Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Dayoti, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
  • We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
  • We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

Hosting and Server Logs

Our website is hosted by cPanel, acting as our Data Processor. Their servers may collect standard log data including IP addresses, browser information, and access times. You can review their privacy policy directly. We process this data based on our legitimate interest in website security and functionality.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses essential cookies to ensure basic functionality. For users in applicable jurisdictions (such as the EU), we utilize a consent management mechanism to obtain explicit opt-in consent before loading non-essential third-party assets (such as tracking pixels or external fonts). If you decline consent, these non-essential assets will not load, though external links to our Amazon storefront may still utilize standard referral tracking governed by Amazon's privacy policy upon clicking.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States) and, for users in the European Economic Area, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about the use of our website. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or source that brought you to our site
  • Your approximate geographic location (country, region, city)
  • Device type, operating system, browser type, and screen resolution
  • Interaction events such as clicks, scrolls, form submissions, and file downloads
  • Session duration and frequency of visits

The data collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored on Google servers, which may be located in the United States. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We have enabled IP Anonymization, which means your full IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to Google servers in the United States.

We use this data based on our legitimate interest in understanding how visitors interact with our website in order to improve its content and functionality (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). For users in jurisdictions requiring explicit consent for non-essential cookies, we process this data based on your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time.

You may opt out of Google Analytics data collection by:

  1. Adjusting your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner
  2. Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  3. Disabling cookies in your browser settings

Opting out will not affect the functionality of this website.

International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States by Google LLC. These transfers are conducted in accordance with Google's Data Processing Terms, which incorporate Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission as a valid legal mechanism for data transfers under GDPR Article 46(2)(c). Additionally, Google LLC participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

For Canadian users, these transfers comply with PIPEDA requirements for cross-border data transfers, as Google maintains comparable privacy protections through binding corporate rules and contractual commitments.

By accepting analytics cookies through our consent banner, you acknowledge this transfer. You may opt out at any time as described in the Analytics section above.

Contact Form Inquiries

When you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is sent securely to our direct email inbox. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry by our team. We process your data based on our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries.

Newsletter

We only send newsletters with your express, documented consent. If you explicitly opt-in to subscribe, we collect your email address. Newsletter emails are sent using our hosting provider's email services. Every newsletter email includes a clear unsubscribe link. You may also contact us directly to be removed from our mailing list. We process your data based on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Data Retention Periods

  • Contact form submissions: Retained for 12 months after resolution, then deleted.
  • Newsletter subscriber data: Retained until unsubscribe + 30 days.
  • Analytics data: Event-level data is retained for 2 months within Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted. Aggregated, non-personally-identifiable reports are retained indefinitely for historical trend analysis.
  • Server logs: Retained for up to 30 days automatically by our hosting provider.

No Data Selling

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third parties. We do not share your data with anyone except as described in this policy.

Amazon Purchases

All purchases are handled securely through Amazon.com. When you click "Buy on Amazon," you are redirected to their platform. We do not collect, process, or store your payment information, credit card numbers, or shipping addresses on this website.
