Privacy policy

1. What we store

• Your account: your name, email address and password. The password is stored only as a secure hash, so nobody, not even us, can read it.
• Your biodatas: everything you type and upload, such as personal and family details, religion, caste, horoscope, education, contact details and photos, plus up to 20 earlier versions of each biodata for the version history.
• Messages you send us through the contact form: your name, email and message.
• Technical data: your IP address is used briefly to stop abuse (for example too many password reset requests), and our server keeps short error logs to fix problems.

2. Why we use it

• To show your biodatas to you, save your changes and create the files you download.
• To log you in, keep your account secure, and send you a password reset email when you ask for one.
• To answer your messages.
• To find and fix problems, and stop misuse of the site.

We do not use your biodata for advertising, we do not show it to other users, and we never sell or rent your data to anyone.

3. Cookies and your device

We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies, and there are no analytics or advertising tools on the site. Your browser’s local storage keeps a few things that make the site work: your login (so you stay logged in for up to 7 days), the greeting on your dashboard and some of your choices in the editor. Logging out removes your login from the device.

The site’s fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. To deliver them, Google receives your IP address and browser details, as it does for any website that uses Google Fonts; it does not receive anything you type in your biodata.

4. Who can see it

Only you, while logged in. A biodata leaves your account only when you download or share it yourself.

To run the site we rely on a small number of service providers: a hosting and database provider that stores the data, an email provider that delivers password reset emails and our replies, and Google Fonts (see above). They may only use the data to provide that service to us. Some of these providers may store data on servers outside India; we only use well-known providers that protect it.

We will share data with authorities only if Indian law requires it.

5. How long we keep it

• Your biodatas are kept until you delete them. Deleted biodatas go to the trash and are removed for good after 30 days, or straight away if you empty the trash.
• When you delete your account, your account, all your biodatas, their version history and photos are deleted immediately.
• Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to help you.

6. Keeping it safe

Passwords are hashed, every biodata is tied to its owner’s account, and the site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Password reset links work once and expire after 30 minutes, and changing your password logs out your other devices. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password that you don’t use elsewhere.

7. Your rights

Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can:

• see and correct your details, at any time in the editor and on your Profile;
• download your biodatas as PDF or image files;
• delete your biodatas or your whole account from your Profile;
• nominate a person who can exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to;
• ask us any question about your data, or make a complaint. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

For privacy questions or complaints, write to our grievance officer at support@shaadipatra.com. We aim to reply within 7 days.

8. Age

Accounts are for adults (18 or over). Parents and relatives often make a biodata for a family member; please do so only with their agreement.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for important changes, tell you on the site or by email.
