1. Information We Collect

When you submit an enquiry through our website, we collect the following personal information via our contact and enquiry forms:

This information is submitted voluntarily by you through forms powered by Formspree, a third-party form processing service. We do not collect information passively beyond what is described in the Cookies section below.

We do not require you to create an account or provide any information beyond what is needed to respond to your enquiry.

2. How We Use Your Information

The personal information you provide is used solely for the following purposes:

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. Vendor partners receive only the minimum information necessary to deliver your event (e.g., guest counts, dietary requirements, event date), and only after you have engaged our services.

3. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

We select third-party services that maintain reasonable data protection standards, but we are not responsible for their independent data practices. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

4. Cookies

We use analytics and advertising tools to understand visits, improve the enquiry journey and measure campaigns:

Google Ads and the Meta pixel measure advertising interactions and conversions. These services can receive browser identifiers and activity on our website. We do not include your enquiry name, phone number or message in our conversion event payloads.

Microsoft Clarity records page interactions for heatmaps and session replay, helping us identify navigation and form problems. It uses cookies and other tracking technologies. Enquiry forms are masked in recordings. Read the Microsoft Privacy Statement for details of Microsoft’s data use.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to browse our website or submit enquiry forms.

Optional ChatGPT ad measurement

If you arrive through our ChatGPT ads, we offer an optional measurement choice on enquiry forms. It is unchecked by default. Declining does not affect your enquiry. We load the OpenAI advertising pixel only after you opt in, and count an enquiry only after our website confirms delivery. A WhatsApp click is not counted as a submitted enquiry.

When enabled, OpenAI can receive browser and advertising identifiers, page activity and a lead-created event. Its automatic advanced matching may detect supported contact information and securely hash it in your browser before transmission. Hashing does not make information anonymous. We do not put your message or contact values in our own conversion event payload. OpenAI's attribution cookies include __oppref (up to 30 days) and __obref (up to 365 days). Read the OpenAI Privacy Policy.

Your choice is remembered for this browser tab's session. Uncheck the option below to stop future ChatGPT measurement; you can also remove existing cookies through browser settings. We respect Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track for this integration. This choice controls ChatGPT measurement, separately from the other services described above.

Wedding questions and our AI guide

Our wedding chat searches published Panigrahana pages. When AI selection is available, your question, a short recent conversation context and relevant public website passages are processed through our hosting provider, Netlify, and Anthropic’s API to select source passages. Our server supplies the displayed website excerpts and source links. The guide cannot confirm live availability or issue a final quote.

Please do not put personal, payment or sensitive details into chat questions. Conversation text stays in the current page’s memory and is not saved by our chat feature to browser storage or to the enquiry system. Our chat code does not log question text; hosting and AI providers may retain service records under their own policies. Read Anthropic’s privacy policy.

Choosing to speak with our team opens a separate form. You can review and edit the brief before submitting your name, WhatsApp number and consent through our enquiry service. Chatting alone does not create an enquiry. The browser may store a one-way digest and an opaque request reference to prevent duplicate enquiries on retry; this contains no readable conversation or contact fields. Chat analytics record actions such as opening the guide or requesting contact, not your questions or contact values. The widget is marked for masking in session recordings.

Wedding planning tools and private family links

Your planning brief, comparisons, family notes and change records are saved in this browser using local storage. They do not automatically sync with a client account. Use the tools’ clear controls or clear browser site data to remove local records. Exported files remain wherever you save or share them.

Creating a private family link uploads an encrypted, read-only snapshot to Netlify storage. The decryption key is carried in the link fragment. Anyone with the complete link can read the snapshot, so share it only with intended recipients. Enquiry contact fields are excluded; names or personal details you type into planning notes may be included.

Shared links stop working after seven days. Revoking a link deletes its stored snapshot; an expired snapshot is deleted when accessed. Expiry alone does not guarantee immediate removal from storage. Copies already downloaded or saved by recipients cannot be revoked. The shared viewing page does not load our analytics scripts.

Submitting an enquiry sends the details shown in the form to Panigrahana through our existing enquiry service. Permission to share your enquiry with shortlisted venues is a separate, optional checkbox.

5. Data Retention

We retain enquiry data (name, contact details, wedding preferences) for a maximum of 24 months from the date of submission, unless you become a client, in which case data is retained for the duration of the engagement and a reasonable period thereafter for business records.

After 24 months, enquiry data from non-clients is securely deleted from our systems. Data held by third-party processors (Formspree, Google Analytics) is subject to their respective retention policies.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at info@panigrahana.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

6. Your Rights

In accordance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and applicable data protection principles, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@panigrahana.com. We will respond to all requests within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 18, we will promptly delete that information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information through our website, please contact us at info@panigrahana.com and we will take appropriate action.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, third-party services, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

For material changes that significantly affect how we handle your data, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals directly.
