This Privacy Policy explains how SHASTRA LOKAM, a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Abhi Krishnan Rajendra Prasad ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit www.shastralokam.com or engage our services.

1. Information We Collect

• Contact information you share with us — name, email address, phone number, business name, and address — when you enquire, request a quote, or become a client.
• Project information — requirements, content, credentials, and materials you provide so we can deliver the agreed services.
• Billing information — invoicing details such as billing name, address, and GST or other tax identifiers where applicable.
• Technical information — basic analytics such as pages visited, approximate location, browser, and device type, collected through cookies or similar tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to enquiries and provide quotations.
• To deliver, maintain, and support the services you engage us for.
• To raise invoices, collect payments, and maintain accounting records.
• To send service-related communication such as project updates, invoices, and renewal reminders.
• To improve our website and services.

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

3. Payments

Online payments are processed through secure third-party payment gateways (such as Cashfree Payments). Your card, UPI, or bank details are collected and processed directly by the payment gateway on their PCI-DSS-compliant systems; we do not store your card or banking credentials. Payment gateways process your data under their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and basic analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will remain usable, though some features may work less smoothly.

5. Sharing of Information

We share information only with: (a) service providers necessary to deliver our work — such as hosting providers, domain registrars, and payment gateways; (b) professional advisers such as accountants where required; and (c) authorities where disclosure is required by law. Each receives only what is necessary for their role.

6. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law (for example, accounting records). We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards — including encrypted connections and access controls — to protect your information.

7. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal record-keeping obligations, by writing to info@shastralokam.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

8. Changes to This Policy
