Privacy Policy

Introduction

"Personal Data" means any data about an individual who is identifiable (directly or indirectly), as defined under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").

Iyal Studios collects minimal Personal Data. For most visitors, no Personal Data is collected beyond what is necessary for site functionality (e.g., essential cookies). We collect Personal Data only when you voluntarily provide it, such as through contact forms, career/recruitment submissions, or other explicit requests.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Data

We process Personal Data only for specified, legitimate purposes and with your consent (where required under DPDP Act) or as permitted by law. We may use or disclose it if:

• You have given explicit consent;
• It is necessary to fulfill a contract or legal obligation;
• It is required for compliance with law enforcement, national security, or public interest; or
• Otherwise permitted under the DPDP Act or other Indian laws.

Recruitment / Career Information

If you submit details (e.g., resume, experience, contact info) via our careers section, we collect this to evaluate your suitability for employment or freelance opportunities at Iyal Studios. This data is shared internally with relevant team members, HR, and management for recruitment purposes only.

We may share such information with affiliated entities if we believe you may be suitable for roles there (we will usually seek your consent first). We do not sell or trade Personal Data.

Retention and Security

We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected or as required by law. We implement reasonable security measures to protect data, but no internet transmission or storage is 100% secure — you transmit at your own risk.

Your Rights

Under the DPDP Act, you have rights including access, correction, erasure (subject to exceptions), and grievance redressal. To exercise these or for questions, contact:
