Privacy Policy

Rakhi & Co. ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect through rakhiandco.com, why we collect it, how it's used, and the rights you have over it under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").

1. What we collect

At this stage, the site is a waitlist and editorial platform — we do not yet process payments or shipping details. What we currently collect:

We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, contact us using the details below and we will remove it.

2. How we use your data

• To send you waitlist and early-access communications you've signed up for
• To understand how people use the site, so we can improve it
• To meet legal or regulatory obligations, where applicable

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Consent

By submitting your email through the waitlist form, you consent to us processing it for the purposes described above, in line with the DPDP Act. You may withdraw this consent at any time — see Section 6 below.

4. Where your data is stored

Waitlist emails are stored and managed using Zoho Campaigns, an email marketing platform. Zoho processes this data on our behalf under its own security and privacy standards. We do not store waitlist data on our own servers separately.

5. Data retention

We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to the waitlist or our communications. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, your data is removed within a reasonable period, except where we're required to retain records for legal reasons.

6. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct or update inaccurate data
• Withdraw consent and request erasure of your data
• Raise a grievance if you believe your data has been misused

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@rakhiandco.com. You can also unsubscribe directly from any email we send you.

7. Cookies

The site may use basic cookies or similar technology for analytics purposes (understanding traffic and usage). These do not collect sensitive personal information.

8. Changes to this policy

As the business grows — particularly once the site begins processing orders, payments, and shipping — this policy will be updated to reflect that, including any new categories of data collected.

9. Grievance Officer

In accordance with the DPDP Act, for any privacy-related queries or grievances, you may contact:

Rakhi & Co.
