For the purpose of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act") we are the "Data Fiduciary" of personal data collected through this Site. For users in the EU/EEA we act as the equivalent "Data Controller" under GDPR principles.

We only collect information that is reasonably needed to respond to enquiries and deliver our services:

• Contact details you provide voluntarily — name, phone number, email address — when you submit a quote form, call, or message us on WhatsApp.
• Project information — site address, scope of work, timelines and any details you choose to share.
• Technical data collected automatically — IP address, device and browser type, approximate location (city level), referring URL, pages viewed and time on page.
• Communications — the content of messages, calls or emails you send us.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, financial account credentials, or government-issued IDs through this Site.

• To respond to your enquiry and provide a quotation.
• To schedule, perform, invoice and deliver the services you have requested.
• To communicate updates, schedule changes and follow-ups about your project.
• To improve the Site, our content and customer experience.
• To prevent fraud, spam and abuse, and to maintain the security of the Site.
• To comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations.

Lawful basis: we process your data on the basis of your consent (when you submit a form), our contractual obligations to you, our legitimate business interests, and where required by law.

This Site uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function (e.g. security, form submission). These cannot be turned off.
• Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) — help us understand how visitors use the Site, on an aggregate basis. Data is pseudonymised and we do not attempt to identify individual visitors.
• Advertising cookies (e.g. Google Ads, Meta Pixel) — may be used to measure ad performance, attribute conversions and show relevant ads on third-party platforms. These are only set when you arrive from, or interact with, our paid campaigns.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, opt out of personalised Google ads at adssettings.google.com, and opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Some Site features may not work as expected if cookies are disabled.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with:

• Authorised employees, operators and subcontractors who help deliver your project, under confidentiality obligations.
• Trusted service providers we use to operate this Site and our communications — including hosting, email, analytics and advertising platforms (e.g. Google, Meta) — who process data on our instructions.
• Professional advisors (accountants, lawyers, insurers) where reasonably required.
• Authorities, courts or regulators where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property or the safety of any person.

Some of these providers (e.g. Google) may transfer data outside India. We rely on their published safeguards and contractual commitments for such transfers.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — typically up to 24 months from your last interaction for enquiries that do not become projects, and up to 8 years for project records (to meet tax, contractual and statutory requirements). When no longer required, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures — including access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and database-level security policies — to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is, however, 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Subject to applicable law, including the DPDP Act and GDPR principles, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal information ("right to erasure").
• Withdraw consent for any processing based on consent, at any time.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India or your local data-protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at ajazpasha9036677076@gmail.com or use our Contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

This Site contains links to third-party services such as Google Maps, WhatsApp, Gmail and social platforms. Once you click through, you are subject to the privacy practices of those third parties. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies separately.

Our services are intended for businesses, property owners and adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements or for other operational reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted at the top of the page.
