ShaadiCam ("we", "us") is operated by Company name in India – to be added once incorporated. This policy explains how we handle personal data when couples, guests and photographers use the ShaadiCam website and app at shaadicam.in. We follow India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the rules made under it.
The short version
- We collect only what the wedding camera needs: names, photos and videos, and contact details for the couple.
- Your photos are private to your wedding. We never sell data, never use photos for advertising, and never train AI models on them.
- Your photos and account details are stored on servers in India.
- An album is kept for one year after the last event, then deleted.
- You can ask us to remove a photo, correct your data or delete it at any time.
What we collect
| Who | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Guests | The name you type; the photos and videos you take; the event and time they were taken; a random device identifier; your language; your WhatsApp number, only if you choose to receive your photos on WhatsApp | To run the camera and the 24-shot roll, show your photos in the wedding album, credit you as the photographer, and send the morning reveal if you asked for it |
| Couples and planners | Name, email address, phone number, wedding details (names, dates, venue, events), and your choices about the album | To create and manage the wedding, sign you in, send receipts and important updates, and provide support |
| Payments | Order details and the payment reference. Card, UPI and bank details are handled by our payment partner, Razorpay – we never see or store them | To take payment, issue receipts, process refunds and keep records the law requires |
| Photobooks and printed cards | Delivery name, address and phone number | To print and deliver your order |
| Everyone | Basic technical data: browser type, approximate location from the IP address, and error logs | To keep the service secure, prevent abuse and fix problems |
Consent
Guests are asked for consent when they join a wedding's camera. Couples consent when they create a wedding. You can withdraw consent at any time by writing to hello@shaadicam.in; we will then stop using your data and delete it, unless the law requires us to keep part of it (for example, payment records).
Children
ShaadiCam accounts are for adults. Guests under 18 should join only with a parent's or guardian's permission. Weddings include family members of all ages, so photos may show children; a parent or guardian can ask us to remove any photo of their child, and we will do so promptly.
Who can see your photos
- Before the reveal: only the couple (and their planner or photographer, if the couple adds them) can preview photos, and they can hide any photo.
- After the reveal: people who have the wedding's private link – usually the guests and family.
- Albums are never public or listed in search engines.
Where your data is kept
All your photos, videos and account details are stored on servers in India, and that's where they stay. We don't store copies anywhere else.
A few trusted service providers help us run ShaadiCam – for example to keep the site fast and secure, to send you emails and WhatsApp messages you've asked for, to take payments and to print photobooks. To do that, small pieces of information (such as your email address when we send you a sign-in link) may briefly pass through their systems, which can be outside India. They act only on our instructions, keep it only as long as they need to provide that service, and never use it for their own purposes.
We share data with authorities only when Indian law requires it.
How long we keep it
- Albums: one year after the wedding's last event, then deleted within 30 days. The couple can delete the album sooner.
- Guest names and device identifiers: deleted with the album.
- Couple accounts: while the account is open, then deleted on request.
- Payment and invoice records: as long as Indian tax law requires.
Your rights
Under the DPDP Act you can ask us to:
- tell you what personal data we hold about you and how we use it;
- correct, complete or update it;
- erase it, including removing any photo of you;
- handle a complaint (grievance); and
- let someone you nominate exercise these rights if you die or become unable to.
Write to hello@shaadicam.in. We may need to confirm who you are before acting.
Cookies
We use only the cookies and local storage needed to run the service: keeping you signed in, remembering which wedding you joined, and saving photos on your phone until they upload. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Photos are stored privately and shown only through short-lived links. Access to systems is limited to what is needed to run ShaadiCam. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the Data Protection Board of India as the law requires.
