Our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run analytics that profile visitors.
3. WhatsApp messages
We use the WhatsApp Business Platform, provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. and WhatsApp LLC, to talk with clients, candidates, employees and people who contact us.
- When we message you. We message you on WhatsApp only after you message us first, or after you give us your number and agree to hear from us on WhatsApp (for example on a form, on a call, or in writing). We send replies to your questions, updates on work, orders, quotes or appointments you asked about, and updates on your job application.
- Marketing. We send offers or news on WhatsApp only if you have separately agreed to receive them.
- What we receive. Your WhatsApp name and number, the messages, photos and files you send, and delivery and read status.
- How it is used. Only to reply to you and to provide the service or update you asked for. We never sell your number or messages, and we do not use them for unrelated purposes.
- Who processes it. Meta processes WhatsApp messages on our behalf under the WhatsApp Business terms and Meta's privacy policy. Messages may be handled on Meta's servers outside India.
- Stopping messages. Reply STOP at any time, or tell us in the chat, and we will stop messaging you except to answer anything you send later. You can also block our number in WhatsApp.
- How long we keep chats. Up to 24 months after the last message, unless a law or an ongoing contract needs us to keep it longer.
4. How we use your data
- To answer your questions and send quotes.
- To provide our services to clients and keep records of that work.
- To assess job applications and contact candidates.
- To meet legal, tax and accounting duties.
- To keep our systems and people safe and prevent misuse.
We use your data with your consent, or where the law allows it without consent, such as for employment, to meet a legal duty, or for a purpose you have willingly given the data for.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with:
- Service providers who help us run the business, under contract: Meta (WhatsApp), Google (email and documents), Calendly (call booking), GitHub (website hosting) and Railway (our HR and calling software).
- Our clients, when you are part of the work we do for them.
- Authorities, when the law requires it.
Some of these providers store data outside India, including in the USA. We use providers who protect data with appropriate safeguards.
6. How long we keep it
- Enquiries and WhatsApp chats: up to 24 months after our last contact.
- Job applications from people who do not join: up to 12 months after our last contact.
- Client, employee and accounting records: as long as the contract lasts and then as long as tax and labour laws require, usually 8 years.
7. How we protect it
Access is limited to the people who need it, accounts are protected by sign-in, and sensitive details such as PAN and bank account numbers are stored encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects you, we will tell you and the Data Protection Board of India as the law requires.
8. Your rights
You can ask to see the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or withdraw your consent at any time. You can also name someone to act for you. Send one email to info@lumisha.in with the subject "My data". We reply within 30 days. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did before.
If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
9. Children
Our services are for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
10. Changes to this policy
