Privacy Policy

This website is operated by Deepak Shinde Studio, Mumbai, India ("the Studio," "we," "us"). This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, why, and how we handle it. We keep it simple, because our practices are simple: we collect only what you give us, we use it only to correspond with you, and we do not sell or trade it.

Enquiries. When you write to us, we collect your name, email address, message, the purpose of your enquiry, and — if you choose to provide it — your phone number. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry and to maintain a record of our correspondence with you.

Mailing list. If you join the Studio's mailing list, we collect your email address and use it to send occasional letters on new work and exhibitions. Every letter includes an unsubscribe link; unsubscribing takes effect immediately.

Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics services may collect standard technical data (such as browser type, device, pages visited, and approximate location derived from IP address) to keep the site functioning and to understand how it is used.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not use your information for advertising. We do not send marketing on behalf of third parties.

This website uses only essential cookies required for its operation, and no tracking or advertising cookies. For this reason, we do not present a cookie consent banner.

Your information is stored with our website hosting and email service providers. We retain enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to serve the relationship it concerns, and mailing-list addresses until you unsubscribe.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable data protection law — including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation — to access the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to have it erased, or to object to its use. To exercise any of these rights, write to studio@deepakshinde.com. We respond to all such requests. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

If you have a concern about how your personal information has been handled, or wish to escalate a request, you may write to our Grievance Officer:

• Name: Shoan Shinde
• Email: admin@deepakshinde.com

We acknowledge and address all grievances within the timelines prescribed under applicable law, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

This website is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. The version published on this page is the version in force, with its effective date above.
