4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small data files placed on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies; however, some parts of our website may not function correctly if you do so.

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our website. These tools collect anonymised data and are governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures — including SSL encryption, secure servers, and access controls — to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law (for example, financial records must be retained for a minimum period under Indian law). When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
