Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Sugandhikaa by Alka Jaju (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use our public website. It does not govern third-party platforms (for example WhatsApp, Instagram, email providers, or review sites) when you leave this site to contact us or view our profiles there — those services apply their own policies.

The data controller for this website is the business operating as Sugandhikaa by Alka Jaju, based in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. For privacy-related questions, contact us at the email or phone shown on the Contact page of this site.

We keep collection to what is reasonably needed to run and secure the site and to respond when you reach out.

Information you provide voluntarily: if you email, message, or call us, we receive the details you include (for example name, phone number, event details, and message content) through your chosen channel.

Technical and usage data: our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically process standard server and diagnostic data when you load pages, such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser type, device type, referring URL, timestamps, and request paths. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioural analytics cookies on this site as part of its current design.

We do not operate a public account system or contact form on this website; we do not intentionally collect special-category data through the site itself.

We use the information above to: operate, secure, and improve the website; understand aggregate technical issues and abuse; and respond to enquiries you initiate. We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for automated profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Depending on applicable law, we rely on: your consent or implied consent when you contact us; performance of steps at your request before entering a contract; our legitimate interests in operating a secure online presence and responding to enquiries, balanced against your rights; and compliance with legal obligations.

We use trusted service providers to host the site and deliver content (for example website hosting and content management infrastructure). They process data only on our instructions and for the purposes described here, subject to their agreements and security practices.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or competent authority, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of our business and users.

We retain enquiry-related correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request, manage our relationship, and meet legal, accounting, or dispute requirements. Server logs and security records are kept for a limited period according to our providers’ defaults and our operational needs, then deleted or aggregated where possible.

We use industry-standard hosting and transport security (such as HTTPS) appropriate to a marketing website. No online transmission or storage is completely risk-free; if you share sensitive information, consider doing so over channels you trust.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to certain processing, or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise rights that apply to us, contact us using the details on our Contact page. We may need to verify your request.

This site is intended for adults planning events. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Our service providers may process data in India and other countries where they operate. Where transfers are subject to cross-border rules, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law (such as contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, as available).

We may update this Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The “Last updated” date below will be revised when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes notice of the updated Policy where permitted by law.
