Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 18 October 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to My Compliance Guru (“MCG”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and handle information when you access or use our website and GSTR-1 Desk service.

We respect your privacy and aim to handle your information responsibly. By using our website or services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use our services, we may collect the following categories of information:

Account and Contact Information

• Name, email address, phone number, and other information you provide when registering or contacting us.
• Account-related information necessary to provide access to the service.

GST and Business Information

• Business or client names, GSTINs, invoice numbers, invoice dates, invoice values, taxable values, tax amounts, and related GSTR-1 information that you enter or process through the service.
• Source filenames, record counts, totals, section-wise counts, and validation errors or warnings associated with saved records.

Files and Generated Data

• Information contained in Excel or CSV files selected for processing.
• GSTR-1 JSON or other output files generated by the service.
• Where you choose to save a month or filing record, we may store a summary and, subject to system storage limits, the generated GSTR-1 JSON associated with that record.

Technical and Support Information

We may collect technical information such as browser details, error logs, security-related records, and information you provide when requesting support, to the extent these are collected by our systems.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use information to:

• Provide and operate the GSTR-1 Desk service.
• Process data and generate GSTR-1 JSON or Excel outputs.
• Save and display records in your account dashboard when you choose to save them.
• Help troubleshoot errors and respond to support requests.
• Maintain service security, prevent misuse, and improve reliability.
• Meet applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

We do not intend to use your GST or invoice information for purposes unrelated to operating, securing, or supporting the service, except where permitted or required by applicable law.

4. File Processing and Downloads

Excel and CSV files

Excel and CSV files selected for processing are read and processed in your browser. The original files are not uploaded to or stored on our application server as part of this browser-based workflow.

This statement describes the intended processing flow and does not rule out separate technical data that may be collected by hosting, security, or other website infrastructure.

Generated JSON and Excel files

Generated output files are made available for download through your browser. Generating or downloading a GSTR-1 JSON file does not mean that a GST return has been submitted to or accepted by the GST portal.

Saved dashboard records

If you choose to save a month or record, the service may store associated summary information in our database, including totals, section-wise counts, errors or warnings, source filename, and row count.

Where the generated GSTR-1 JSON is within the system’s configured storage limits, the service may also save the full JSON in parts. This JSON may contain invoice-level information, including party GSTINs, invoice numbers and dates, invoice values, taxable values, and taxes. If the JSON exceeds the configured storage limit, only summary information may be saved.

Please review saved records before storing confidential business or client information.

5. Storage and Retention

We retain account information and saved records for as long as necessary to provide the service, maintain account functionality, meet applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the service, subject to applicable law.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and how it is used. Some technical logs, security records, or backup copies may remain for a limited period where necessary for operational, security, or legal purposes.

6. Access to Saved Information

Saved records are associated with the relevant user account. Our service is intended to allow users to access only the records associated with their own accounts. We use access controls intended to prevent unauthorized access.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Please keep your login credentials confidential and notify us if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

7. Deletion and Backup

Deleting saved records

Where the dashboard provides a deletion option, you may delete saved months or saved JSON records from your account. Once deletion is completed, the deleted records should no longer be available through the relevant account. Copies retained in backups, logs, or other systems may be subject to separate retention periods, where applicable.

Deleting your account

If account deletion is available, you should download any records you wish to keep before requesting or completing deletion. Account deletion will be handled in accordance with our deletion process and applicable law. We will not claim that every copy is immediately erased from every system unless that can be verified.

Your responsibility to keep backups

You are responsible for downloading and securely storing any required JSON files, Excel files, invoices, or other business records before deleting saved records or your account.

8. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information when reasonably necessary with:

• Hosting, database, infrastructure, or technical service providers supporting our website.
• Professional advisers or service providers who assist us in operating the service, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations where applicable.
• Authorities or other parties where required by law, legal process, or to protect legal rights and service security.
• A successor or acquiring entity in connection with a legitimate business transfer, subject to applicable law.

We seek to limit such sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

9. Cookies and Technical Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies where required for login sessions, security, functionality, or analytics. The specific technologies used depend on the website’s configuration. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

10. Your Responsibilities

When using the service, you are responsible for ensuring that:

• You have the right and authority to enter or process the information you provide.
• You have any necessary permission to process client, employee, or third-party information.
• The information you enter and the files you process are accurate and lawful to use.
• You follow applicable privacy, tax, and data-protection requirements.

11. Your Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law, you may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of relevant personal information, or to raise a privacy concern.

We may need to verify your identity or account ownership before acting on a request. Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or for legitimate security and operational purposes.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our service is intended for people using it for legitimate personal or business purposes and is not designed for children to independently submit sensitive business or tax information. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can assess the appropriate action.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the service after an update is subject to applicable law and the revised policy.
