Introduction

At Patrika, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our digital wedding invitation service.

We are committed to transparency and keeping your data minimal, secure, and under your control.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you create an invitation, you voluntarily provide:

Couple names
Wedding date and time
Venue details and location
Event schedule and descriptions
Photos you upload
Any custom messages or text

Technical Information

We automatically collect basic technical data to keep the service running:

Device type and browser information
Approximate location (country)
Pages visited and time spent
Invitation link access patterns (to prevent abuse)

We do not require you to create an account or provide an email address to use the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

Generate and display your digital wedding invitation
Create a unique shareable link for your invitation
Ensure the service runs smoothly and securely
Prevent fraud, spam, and abuse
Improve our templates and user experience

We do not:

Sell your data to third parties
Use your information for advertising
Share your data with marketing companies
Track you across other websites

3. Data Storage and Retention

Your invitation data is stored securely on our servers. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information.

Automatic De-listing:10 days after the last event on your invitation, it is automatically archived and de-listed — your invitation link stops working and it is no longer publicly accessible. This ensures your invitation doesn't stay reachable on the public internet longer than necessary.

Anonymous analytics data (page views, device types) may be retained longer for service improvement purposes, but this data cannot identify you personally.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

Service Providers: Trusted third-party services that help us operate (hosting, analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government regulation.
Protection: To protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of our users.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies and similar technologies to:

Remember your design preferences during creation
Keep the service functioning properly
Understand basic usage patterns (anonymized)

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality.

6. Your Photos and Content

You retain all rights to the photos and content you upload. By using the Service, you grant us permission to:

Display your photos in your invitation
Store your photos securely until automatic deletion
Process and optimize images for web display

We will never use your photos for marketing, promotional materials, or any purpose other than displaying your invitation—unless you explicitly give us permission.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data:

Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/SSL)
Secure server infrastructure
Regular security updates and monitoring
Limited employee access to personal data

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Know what data we have about you
Request deletion of your invitation before the automatic deletion date
Opt out of analytics tracking
Ask questions about how we handle your data

To exercise these rights, contact us at suryanagare23@gmail.com

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is intended for adults planning weddings. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

10. International Users

Our servers are located in India. If you access the Service from outside India, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in India. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date.

Significant changes will be communicated through a notice on our website or via other appropriate means.
