Email is the fastest route. We are a very small operation, so please allow a little time.

3What to include so we can actually help
Because there are no accounts and your documents never reach us, we have almost nothing on file about you. That means we depend on what you tell us:
- your browser and version, and your operating system;
- what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead;
- for a payment issue: the email address used at checkout and the order or transaction reference from your receipt;
- for a privacy request: which right you are exercising, and any email address you have used to contact us or buy a licence.
Please do not email us the document you were working on unless we ask for it. We do not want a copy, and the whole point of the app is that we never get one.
4If we cannot resolve it
- Privacy, India: you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
- Privacy, EU/UK: you may complain to your national data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).
- Consumer complaints, India: the National Consumer Helpline (consumerhelpline.gov.in) and the consumer commissions under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
- Payment disputes: your card issuer or bank, and the payment processor named in the Refunds Policy — though please try us first, as a direct refund is faster than a chargeback.
⚠Checklist: everything you must fill in before publishing
Working material — delete this whole section before go-live. It is not addressed to visitors and does not belong on the published page.
Every [[PLACEHOLDER: ...]] in these four files must be replaced with a real
value or deleted. Nothing in them was invented. There are 36 distinct values
below, plus three jobs at the end that are not placeholders. Work down this list;
the files column tells you where each one appears (P = privacy,
T = terms, R = refunds, C = contact).
Identity and contact — needed for all four documents
product name — currently "Longhand"/product name— P, T, R, Cwebsite domain— P, T, R, Clegal entity name— P, T, R, Clegal entity type — e.g. sole proprietorship, private limited company— P, Cregistered business address— P, Cgeneral contact email address— T, Cprivacy contact email address— P, Cgrievance officer name or role— P, R, Cgrievance contact email address— P, R, Crefunds/support email address— R, Cphone number, if you publish one— Csupport hours and timezone— CGST registration number, if registered— Cgrievance response time in days— P, Cdate(last-updated date, same on all four) — P, T, R, C

Analytics and privacy settings
The Site sets no cookies unless the visitor allows them, and the only service that would set one is Google Analytics behind the consent banner, so there is no consent banner to name and no analytics account settings to confirm. Two values remain:
Cloudflare Web Analytics retention period as shown in your dashboard— Phow long support emails are kept— P
Payments and refunds — only needed once you start charging
payment processor name(appears in P, T, R) — pick one and use the same name everywherelink to the chosen processor's privacy policy— Pstatutory record-retention period under Indian tax law, per your accountant— Pexactly what the paid tier unlocks— Rprice and currency— Rrefund window, e.g. 7 days(appears twice) — Rdecide and state whether "changed my mind" refunds are unconditional within the window— Rany other support route, e.g. a contact form URL — or delete this line— Racknowledgement time, e.g. 2 business days— Rdecision time, e.g. 5 business days— Rinitiation time, e.g. 3 business days— Rsettlement time, e.g. 5–10 business days— Rstate whether the refund is of the exact amount charged, and who bears any currency-conversion difference or bank charge— Rconfirm whether the checkout asks EU/UK buyers to consent to immediate delivery and waive the 14-day withdrawal right— R
Three things to do that are not placeholders
- Set
ANALYTICS.cfTokeninlonghand.htmlbefore publishing. Until it has a value, no analytics runs at all and the Privacy Policy describes a service that is not actually loading. Either set the token or delete the analytics section. - Delete the “Status: nothing is sold yet” paragraph in the Refunds Policy on the day payments go live.
- Update the Google Fonts section in the Privacy Policy. DONE 2026-10-06: fonts are now self-hosted and the section says so. Was: once fonts are self-hosted, and change the date.
