We send news, offers and new product updates by email only if you tick the separate optional box at registration or checkout (it is unticked by default) or switch it on in My Account. We keep a record of this consent (date and time, IP address, policy version). Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Information Technology Act, 2000 you may withdraw this consent at any time, as easily as you gave it: use the one-click unsubscribe link in every promotional email, turn it off in My Account, or email sales@sayartstudio.in. After withdrawal we stop promotional emails promptly; this does not affect earlier processing or order and account emails. We do not share your email address with third parties for their marketing.

Other data is deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

You may request: access to a summary of your personal data and how it is processed; correction and updating; erasure; grievance redressal; and nominating another person to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity.

Write to sales@sayartstudio.in; we acknowledge within 48 hours and respond within one month.
