Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

Smear Pathology ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website surajyadavx.github.io/SMEAR. We are committed to protecting the personal information of our patients and website users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

2 What Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it to us, specifically through the enquiry/lead card on this website. This includes:

• Name — voluntarily submitted via the "Need Help Booking?" enquiry card.
• Mobile phone number — voluntarily submitted via the enquiry card.

We do not collect payment card information, bank details, Aadhaar numbers, or any sensitive personal data through this website.

Automatically collected data: This website does not currently use analytics tracking scripts. If analytics are added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly. We use browser localStorage to store your language preference and your cart list locally on your own device — this data does not leave your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.

3 How We Use Your Information

The name and phone number you provide through the enquiry card are used exclusively to:

• Contact you via WhatsApp or phone to assist with your booking enquiry at our laboratory.
• Answer your questions about tests, pricing, and appointments.

We do not use your information for automated profiling, marketing campaigns to third parties, or any purpose beyond responding to your enquiry.

4 We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes.

5 Third-Party Links and Services

This website contains links to and integrations with third-party services, including:

• WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc.) — when you click a "WhatsApp" button, your browser opens the WhatsApp app or web application. Information you share in WhatsApp is governed by WhatsApp's own privacy policy.
• Google Maps — used to display our location. Google's privacy policy governs data collected during map interaction.
• Instagram — linked from our footer. Instagram's privacy policy governs interactions on their platform.
• Google Fonts — used to load fonts. Google may collect limited technical data per its privacy policy.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services.

6 Cookies and Local Storage

This website uses your browser's localStorage (not cookies) to store:

• Your preferred language (English or Marathi) — so we remember your choice on your next visit.
• Your cart list (selected tests and packages) — stored locally on your device only, never sent to our servers.

This data is stored only on your device and is not accessible by us. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

7 Data Retention

We retain your name and phone number (provided via the enquiry card) only as long as needed to respond to your booking enquiry. We do not maintain a permanent database of website enquiries.

8 Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to or deletion of any personal information you have provided to us.
