WHO WE ARE

Pudavai Kadai is a Chennai-based brand dedicated to preserving and celebrating the timeless beauty of Indian sarees. When you use our Site or communicate with us electronically — such as by sending emails, messages, or inquiries — you are communicating with us in a digital format. By doing so, you consent to receive replies, updates, or any related communications from us electronically in the same format, and you may retain copies of these communications for your records.


You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications provided to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

COMMENTS

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection and maintain the security of our platform.

An anonymized string (also known as a hash) may be created from your email address and shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it.
You can view the Gravatar Privacy Policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if linked through Gravatar, becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

MEDIA

If you upload images to the website, please ensure that you do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the image files. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from publicly available images displayed on the site.

To protect your privacy, we recommend uploading only images that do not contain sensitive metadata or geolocation information.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITE

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles, or external links). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the external website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This may include tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Please note that Pudavai Kadai has no control over these external sites and their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external websites you interact with through our platform.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
This helps us verify the authenticity of the request and protect your account from unauthorized access.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, your data may be shared with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, fulfilling orders, and delivering products — strictly for the purpose of completing these services.


All such partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and are required to handle your data securely and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

If you leave a comment on our site, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time — except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also view and edit this information as needed to maintain your account and provide support.

We retain this data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA

If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us.

You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise these rights or to make a data-related inquiry, you can contact us at:
📧 support@pudavaikadai.com

We will review and respond to all valid requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

WHERE YOUR DATA IS SENT

Visitor comments and form submissions on this website may be processed through an automated spam detection service to ensure security and maintain the quality of interactions on our platform.

This helps us prevent unwanted or harmful content and protect the integrity of our community.
