Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Poriyaalan Architects & Builders (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, discloses and safeguards your personal data when you visit poriyaalanarchitects.in (the “website”) or contact us through it. We act as the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described below, and we process it in accordance with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the “DPDP Act”) and applicable rules.

1. Who we are

Poriyaalan Architects & Builders is a residential architecture, structural engineering and construction firm based in Theni, Tamil Nadu, India. For any privacy-related query you can reach us using the details in the Contact us section below.

2. What data we collect

We collect two broad categories of data:

a. Information you give us

When you fill in our contact form or otherwise reach out, we collect the details you choose to provide — typically your name, phone number, email address and the contents of your message (such as your project requirements or enquiry).

b. Information collected automatically

When you browse the website, certain technical information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies — for example your approximate location (derived from your IP address), device and browser type, the pages you visit, and how you interact with them. This is used in aggregate to understand website traffic and improve the site.

3. Cookies and analytics

We use the following analytics and supporting services:

• Google Analytics 4 — a web-analytics service provided by Google that uses cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, sessions, general location). It loads only after you accept analytics cookies — until then Google Analytics does not run and no data is sent to Google. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses. Google processes this data on our behalf; see Google’s own Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics service that measures aggregate traffic without tracking individuals across sites.
• Cloudflare Turnstile — used on our contact form to protect against spam and abuse; it may set a token to verify that a submission is genuine.

Most browsers let you control or delete cookies through their settings, and you can block or remove them at any time. Disabling cookies will not stop you from using the website, though some measurement may no longer function.

4. How we use your data

• To respond to your enquiries and provide the services you request.
• To contact you about your project, quotation or appointment.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the website.
• To understand aggregate website usage through analytics.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect against misuse or fraud.

5. Our lawful basis

We process your personal data on the basis of your consent — for example, when you voluntarily submit the contact form, or when you click “Accept” on our cookie banner to enable analytics. Where applicable, we also rely on the legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act, such as responding to a request you have made. You can withdraw your consent at any time: for analytics, use the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer; for other matters, contact us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out.

6. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and our business — including Google (analytics) and Cloudflare (hosting, security and analytics) — and only to the extent needed for those services. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our rights, safety or property.

7. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law. Enquiry and contact details are retained for the period needed to serve you and maintain our business records; analytics data is retained according to the providers’ standard retention settings.

8. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act, as a Data Principal you have the right to:

• Access a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or updating of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your personal data, subject to legal limits.
• Withdraw consent you previously gave.
• Nominate another person to exercise your rights in specified cases.
• Raise a grievance about how we handle your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

9. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and access controls — to protect your personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-party links

The website may link to third-party sites (for example our social media profiles). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies.

11. Children’s data

The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect the personal data of children without the consent of a parent or lawful guardian as required by the DPDP Act. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can remove it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Significant changes will be posted on this page.
