4. Design Reference Images
Images you upload as design references for a custom order are stored securely and used exclusively by our craftsmen and staff to produce your piece. Design images are never publicly accessible — they require authentication and are served only to authorised staff and the customer who submitted them. We log all access to design images for security purposes.
5. Cookies & Tracking
We use only essential cookies required for the website to function (session management, theme preference). We do not use advertising cookies, third-party analytics cookies, or cross-site trackers. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; essential site functions will remain available.
6. Data Retention
Custom order records are retained for 7 years to comply with Pakistani commercial record-keeping requirements. Appointment records are retained for 1 year. Kiosk camera data is processed in real-time only — no footage is recorded or stored.
You may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us (see below). We will process deletion requests within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements.
7. Security
We protect your data using industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, hashed password storage, JWT-based authentication with short expiry, and rate limiting on all login endpoints. Access to administrative systems is restricted to authorised staff only.
8. Your Rights
Under applicable Pakistani law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements).
