As a data principal under India's DPDP Act, you have the right to:

7. Children's Privacy

Kama Tejas products are formulated for adult men (18 years and above). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us immediately.

8. Cookies

We use session cookies provided by Supabase Auth to maintain your logged-in state. These are strictly functional — they contain only an encrypted session token and are not used for advertising, cross-site tracking, or profiling. No third-party advertising or analytics cookies are placed on your device.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so will prevent you from logging in to your account or completing checkout.

9. International Data Transfers

Kama Tejas is an India-only service. Your data is stored in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) and processed by Indian or India-compliant vendors. If any data is transferred outside India (for example, to Resend's email delivery infrastructure), we ensure the transfer is governed by appropriate contractual safeguards consistent with India's data protection framework.
