Cookie Policy
At Servicex Academy, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This policy explains our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies in straightforward terms that actually make sense.
We've written this in plain English because legal jargon shouldn't stand between you and understanding how your data gets used. You deserve to know exactly what's happening when you browse our site.
What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as tiny digital notes that help websites remember things about your visit – like your preferences or whether you've been here before.
Here's the honest truth about why we use them at Servicex Academy:
- To remember your preferences so you don't have to set them every single time you visit
- To understand which parts of our site are most helpful so we can improve the experience
- To ensure our contact forms work properly and your inquiries reach us
- To analyze how people navigate our site so we can make it more user-friendly
- To provide relevant content based on what you've shown interest in during your visit
We don't use cookies to invade your privacy or sell your information to third parties. Everything we collect helps us serve you better and improve our portrait photography services.
Types of Cookies We Use
Different cookies serve different purposes. Here's a breakdown of what you'll encounter on puremindportal.sbs:
Essential Cookies
These are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure login areas, and form submissions. Without these, you literally couldn't use our site.
Performance Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous information about page visits, time spent on pages, and any error messages you encounter.
Functionality Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences – like your preferred contact method or portfolio viewing settings – to provide a more personalized experience during your visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to analyze website traffic patterns and user behavior. This data helps us improve our site structure and content to better serve potential clients interested in our photography services.
Third-Party Cookies and Services
Sometimes we work with trusted third-party services that may also place cookies on your device. Here's what you might encounter:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our website. This service provides valuable insights about visitor behavior, popular pages, and site performance. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your visit anonymously.
Contact Form Services
Our contact forms may use third-party services to ensure reliable delivery of your inquiries and protect against spam. These services may set cookies to maintain form functionality and security.
Social Media Integration
If we embed social media content or sharing buttons, the respective social media platforms may set their own cookies. We don't control these cookies – they're governed by the privacy policies of those platforms.
Important: We carefully select third-party services and only work with reputable companies that maintain high privacy standards. However, we recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies for complete information.

Data Retention and Storage
We don't keep cookie data forever. Here's our approach to data retention:
Session Cookies
These are temporary and get deleted when you close your browser. They only exist during your current visit to help with navigation and form functionality.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 2 years, depending on their purpose) or until you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies for preferences and analytics.
Data Processing
Any information collected through cookies gets processed according to Indian data protection regulations. We store data securely and never share personal information with unauthorized third parties.
If you'd like us to delete specific data we've collected about your visits, just reach out to us directly. We're happy to help you understand what information we have and remove it if requested.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do privacy practices. We review this cookie policy regularly and update it when necessary. When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For major changes that affect how we collect or use your information, we may also post a notice on our main website or send information to clients who have provided contact details.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you're concerned about privacy or if you notice changes in how our website behaves.
