Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over how we use cookies on your device. Here's how you can adjust your preferences:
Data Retention and Your Rights
We keep your information only as long as needed to provide our decoration services and comply with legal requirements. Here's our typical retention schedule:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Website functionality |
| Analytics Data | 26 months | Service improvement |

You can request to see what data we have about you, ask us to correct any mistakes, or request deletion of your information at any time. For our decoration business, this might include photos from your events, contact details, or consultation notes.
Third-Party Services and Sharing
We work with several trusted partners to provide the best possible service for your celebrations. These include:
Google Analytics helps us understand which decoration styles are most popular and how to improve our website experience. We also use social media platforms to showcase our work, and payment processors to handle deposits and final payments securely.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. When we share data, it's only with service providers who help us deliver our decoration services, and they're required to protect your information just as carefully as we do.
International Data Transfers
Since we're based in Karachi, Pakistan, your data is primarily stored and processed here. However, some of our technology partners may process data internationally. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information according to international privacy standards.
This is particularly relevant when we use cloud storage for your event photos or international payment processors for clients who prefer to pay via credit card or international banking services.
Children's Privacy
Our decoration services are designed for adults planning weddings and celebrations. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
As our decoration business grows and technology changes, we may update this cookie policy. We'll notify you of any significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a new "last updated" date.
For major changes that affect how we handle your data, we'll also send you an email notification if you've provided us with your email address for our services.
