Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28th Aug, 2025
1. Introduction
Hi, I'm Abhisek. I run bagaria.me to share my work as a designer and wildlife photographer. I respect your privacy and want you to know clearly what information is (and isn't) collected when you visit this site. This policy explains in plain words how cookies and services on this website may handle data. I've kept it simple and relevant, so you know exactly what happens here.
2. What Data Is Collected
I do not collect personal information just for visiting or browsing this site. The only datac that may be collected comes through:
- Cookies (small files your browser stores) – listed in Section 3.
- Third-party tools I use for booking calls (Calendly) or payments (Stripe). If you choose to use these, they may collect details like your name, email, or payment info directly.
- I do not sell or trade personal data.

- To allow booking calls securely through Calendly
- To ensure safe payments if you use Stripe.

- You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Customize" in the banner.
- The site works even if you reject non-essential cookies.
6. Global Compliance Basics
- GDPR (EU/EEA): Non-essential cookies are not set without your consent. You may request access, correction, or deletion of any personal data you provide (e.g., via Calendly or Stripe).
- Indian Law (DPDP Act 2023): Only minimal data is collected, and only for the purpose you choose (like booking or payments).
- Other Regions (e.g., CCPA in California): I do not sell personal data. If you want to know or delete data you shared (via Calendly or Stripe), reach out anytime.
7. Data Retention
- I do not store personal data on this website.
- Third-party services (Calendly, Stripe) may retain data according to their own legal obligations.
8. Security
This site itself does not handle sensitive data. Where third-party services are used, they rely on secure industry-standard systems (e.g., Stripe for payments).
9. Children's Privacy
This site is not aimed at children under 18. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. Updates to This Policy
If I add new services or cookies, this page will be updated with the details and the "Last updated" date will change.
