Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains our practices relating to the collection, storage, usage, retention and disclosure of certain information, including your personal information, in the context of our service. Please read the entire policy below carefully before using the website.

Background

This Privacy Policy stands as an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and its rules. It aligns with amendments on electronic records across statutes. Our system generates this document automatically, eliminating the need for physical or digital signatures. The Act mandates clear rules, regulations, privacy terms, and usage guidelines for our platform, tasweermahal.com (“Website”). For this policy, we define key terms to ensure transparency in how we handle your data.

The Platform is owned, registered and operated by a team of cinema enthusiasts for the purpose of sharing information and increasing awareness about the performing arts. We aim to share cinema insights, boost awareness of performing arts, and facilitate reviews, critiques, and studies.

This Privacy Policy uses specific terms for clarity. “You,” “your,” or “user” refers to any natural person who accesses the platform. “We,” “us,” or “our” points to the company. All other defined terms carry the meanings outlined in our Terms of Use, available here on the Platform.

We skip requests for personal details on this site. This Privacy Policy outlines how Tasweermahal gathers, manages, stores, and safeguards your personal information during service use. It details your rights and ways to reach us with queries on data handling. The policy covers individuals accessing our services via websites, apps, our or third-party social media, electronic communications, and similar channels.

This policy excludes information you share with third parties or that they collect for tracking user behavior. We advise direct checks with those third parties on their privacy practices.

We hold the right to update this Privacy Policy as needed. Changes take effect right after we post them. Your ongoing use of the Platform or Services signals acceptance of these updates. Check the latest version regularly. If the terms do not suit you, refrain from using the Platform or Services.

We care about the privacy of our users, such as you. We respect the information that you provide to us and want to be sure you fully understand exactly how we use that information. By accepting to access our website at https://www.tasweermahal.com, you are also agreeing to this privacy policy (hereinafter referred to as “Privacy Policy”). Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

How We Gather and Use Your Data

Tasweermahal hardly asks for any personal data, but in the case of collecting details from users of our services, the data has two main categories.

First, personal information ties directly to you. It identifies individuals through data we hold or access. Examples cover your email interactions, text responses,  and contacts with our support team. We note timestamps, dates, and reasons for outreach, plus chat logs and call records. Anonymous or aggregated data falls outside this scope, as it no longer points to a specific person.

Second, the system automatically captures device and connection details. This encompasses your operating system, IP address, time zone, browser plugins, and type. As you browse, we track entry points, viewed pages, download issues, response times, and session durations. We obtain this data in straightforward ways. Navigation through our services triggers automatic collection, including usage stats, IP details, and tracking via cookies or web beacons.

How We Utilize Your Information

We apply the data we collect to support our services and enhance your experience. This includes several key areas.

We personalize all communications with your name. Your email address enables us to confirm newsletter subscriptions and deliver content directly. It also allows promotional updates on our offerings. We use it for any platform-related messages as needed.

We monitor your service usage patterns. This helps us refine quality, features, and overall functionality. We bolster security measures through this insight. Data backups ensure system reliability and swift disaster recovery. Finally, we enforce this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use when necessary.

These practices align with standard data handling in digital platforms, prioritizing transparency and user trust.

How We Share Your Information

The company refrains from selling, trading, renting, or disclosing your personal information to third parties. We take steps to protect it, yet full security remains challenging. Legal demands may force us to share data with the government or others. Unauthorized access by outsiders could occur through security breaches or errors on our platform. If issues arise, you permit us to release details to officials as law allows, aiding investigations.

We disclose personal information when required by applicable law. This happens if we deem it essential to safeguard our rights, prevent harm, or respond to court orders and legal processes tied to our platform.

Mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales trigger data transfers. The new entity receives personal information to maintain our services without interruption.

Beyond legal bounds, we share data with your consent. Good-faith beliefs guide us to protect rights, ensure safety, probe fraud, or address official requests. These practices balance privacy with operational needs, drawing from standard data protection frameworks.

How We Manage Your Data

We hold onto your personal and sensitive information during your active use of our platform services. This retention continues for a reasonable period afterward to support ongoing needs.

Our Use of Cookies

The platform employs temporary cookies—small files your browser stores during visits. These help us manage technical aspects, conduct research, and refine our services. Third-party cookies track visitor patterns to enhance quality. They avoid storing or sharing personal details.

Cookies clear automatically when you exit the browser. Use your browser’s clear function to ensure deletion—we cannot control device behaviors fully. Data from cookies supports advertising efforts, directly or indirectly.

Public Sharing on the Platform

Features like discussion forums and comments make your posts visible to all users and the public. This includes any personal information you share via messages or feedback. Proceed at your own risk. Disclosed personal details enter the public domain and fall under this Privacy Policy.

These practices align with standard data management in digital spaces, prioritizing security while enabling functionality.

Navigating Links (Third-Party Sites)

Our platform includes links to other sites, known as linked sites or third-party sites. These fall outside our control. We bear no responsibility for their content, including embedded links, updates, or changes.

Linked sites do not imply our referrals, endorsements, or partnerships with those entities.

Accessing linked sites binds you to their terms, privacy policies, and additional rules. You accept that we hold no direct or indirect liability for damages or losses from their content, ads, products, services, or materials. This covers errors, defamation, libel, slander, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography, or profanity.

Safeguarding Your Data

We apply industry-standard security measures, as mandated by Section 8 of the SPI Rules. These protect sensitive personal information from unauthorized access. Risks persist, however—we cannot erase them entirely.

Legal Framework

Indian laws govern this Privacy Policy, ignoring conflict principles. Bangalore courts hold exclusive jurisdiction over disputes. You consent to this and waive objections to their authority. These guidelines draw from established digital practices, ensuring clarity in our operations.

Our Pledge to Data Security

We prioritize the protection of your privacy and the safety of all data you share, including sensitive personal information. Confidentiality ranks at the forefront of our operations. We adhere strictly to applicable data protection laws. This includes the General Data Protection Regulation, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and its associated rules. We also follow relevant statutes, amendments, and guidelines to maintain robust standards.

These measures ensure we handle your information with care. They align our practices with global and local benchmarks for transparency and accountability.
