This Privacy Policy explains how Shastri Financial Services (an AMFI-registered Mutual Fund Distributor, ARN-346031, referred to as "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you use this website. We act as a Data Fiduciary under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA).
Who we are
Shastri Financial Services, run by Tilak Chandra Shastri, AMFI-registered Mutual Fund Distributor (ARN-346031), serving clients across India. You can reach us at shastritilak880@gmail.com or +91 94817 40319.
Information we collect
Information you give us: When you fill in the enquiry form, you voluntarily provide your name, phone number, email address, the goal you select, any message you write, and your explicit consent. Our enquiry form is processed through Formspree, a third-party form service, which forwards your message to us.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, our hosting and content-delivery provider may record standard technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device and the pages you visit, in routine server logs. This helps keep the site secure and working.
How we use your information
We use the details you submit solely to respond to your enquiry and to provide the information or assistance you ask for. We do not use your data for unrelated purposes, such as insurance, PMS or loan cross-selling, without obtaining your separate consent first.
Cookies and advertising
This website may use cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and, where enabled, for advertising.
We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses data and cookies in advertising at Google's advertising policies. You can also manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.
This site also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may record requests in line with Google's own privacy policy.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate this website and communicate with you (for example, our form provider and hosting/CDN provider), and only as needed for those services, or where required by law.
How long we keep your data
We keep enquiry details only as long as needed to respond to you and maintain our records. Where you become a client, transaction and KYC-related records are retained as required under SEBI and PMLA regulations (typically five years), after which non-essential data is removed. If you ask us to delete data we are legally required to retain, we restrict its use rather than delete it, and remove it once the retention period ends.
Your rights under the DPDPA
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, and to request erasure of non-essential data. You may also withdraw a consent you previously gave. To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection point of contact below.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data and limit access to it.
Children
This website and our services are intended for adults (18 years and over) and are not directed at children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
