Privacy Policy

01  /  Overview

Who We Are

Studio SP is a professional interior architecture studio headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Our website is a portfolio platform designed to showcase our work, practice, and contact information to prospective clients, collaborators, and the general public.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Studio SP acts as the Data Fiduciary in respect of any personal data that may be processed in connection with this website, as defined under Section 2(i) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

02  /  Data Collection

What Data We Collect

This website is a static portfolio website. It does not contain any forms, registration pages, login systems, newsletter sign-up mechanisms, comment sections, or any other interactive data-collection interface.

However, as is standard with any web server, certain technical information may be automatically recorded when you access this website. This includes:

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, as assigned by your internet service provider
• The type and version of your web browser and operating system
• The date, time, and duration of your visit
• The pages on this website that you viewed
• The URL of any referring website from which you arrived

This server log data is retained by our hosting provider for security, operational monitoring, and abuse prevention purposes only. It is not used by Studio SP for marketing, profiling, or any other commercial purpose, and is not linked to any individual's identity.

03  /  Cookies

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

This website does not deploy first-party cookies for the purpose of tracking individual users. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other user behaviour analytics platform that would require a cookie consent banner under applicable law.

Your web browser may independently store certain technical data (such as cached images or temporary files) as part of its standard functioning. This is outside our control and governed by your browser's own settings and privacy policy.

Should any third-party services — such as embedded fonts from Google Fonts — be incorporated into this website, such services may independently set their own cookies or collect limited technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any such third parties.

04  /  Legal Framework

Applicable Laws & Compliance

This Privacy Policy is drafted in accordance with and in furtherance of the following legislation and judicial guidelines:

• Information Technology Act, 2000 — including Section 43A, which requires body corporates handling sensitive personal data to maintain reasonable security practices
• IT (SPDI) Rules, 2011 — setting out disclosure and consent requirements for sensitive personal data or information
• Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) — India's primary data protection legislation establishing the rights of Data Principals and obligations of Data Fiduciaries
• Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 — governing disclosures for e-commerce platforms (noted for completeness; not applicable to this portfolio website)
• Directions and guidelines of the Bombay High Court, including those relating to digital disclosure obligations, online intermediaries, and cyber-civil jurisdiction

As this website does not collect, store, or process personal data, the formal obligations under the DPDPA (such as obtaining consent, appointing a Data Protection Officer, or registering as a Significant Data Fiduciary) do not presently apply. Should this position change, this policy will be updated accordingly.

05  /  Your Rights

Rights of Data Principals

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, individuals whose personal data is processed have the right to access, correct, and erase their data; the right to nominate a representative; and the right to grieve any violation through prescribed channels. These rights apply to data that is actively processed — as we do not retain or process personal data through this website, these rights have limited direct application here.

Nonetheless, if you believe that any personal data relating to you has been inadvertently recorded or retained in connection with your use of this website, you are welcome to contact us at the details below and we will address your concern promptly and in good faith.

Any grievance submitted to us will be acknowledged within 48 hours and resolved within 30 days, in accordance with applicable regulatory timelines.

06  /  Third Parties

Third-Party Links & Services

This website may contain hyperlinks to external websites, social media platforms, or digital publications for the purpose of professional reference. Studio SP has no control over the content or privacy practices of such third-party platforms and is not responsible for their data handling.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any external website they choose to navigate to from our site. The inclusion of any link does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee by Studio SP.

07  /  Data Security

Security Practices

In compliance with Section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IT (SPDI) Rules, 2011, Studio SP maintains reasonable security practices and procedures in relation to the infrastructure supporting this website. Our hosting environment employs industry-standard security measures including HTTPS/TLS encryption, access controls, and routine security assessments.

As no sensitive personal data or information is collected via this website, the risk of data breach through this platform is minimal. In the unlikely event of a security incident that could affect visitor data, we will take immediate remedial steps and make appropriate disclosures in accordance with our legal obligations.

08  /  Children

Minors & Children's Data

This website is not directed at children under the age of 18, nor does it knowingly collect data from minors. Under Section 9 of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the processing of personal data of children requires verifiable parental consent. As no personal data is collected through this website, this provision does not apply; however, we affirm our commitment to child safety in all digital contexts.

09  /  Amendments

Changes to This Policy

Studio SP reserves the right to revise or update this Privacy Policy at any time in response to changes in applicable law, judicial guidance, or the features and functionality of this website. Any material changes will be reflected in the "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this document.

Continued use of this website following any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
