Privacy Policy
Here's the honest ledger: what we collect, exactly when, and the things we will never ask you for.
Last updated: 17 July 2026
In plain language
- To reserve, we only need your phone number. Nothing about your money.
- We ask for your name-to-engrave and shipping address at the details step, after payment.
- We NEVER ask for your PIN, OTP or bank login. Anyone who does is an imposter.
- Card-layout photos are requested only in your WhatsApp thread at crafting time, with a thumb-redaction instruction, and purged after crafting [OWNER-VERIFY: purge window].
What we collect, and when
At reserve (checkout): your phone number only. This lets us create your order and send your Razorpay receipt and order link on WhatsApp.
At the details step (after payment): the name you want engraved, your shipping address and pincode, and optionally your email (for your Razorpay receipt).
At crafting time (in your WhatsApp thread):a photo of your card’s layout so we match the engraving by hand. It is always requested with the instruction to cover everything except the chip and the printed details we need. A human asks for this, in the channel where you can see who’s asking.
What we never ask for
We neverask for your PIN, OTP, full card number entry on a call, or your bank login. No CarbonCraft form or agent will ever request these. In India, the printed details on a card can’t move your money on their own. Every online payment needs your OTP. Anyone asking for these is impersonating us. Report them to us.
Card images & purge
Card-layout photos are used only to position your engraving. They’re stored encrypted and purged after crafting [OWNER-VERIFY: exact retention window and method]. We ask you to redact everything except what we need before you send.
Custom design uploads
If you order a custom design, you upload up to 5 reference files (a logo, artwork, a photo or a rough sketch). We use them only to prepare your preview and craft your card. They are deleted under the same purge policy once your order is done, or right away if you cancel before engraving.
Payments
Payments are processed by Razorpay. Your card/UPI credentials are handled by Razorpay under their security standards. CarbonCraft does not see or store your full payment credentials. We collect the balance only at carboncraft.in/track or via the Razorpay link inside your order thread, never a personal UPI.
Analytics & advertising
We use privacy-respecting analytics and advertising measurement (e.g. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel/Conversions API, Microsoft Clarity) to understand which pages help people and to measure ad performance. These may set cookies or process device identifiers per their own policies [OWNER-VERIFY: list active tools + consent approach].
Your data, your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, correct it, or request deletion (subject to legal record-keeping obligations). Message us on WhatsApp at +91 89990 10753 or email [email protected] and we’ll action it.
