Privacy Policy

YellowAntNest Studio ("YAN Studio", "we", "our", or "us") is an architectural design and spatial planning practice based in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. We specialize in bespoke residential architecture, luxury villas, duplex homes, interior spatial design, and structural consultation.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data and intellectual property you entrust to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, utilize, and protect your personal and architectural project information when you visit our website (yellowantnest.com/studio), consult with our architects, commission residential drawings, or interact with our digital and on-site services.

Our Core Principle: We will never sell, lease, or monetize your personal identity, contact details, or proprietary property drawings to third-party data brokers or advertisers.

To prepare accurate architectural plans, structural assessments, 3D renderings, and design approvals, we collect relevant information across the following categories:

• •Personal & Contact Information: Full Name and primary contact phone number, email address for project correspondence, billing address and GST number (where applicable), and authorized representative or co-owner details.
• •Property & Site Data: Plot address, survey numbers, municipal ward, topographic surveys, contour data, plot dimensions, soil investigation reports, boundary demarcation files, and existing site photographs, orientation, and access roads.
• •Project Design Briefs: Room requirements, spatial preferences, family size, inspirational mood boards, material choices, references, anticipated budget range, target timeline for ground-breaking, and Vastu or directional preferences requested by the client.
• •Digital & Device Analytics: Browser type, device operating system, IP address, studio pages viewed, reading session durations, referral links, and bookmark lists stored in your local session.

Your information is used strictly to deliver high-precision architectural and interior design services:

• •Design & Drafting: Generating concept sketches, 2D floor plans, 3D photorealistic renderings, structural schematics, and Good-for-Construction (GFC) drawings.
• •Project Coordination: Collaborating with structural engineers, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) consultants, and on-site contractors.
• •Statutory Sanction Drawings: Preparing municipal drawing sets compliant with local municipal authority bye-laws (such as BBMP, BDA, BMRDA, etc.).
• •Milestone & Financial Updates: Issuing formal quotation schedules, invoice acknowledgments, and milestone sign-off certificates.
• •Studio Client Experience: Enabling saved architectural articles, interactive narration audio, design inquiry follow-ups, and portfolio consultation requests.

Architectural floor plans, interior elevations, structural schedules, and bespoke construction details created for your project represent confidential intellectual property.

We maintain strict confidentiality over all client blueprints, boundary survey maps, and site records, and we do not publish sensitive interior layout schematics on public marketing channels without your explicit written approval.

We do not sell personal data. We only disclose information to trusted technical collaborators who are contractually bound by confidentiality:

• •Consulting Engineers: Structural, soil, geotechnical, and MEP consultants collaborating on your home's stability and building systems.
• •Cloud & Storage Infrastructure: Encrypted cloud storage servers and secure CAD/BIM revision repositories used to archive design revisions.
• •Legal Compliance: When required by court order, law enforcement, or applicable laws under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023.

Due to the long-term nature of residential construction, we maintain project CAD files, structural calculations, and permit drawings in secure digital archives for a minimum of 7 years following project completion. This ensures you can request historical drawings if undertaking future renovations or structural modifications.

Our security controls include SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption in transit, multi-factor authentication on design repository servers, role-based access for architectural personnel, and periodic digital backups.

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and applicable regulations, you have the right to:

• •Access & Review: Request a summary of your personal information and project files stored with YAN Studio.
• •Correction & Updates: Request prompt corrections if your contact details or property records are inaccurate.
• •Withdrawal of Consent: Opt out of design newsletter communications or portfolio publication at any point.
• •Data Erasure: Request erasure of non-statutory records subject to our regulatory compliance obligations.

Our studio website utilizes functional session cookies and minimal analytics to measure visitor interest in architectural articles, portfolio projects, and service offerings. You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings without affecting your ability to view public architectural articles and design galleries.
