2. Information we collect

Information you give us

When you fill in a contact or “Request a Call Back” form, call us, email us or message us on WhatsApp, we collect the details you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, the service you are interested in, project type, approximate budget, area or location, and any message you write.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we and our service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, the website or advertisement that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. If you arrive through a Google advertisement, we may record the advertising click identifier (for example, a “GCLID”) with your enquiry so we can measure which advertisements produce enquiries.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including tools provided by Google (such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking) and spam protection (Google reCAPTCHA). These help the website work, help us understand how visitors use it, and help us measure our advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work properly if you do.

3. How we use your information

To respond to your enquiry and discuss, quote for and deliver your project.
To contact you by phone, email or WhatsApp about your enquiry or ongoing project.
To keep records of enquiries and client projects.
To measure and improve our website and advertising, for example by recording which advertisement led to an enquiry.
To protect our website from spam and misuse.
To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Our social media and marketing tools

We use internal software to prepare and publish posts about our own projects to our own business accounts on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, and to view performance statistics for those accounts. When we connect these platforms, we authorise access only to Green Hat Studio’s own accounts, through each platform’s official API.

Pinterest: we use the Pinterest API to create Pins on our own boards and to read basic information about our own account and boards. We do not collect, store or use personal data about other Pinterest users, and we do not use Pinterest data for advertising targeting or resale.
Meta (Instagram and Facebook): we use the Meta Graph API to publish posts to our own Instagram business account and Facebook Page and to read their aggregate insights.
LinkedIn: we use the LinkedIn API to publish posts to our own company presence.
WhatsApp: we use the WhatsApp Business Platform to communicate with our own team and with people who contact us.

Access tokens for these services are stored securely on our servers and are used only to operate our own accounts. When you interact with our posts on these platforms, that platform’s own privacy policy applies to the information it collects.

5. Sharing your information

We share personal information only where needed:

With service providers that host or operate our website, servers, email, forms and analytics on our behalf (for example, our web host, Google and our cloud hosting provider), under appropriate confidentiality terms.
With consultants, contractors or vendors working on your project, only to the extent needed to deliver it and with your knowledge.
Where required by law, or to protect our rights, safety or property.

Some of these providers may process data outside India. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure your information remains protected.

6. How long we keep information

We keep enquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and follow up on a potential project, and project and billing records for as long as required for legal, tax and accounting purposes. When we no longer need information, we delete it or make it anonymous.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, access controls and restricted access to credentials. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights and choices

Subject to applicable law, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask us to:

tell you what personal information we hold about you;
correct or update inaccurate information;
delete your information where we no longer need to keep it; or
stop contacting you, or withdraw consent you have given.

To make a request or raise a concern, email info@greenhatstudio.in with the subject “Privacy request”. We will respond within a reasonable time.

9. Children

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

10. Links to other websites

Our website links to other sites, including our social media profiles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed.
