Effective date: 2 April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Manasaram Architects (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website [manasaramarchitects.com], contact us, apply for a job, or otherwise interact with our services.

By accessing or using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described below. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or contact us.

1. What personal information do we collect

We may collect the following types of personal information:

  • Contact details: name, email address, phone number, city, and organisation (for example, when you submit a project inquiry, contact form, or email enquiry).

  • Project‑related information: brief project descriptions, site photos, and other details you share with us for design or consultation purposes.

  • Job‑application data: When you apply for a position with Manasaram Architects, we may collect your name, contact details, resume/CV, portfolio, work history, and other information relevant to the recruitment process. We may also retain notes or records from interviews or assessments conducted as part of the hiring process.

  • Website usage data: IP address, device type, browser information, pages visited, and referral source, collected automatically via server logs and analytics tools (if used).

  • Cookies and tracking: We may use cookies or similar tools to improve site performance and user experience (you can disable non‑essential tracking via your browser settings).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as biometric or financial data) unless explicitly required for a specific service, and even then, only in compliance with applicable law.

2. How we use your information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your inquiries and provide architectural and design services.

  • To manage and communicate about projects, including sending design updates, proposals, or follow‑ups.

  • To review job applications, conduct interviews, and manage our recruitment process when you apply for a position.

  • To improve and maintain our website, including debugging, analytics, and user‑experience enhancements (if analytics tools are enabled).

  • To send occasional newsletters or updates if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time).

  • To comply with legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations where necessary.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Sharing and disclosure of data

We may share your personal information only in the following situations:

  • With service providers (for example, hosting, email, or design collaboration platforms) who assist us in operating the website or delivering services, provided they agree to similar data‑protection standards.

  • With third‑party professionals (such as consultants, contractors, or partners), only when needed for a specific project or for recruitment purposes, and subject to confidentiality obligations.

  • If required by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

If data is transferred outside India, we will comply with applicable data‑protection requirements, including those under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 and other relevant laws.

4. Data security and retention

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including using secure servers, access controls, and encryption where appropriate. However, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, such as completing a project, managing recruitment, or complying with legal, tax, or audit requirements (typically a defined retention period, e.g., 3–7 years, depending on legal advice).

5. Your rights (users in India/EU/other regions)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or update your personal information.

  • Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer needed.

  • Restrict or object to certain processing activities.

  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time (for example, by using the “unsubscribe” link in emails).

To exercise any of these rights or to ask questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us using the details below.

6. Cookies and tracking technologies

Our website may use cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences and login state (if applicable).

  • Analyse traffic and understand how visitors use the site, which helps us improve performance and content.

7. Children’s privacy

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
