2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to respond to your project enquiry and provide information about our services.
We use it to understand your requirements and prepare a relevant proposal or project brief, communicate with you regarding ongoing or completed projects, analyse website usage, improve our content and user experience through Google Analytics 4, maintain records of client communications and project histories, and send relevant service updates if you have consented to receive them.
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to our design services and client communications.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We collect and process your personal information on the basis of consent when you voluntarily submit our contact form and consent to us processing your information to respond to your enquiry.
We rely on legitimate interest to understand how our Website is used through analytics and to improve our services.
If you engage us for a project, processing your information may be necessary to fulfil our obligations under that engagement.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
We may share information only in limited circumstances, including with service providers such as Google Analytics, where Google may process usage data on our behalf subject to its own privacy policy.
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government authority under the laws of India.
In the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We never share client project details, business information, or sensitive data disclosed during the course of a project with any third party without your explicit written consent.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law.
Contact form enquiries are retained for 2 years from the date of submission, or for the duration of any project engagement, whichever is longer.
Project communications are retained for 5 years from the completion of a project for record-keeping purposes.
Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics default retention settings, generally 14 months, configurable in our GA4 property settings.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at info@24inceptions.com. We will action deletion requests within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
These measures include HTTPS encryption across all pages of our Website, reCAPTCHA and honeypot protection on our contact form to prevent automated spam submissions, restricted access to contact form submissions and client communications, and not storing payment information on our Website.
While we take security seriously, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to our Website.

Google reCAPTCHA may be used for bot and spam detection on contact forms during a session.
Session cookies may be used for basic website functionality and do not store personal data beyond the session.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use our Website or contact form.
