim/OpenStreetMap geocoding service for coordinate resolution. We do not retain this text.
• Project Type & Plan Selection: Your project type is used to prepare your report and is held only temporarily with it (see Temporary Report Storage). Your plan choice is sent to our server so the correct price can be charged, and it appears on your invoice.
• Invoice Details: Your billing state — and, only if you choose a B2B invoice, your business name, GSTIN and address. See Invoice & Payment Data below.
• Generated PDF Reports: Reports are generated entirely in your browser using jsPDF. The final PDF is never uploaded to or stored on our servers; only the temporary report data described in Temporary Report Storage is held, briefly, before payment.
• Standard Web Logs: Like all websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server logs including IP address, browser type, page visited, and timestamp. These are used solely for security monitoring and are not linked to your location searches.

Invoice & Payment Data

Every paid report comes with a GST invoice, and the law requires us to keep a record of it. This is the only personal data Geo Prithvi Report stores. It is created only when you complete a payment.

Before you pay, you choose one of two invoice types:

• Regular invoice (default): we ask only for your billing state, which decides whether CGST + SGST or IGST appears on your invoice. We do not collect your name, GSTIN or address.
• B2B GST invoice (optional): if you want to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC), you enter your business name, GSTIN, address and state so we can issue the invoice in your business name.

What is stored for each invoice:

• Invoice number, date, report plan, amount and the tax break-up (CGST / SGST / IGST)
• Your billing state and place of supply
• For B2B invoices only: business name, GSTIN, address and state
• The Razorpay order ID, payment ID, payment method (for example UPI or card) and payment status

Why we store it: to issue a valid GST invoice, to meet our own GST record-keeping duty, to verify a payment if you contact us about a delivery problem, and for accounting.

How long: under Section 36 of the CGST Act, 2017, GST records must be retained for 72 months (6 years) from the due date of filing the annual return for the relevant financial year. Invoice records are kept for that period and then deleted. During this period they cannot be deleted on request, because the law requires us to keep them.

Who sees it: the data sits in our Cloudflare database. We do not sell or share it. We may disclose it only to tax or government authorities when legally required.

Temporary Report Storage

When you press "Generate Report", our server collects the satellite and public data for your chosen location and builds your report before any payment is requested, so that you are never charged for a report we cannot produce. To protect this process, the report data (including the coordinates you selected, your plan and project type) is held in temporary, access-controlled storage on our Cloudflare account instead of in your browser.

• Why: so that the report is released to you only after your payment is confirmed, so that a payment that succeeds always results in a report, and to protect the service against misuse.
• How long: up to 30 minutes. After that it is deleted automatically, whether or not you paid. We do not back it up or copy it anywhere else.
• Who can see it: it is identified only by a random, unguessable reference, is not linked to your name, and is not used for analytics, advertising or profiling.
• After payment: your report is delivered to your browser and your PDF is built there. You can download it again from the same page as often as you like while it stays open. Please save your PDF — once you close the page we cannot show it again.

The only coordinates we may keep longer are those attached to your Razorpay payment record (a technical note that lets us rebuild your report if you pay after the 30 minutes have passed). Razorpay's own retention rules apply to that record.

Payment Processing — Razorpay

All payments are processed by Razorpay, a third-party payment gateway. Your card, UPI or banking details go directly to Razorpay and never reach us. We receive only the order ID, payment ID, payment method and status needed to confirm your payment and issue your invoice. Razorpay's handling of your data is governed by its own privacy policy. Prices shown on Geo Prithvi Report include 18% GST.

Third-Party Data Services

Geo Prithvi Report fetches data from the following public APIs when you perform an analysis. Requests are made on your behalf by our server-side worker:

• Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com): Climate and weather archive data. See their privacy policy at open-meteo.com/en/terms.
• USGS FDSNWS (earthquake.usgs.gov): Earthquake catalog data. US Government public data service.
• Open-Elevation / NASA SRTM: Elevation data derived from NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. Public domain.
• OpenStreetMap Nominatim (nominatim.openstreetmap.org): Address geocoding. Subject to OpenStreetMap Foundation usage policy.
• OpenStreetMap Overpass API (overpass-api.de): Road and infrastructure data. ODbL licensed (© OpenStreetMap contributors).
• Stadia Maps (tiles.stadiamaps.com): Map tile imagery. Subject to Stadia Maps terms of service.

We do not control the data practices of these third-party providers. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies if you have concerns.

Cookies & Local Storage

Geo Prithvi Report does not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. We do not run any advertising network or analytics cookies. The website may use browser localStorage to remember your theme preference (dark/light mode). If you generate invoices, it may also remember your last billing state and any B2B details you entered, so the form can be pre-filled next time. This stays in your own browser, is never sent anywhere until you submit a payment, and you can clear it from your browser settings.

How We Use Information

• To provide the land risk analysis service you requested
• To generate your PDF report in-browser
• To process your payment and issue a GST invoice
• To keep GST and accounting records as required by law
• To maintain service security and monitor for abuse via standard server logs
• We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties for commercial purposes
• We do not build user profiles or use your searches for advertising targeting

Data Retention

We do not keep your location searches or reports permanently. The report data generated for you is held in temporary storage for a maximum of 30 minutes and then deleted automatically (see Temporary Report Storage). GST invoice records (see Invoice & Payment Data) are retained for 72 months from the due date of the annual return for the relevant financial year, as required by Section 36 of the CGST Act, 2017. Standard server access logs (IP, page, timestamp) are retained by our hosting provider for a maximum of 30 days for security purposes, after which they are automatically deleted.

Children's Privacy

Geo Prithvi Report is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through our service, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Your Rights

We store personal data only in invoice records. You have the right to:

• Use the service without creating an account or providing personal information
• Request information about our data practices by contacting us
• Ask for a copy of your invoice, or for corrections to B2B details printed on it (a corrected invoice or credit note may be issued as GST rules require)
• Ask us to delete invoice data once the legal retention period has ended; during the retention period the law requires us to keep it
• Opt out of standard server log collection by not using the service

Security

Geo Prithvi Report is served over HTTPS. Your PDF is built in your browser. Beyond the 30-minute temporary report storage described above, the only personal data we store is the invoice record, held in our access-controlled Cloudflare database, so our attack surface is small. We encourage users to download and save their PDF reports locally rather than relying on any cloud storage.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
