Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 07-01-2026

Gangamma Devi Ventures, LLP ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 ("IT Act"), the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"), the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and other applicable Indian data protection laws. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, safeguard, and protect personal data when you access, browse, or use our online platform (including the website at www.weddingshedding.com or any mobile application) (“Platform”). The Platform connects persons looking to plan weddings ("Customers" or "Clients") with independent vendors ("Vendors") for wedding-related services ("Services"). We act solely as an intermediary and platform to connect the Customers to the Vendors.

By using our Platform, you consent to the collection, use, processing, and disclosure of your personal data as described in this Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Please ensure you periodically check our Policy to keep yourself updated with the latest privacy practices adopted by us. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when this Policy was last revised. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

Please be informed that our Platform is built, hosted, and technically operated on the third-party platform https://www.wix.com/ (“Wix”). As a result, all personal data collected through the Platform is primarily processed and stored on Wix’s servers and infrastructure in accordance with Wix’s own privacy policy and security practices. We access and further process the data made available to us through Wix.

This Policy forms part of our Terms and Conditions and applies to information collected and processed by us, including data we receive from Wix. This Policy does not apply to the practices of Wix itself or to other third-party websites or services linked from our Platform. For information about how Wix collects, uses, and protects your data, please review Wix’s Privacy Policy at https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

Anonymized or aggregated data (not reasonably identifying you) may be shared for research, marketing, analytics, or statistical purposes.

International transfers (if any) are protected by appropriate safeguards under the DPDP Act, such as standard contractual clauses.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, or as required/permitted by law (e.g., for disputes, audits, or legal holds, typically up to 5 (five) years post-termination). Account information is kept during active use and for a reasonable period thereafter. Upon account deletion or consent withdrawal, we will delete or anonymize data within a reasonable timeframe, except for backups/archives (retained securely for a limited period) or legally required data. You can request details on retention periods by contacting us.

Once deleted, we will no longer have access to such data and would not be able to retrieve the same, even on request of the user.

b) Access controls, firewalls, and multi-factor authentication.

c) Regular security assessments, audits, vulnerability scans, and employee training.

However, as we rely on third-party hosting providers such as https://www.wix.com/, certain security measures related to hosting, server infrastructure, storage, and transmission are handled by such providers in accordance with their own security standards and certifications.

Furthermore, no internet-based transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Services at your own risk for any breaches beyond our reasonable control. We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations under this Policy due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to cyberattacks, hacking incidents, system failures, natural disasters, or actions of third parties. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and notifying us immediately of any suspected unauthorized access at info@weddingshedding.com
