Privacy Policy

At Pandit Studio ("we", "us", "our"), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit panditstudiomrt.com or book our photography and videography services, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that you choose to share with us, such as when you fill in the booking form or contact us:

• Contact details: your name and phone number.
• Booking details: the event type you select, event date, venue or city, and any message you write.
• Photos and videos: the photos and videos we take at your wedding or event as part of our services.
• Communication: messages you send us on WhatsApp, phone or email.

Like most websites, our web server also automatically records basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. This is used only for security and to keep the website running properly.

2. How the Booking Form Works

Our website does not store your booking form details on our server. When you submit the form, your details are put into a WhatsApp message which opens on your device. The information is sent to us only when you press "Send" in WhatsApp. After that, the message is handled by WhatsApp according to its own privacy policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To check availability and confirm your wedding or event booking.
• To share quotations, packages and event planning details with you.
• To shoot, edit and deliver your photos, videos and albums.
• To contact you about your booking by phone, WhatsApp or email.
• To answer your questions and provide customer support.
• To improve our services and keep our website secure.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone.

4. Sharing Your Information

We share your information only when needed to provide our services:

• Our team: the photographers, videographers and editors working on your event receive the details they need to cover it.
• Service providers: such as WhatsApp (Meta) for messaging, Google Fonts for displaying text and Google Maps for showing our location on our website, and printing labs for albums and prints.
• Legal reasons: if required by law, court order or a government authority.

5. Your Photos and Videos

The photos and videos we create at your event are delivered only to you. We may share a small selection of them on our website, Instagram (@panditstudiomrt) or other social media to show our work. If you do not want your photos or videos to be shared publicly, just tell us before or after your event and we will not post them, or we will remove them.

We keep a backup copy of your photos and videos for a limited period after delivery so we can help if you lose your copy. Please keep your own copy safe.

6. Cookies

Our website does not use cookies for advertising or tracking. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising tools. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts and the map is shown using Google Maps. These Google services may receive your IP address and may set their own cookies.

7. Data Security

Our website uses a secure HTTPS connection. We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. However, no method of sending information over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep your booking information only as long as needed to provide our services, handle follow-ups, and meet legal or accounting requirements. You can ask us to delete it at any time.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct any incorrect information.
• Ask us to delete your information.
• Withdraw your consent to be contacted by us.

To make any of these requests, please contact us using the details below.

10. Children's Privacy

Bookings must be made by adults. Children may appear in photos and videos of family events; such photos are taken with the consent of their parents or guardians, and we will not post them publicly if a parent or guardian asks us not to.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites, such as WhatsApp. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, so please read their privacy policies.
