Privacy notice

1. Who we are

Archora Studio is run by Dhruv Rattan as a sole proprietor, based in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. For anything about your data, email [email protected].

2. What this notice covers

This website, enquiries you send us, emails between us, demo calls, and business emails or LinkedIn messages we send to people at companies we think may need our work.

3. What we collect

• When you send an enquiry: your name, work email, company, and anything else you choose to add (role, website, project details, a link to drawings). We also record which page the form was on and, if the link you followed had one, a reference tag.
• When you email us: your email address and what you write.
• When you visit the site: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without tracking you across sites. Our host, Cloudflare, also processes IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.
• If we contacted you first: your name, role, company and business email address, taken from public business sources such as your company website or LinkedIn, plus a note of where we found it and why we thought our work was relevant to your company.

4. Why we use it, and on what basis

• To reply to your enquiry, prepare a quote and do the work you ask for.
• To send a small number of relevant business emails to people at companies that may need our work, with a way to opt out in every message.
• To understand, in aggregate, which pages people read.

Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we rely on steps you ask us to take before a contract, and on our legitimate interest in replying to you and in relevant business-to-business contact. Where India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 applies, we process the data you give us for the purpose you gave it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. We don't sell your data and don't use advertising trackers.

5. Who handles it for us

These providers may store data outside your country, including in the United States. We rely on their published safeguards for international transfers.

6. How long we keep it

• Enquiries and project emails: up to 24 months after our last contact, or longer if we work together and the law requires it.
• Outreach contacts who don't reply: deleted within 6 months.
• Opt-outs: if you ask us not to contact you, we keep only your email address on a do-not-contact list, so we never email you again.

7. Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to our use of it (including any outreach), or withdraw consent. Email [email protected] and we'll reply within 30 days. In India you can also nominate someone to exercise these rights for you, and complain to the Data Protection Board of India. In the UK you can complain to the ICO, and in the EU to your local data protection authority.

8. Cookies

This site doesn't set cookies.

9. Security

The site is served over HTTPS, and only the studio's founder has access to enquiries and our contact records.

10. Changes

If we change this notice, we'll update the date at the top.
