Privacy Policy

Techrobane Studio (operating as WeddingInvites.lk), based in Sri Lanka, is the data controller responsible for personal data processed through this website and our order channels. You can reach us at techrobane@gmail.com or on WhatsApp at +94 71 626 0400 for anything in this policy.

When you place an order (via WhatsApp or email):

• Your full name, email address, and Sri Lankan mobile number
• Wedding details: couple names, date, venue, and event timeline
• Photos, style preferences, and customisation notes you send us
• Payment slips or transfer confirmations you share for verification

When you browse this website:

• Usage data collected by Google Analytics — pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type (see Cookies & Analytics)
• Your IP address, held briefly in server memory to prevent abuse of our chat service (rate limiting); it is not written to any database

When you use our chat assistant: the messages you type (see AI Chat Assistant).

This website has no user accounts and no customer database — we do not store orders, payment slips, or customer files on this site.

The PDPA requires us to have a lawful basis for each use of your data. Ours are:

• Performing our contract with you — creating and delivering your invitation, sending previews and the final link, and verifying payment.
• Our legitimate interests — responding to enquiries, preventing abuse of our website, and understanding site traffic to improve the service.
• Your consent — anything beyond the above, such as featuring your invitation in our portfolio with identifying details, or sending marketing messages. You can withdraw consent at any time.

We never sell your personal data, and we never use it for marketing without your consent.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. It sets cookies (such as _ga) that assign your browser a random identifier and record pages visited, session duration, and approximate location. We do not use advertising, account, or order-tracking cookies.

You can opt out by blocking cookies in your browser settings or installing Google's Analytics opt-out add-on. The website works fully without cookies.

Our website chat assistant answers questions about our services in English, Sinhala, and Tamil. When you use it:

• The messages you type are sent to Anthropic (a US company) to generate responses. Don't share sensitive information in the chat — for orders and payment details, use WhatsApp.
• We do not store chat conversations in any database; your conversation exists only in your browser during the session.
• Anthropic processes the messages as our service provider and does not use them to train its models.

We share personal data only with the service providers needed to run our business. Some are located outside Sri Lanka, so using our services involves cross-border transfers as contemplated by section 26 of the PDPA. Each provider is bound by its own contractual and privacy commitments:

• WhatsApp (Meta Platforms) — order conversations, governed by WhatsApp's own terms and encryption.
• Google — website analytics, as described above.
• Anthropic — chat assistant responses, as described above.
• Our hosting provider — serves the website and processes standard server logs.

We may also disclose data where required by Sri Lankan law or a lawful order of a court or regulator.

• Order conversations and files remain in our WhatsApp and email history for as long as needed for delivery, support, and our normal business records, after which they are deleted.
• Payment records are kept as required for tax and accounting purposes under Sri Lankan law.
• Your live invitation page (and the wedding details on it) is removed when the link expires — 12 months after delivery unless extended.
• Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings.

You may request earlier deletion at any time — see your rights below.

All website traffic is encrypted with HTTPS, and the site enforces a strict content-security policy. Because we keep no customer database, the personal data we hold lives only in our WhatsApp and email accounts, which are protected with two-factor authentication. WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted in transit.

The Personal Data Protection Act, No. 9 of 2022 gives you the right to:

• Access — ask for confirmation of what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy.
• Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
• Erasure — ask us to delete your data where we no longer need it.
• Withdraw consent — at any time, for any processing based on consent (such as portfolio use).
• Object — to processing carried out for our legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, email techrobane@gmail.com with the subject line “Data Request”. We will respond within the period prescribed by the PDPA (and in any case within 21 working days), and we may ask you to verify your identity first.

Our services are intended for adults planning a wedding. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us their data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as our services or the law change. Material changes will be indicated by an updated effective date at the top of this page, and — where the change significantly affects how we use your data — communicated to active customers directly.

For privacy questions, data requests, or complaints, email techrobane@gmail.com or message us on WhatsApp at +94 71 626 0400.
