This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and other applicable Indian law.

This policy applies to visitors and account holders of our website and any Google OAuth sign-in used to access the site. It covers data collected through forms, accounts, bookings, store checkout, patrika orders, emails, SMS/WhatsApp where enabled, and payment gateways.

It does not cover third-party websites we link to (for example YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or payment provider pages). Their own policies apply once you leave our site.

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

We use personal data to:

We process personal data with your consent (for example when you submit a form or sign in with Google), to perform a contract (orders, bookings, patrika preparation), for legitimate operational needs that do not override your rights (security, audit, service improvement), and where required by Indian law.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with processors who help us run the service, under appropriate safeguards:

We use essential cookies and similar storage for authentication, security, language preference, shopping cart, and guest order access. These are required for the site to function.

We do not currently run third-party advertising cookies. If we add analytics later, we will update this policy and, where required, show a consent notice before non-essential cookies run.

We keep account, booking, order, payment, and patrika records for as long as needed to fulfil the service, meet tax and accounting duties, resolve disputes, and maintain audit integrity. Birth details tied to an open or completed patrika order are retained while the order and download records remain necessary.

You may request deletion of account data as described below. Some records may be retained in anonymised or legally required form after an account is closed.

We use HTTPS, hashed passwords, role-based staff access, and server-side validation. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. Please use a strong password and keep your login details private.

Accounts and paid services are intended for persons 18 years or older. A parent or legal guardian may submit a minor’s birth details solely to obtain a consultation or patrika for that child. Do not create an account for a child under 18.

Subject to Indian law, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, withdrawal of consent where processing is consent-based, and erasure or restriction where applicable. You may also raise a grievance with us.

To exercise these rights, email ask@deshpandepanchang.com with the subject “Privacy request” and enough detail for us to verify your identity and locate your records. We will respond within a reasonable period required by law.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may pursue remedies available under the DPDP Act and other applicable Indian law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of the page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy, except where consent is separately required by law.
