By using the Website, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect your name, email address, mobile number, city or location, communication preferences, profile photo, professional role, portfolio links, experience, equipment information, availability, support requirements, collaboration details, business information, messages, enquiries and other information that you choose to provide.
4. SUPPORTER AND CONTRIBUTION INFORMATION
If you support Production #1, we may collect your name, email, phone number, contribution amount, supporter category, transaction or reference number, payment date, payment status, certificate information, recognition preference, event eligibility and communication history. Supporter benefits and recognition arrangements are subject to the participation terms published on the Website and confirmation by the Team.
5. PAYMENT INFORMATION
Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers or by bank transfer. Payment providers may process payment method, transaction information, payment reference and payment status. We do not ask for or require your UPI PIN, ATM PIN, banking password, OTP, CVV, card PIN or other confidential banking credentials through the Website, email, WhatsApp, social media or telephone. Never send those credentials to the Team.
6. PRACTICAL SUPPORT
You may offer food and catering, transport, equipment, locations, accommodation, costumes, props, marketing, publicity or other practical support. We may collect your name, email, phone number, city, support category, description, quantity, proposed timing, arrangement details and related communications. An offer is reviewed privately and does not automatically mean that the Team has accepted it.
7. CREW AND COLLABORATION
Technicians, DOPs, camera-team members, lighting technicians, sound technicians, artists and other collaborators may submit their name, email, phone, city, role, portfolio, experience, equipment, availability, previous work, messages and other application information. Authorised Team members may review this information for recruitment and collaboration. Roles, dates, equipment arrangements and compensation are agreed separately before joining.
8. BRANDING AND PARTNERSHIPS
For advertising, sponsorship or branding enquiries, we may collect your name, organisation, email, phone, website or social links, product or service information, proposed partnership, campaign requirements, budget or quotation information and related communications. An enquiry does not itself create a partnership agreement.
9. TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
The Website may facilitate enquiries for websites, web applications, mobile applications, hosting, maintenance, digital marketing and SEO through an independent technology partner. We may use your requirements to prepare a quotation, communicate with you, coordinate with that partner and administer a commercial relationship. These services are separate commercial arrangements and do not create ownership or investment rights in Production #1.
10. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION
When you use the Website, technical information may be collected automatically, including IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language preference, pages visited, approximate access time, referring website, session information, device identifiers where applicable, security logs and diagnostic information. We use this information for security, performance, troubleshooting and misuse detection.
11. COOKIES AND SESSIONS
We may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, account sessions, security, preferences, Website functionality, analytics and performance monitoring. Some cookies are necessary for the Website to function. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling necessary cookies may affect account features.
12. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use personal information to process and reconcile contributions, maintain supporter records, issue certificates, provide confirmed benefits, publish production updates, administer recognition and events, review crew and collaboration applications, coordinate practical support, respond to commercial enquiries, operate accounts, maintain security, prevent fraud, troubleshoot, improve the Website, maintain financial records, comply with law, resolve disputes and protect our rights.
13. COMMUNICATIONS
We may contact you about contributions, payment confirmation, certificates, supporter benefits, production milestones, events, account activity, applications, collaboration, practical support, branding proposals, technology services, security matters, policy updates and other matters connected with your Website interaction. Where applicable law requires it, marketing messages will provide an opt-out method.
14. PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Supporters may be recognised through a digital supporter list, certificates, film-related ceremonies, social media, events, promotional material or film credits. Private account information is not automatically public. We will seek appropriate permission or provide an appropriate choice where public display of a name or other personal information requires consent. You may contact us to correct recognition information.
15. EVENTS, FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Production activities, celebrations, screenings, premieres and other events may be photographed, filmed or recorded. If you attend, you may appear incidentally. Recordings may be used to document and promote Tales of Mahalakshmi or Production #1, including on social media, publicity, trailers, promotional material and archives. Where separate consent is legally required, we will follow the applicable consent process.
16. SHARING INFORMATION
Where reasonably necessary, we may share information with payment processors, hosting and cloud providers, email or SMS providers, technology and Website support providers, analytics providers, event or venue partners, professional advisers, accountants, auditors, legal advisers, service providers working on our behalf, and government or law-enforcement authorities where legally required. We limit information shared to what is reasonably necessary for the purpose.
17. WE DO NOT SELL PERSONAL INFORMATION
Tales of Mahalakshmi does not intend to sell personal information as a standalone commercial asset. Trusted service providers may process information on our behalf to operate the Website and project.
18. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures such as access controls, authentication, restricted administration, secure hosting, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, logging, backups and need-to-know access. No Internet-based system can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep your account credentials confidential and notify us promptly about unauthorised access.
19. DATA RETENTION
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Accounting, taxation, payment reconciliation, contractual, legal, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution and legitimate business records may need longer retention. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise or dispose of it in accordance with applicable law.
20. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Subject to applicable law, you may request information about processing, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where legally available, withdrawal of consent, information about relevant processing and other rights available under data-protection law. Send requests to support@talesofmahalakshmi.com or call 6366965829. We may request reasonable information to verify your identity.
21. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully completed before withdrawal. Information may continue to be processed for legal compliance, accounting, tax, payment reconciliation, fraud prevention, contractual obligations, dispute resolution or other legally permitted purposes.
22. CHILDREN’S DATA
The Website is not intended to knowingly collect children’s personal information where applicable law requires parental or guardian consent without obtaining it. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided information inappropriately should contact us. We will investigate and respond in accordance with applicable law.
23. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Website may link to social, video, payment and other third-party services. When you leave the Website or interact directly with a third party, that provider’s privacy policy and terms apply. Tales of Mahalakshmi does not control independent third-party privacy practices.
24. DATA INCIDENTS
If a personal-data incident occurs, we will take reasonable steps to identify and contain it, assess the impact, take remedial measures and provide notifications where required by applicable law.
25. DATA TRANSFERS
Some service providers may use infrastructure in other states or countries. Where information is transferred across jurisdictions, we take reasonable steps to comply with applicable legal requirements.
26. POLICY CHANGES
We may update this Policy because of Website changes, film operations, new services, payment providers, data practices, legal changes or improvements to our privacy practices. The latest version is published on the Website. The Last Updated date indicates the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.
27. GRIEVANCE CONTACT
