Privacy
What we keep, and why.
Short version: we keep what you type into a form so we can reply to you. We do not sell it, share it, or send it anywhere else.
What we collect
- Forms. Your name, email, and anything else you fill in phone, city, links, and whatever you write in the message box.
- Fun corner. The name, mood and words you type, plus the piece we write back. We keep these to stop the page being abused and to know how much it is being used.
- A one-way hash of your IP address. Not your IP itself, a scrambled version of it that we cannot reverse. It exists so one person cannot flood our inbox.
What we do with it
We read it and we reply to it. Applications are reviewed by the Poetriarchy core team. Booking and partnership enquiries are answered by whoever handles that. Nothing is sold, and nothing is passed to a third party for marketing.
Who can see it
A small number of Poetriarchy team members, through a password-protected admin area on this site. That is it.
How long we keep it
Applications and enquiries stay until they are no longer useful to us. Fun corner entries are kept for operational reasons and are not linked to anything else about you.
Getting it deleted
Write to poetriarchy@gmail.com and ask. We will delete what we hold about you and confirm when it is done.
Payments
Membership payments are handled by Razorpay, a licensed Indian payment gateway. Your card, UPI or bank details go straight to them, they never touch our server and we cannot see them.
What we do keep is the boring half: the payment reference Razorpay gives us, the amount, whether it succeeded, and the dates your membership runs. We need that to know you are a member, to answer a question about a charge, and to issue a refund. Razorpay handles your payment data under their own privacy policy.
Accounts and what members post
If you make an account we keep your name, email and password (scrambled, never readable , not even by us). Anything you post in Masakali, the community pop-up, is visible to other members: art instants disappear from the wall after 24 hours, though a removed post is kept in our records so the team can act on reports.
Cookies
Cookies are used only to keep you signed in, one for members, a separate one for admins. There is no advertising or tracking cookie, and we do not sell or share anything with advertisers.
Who to write to
Poetriarchy is operated by House of Creatif. For anything about your data, a payment or a deletion request, email poetriarchy@gmail.com, or use the contact form. Our full business details are on the Terms page.
