This website, aryasamajcourtmarriagedelhi.com, operating under the name Arya Samaj Court Marriage Delhi, is owned and operated by Legal Space Services (LSS), a legal services and documentation company established on 6 June 2021 at New Delhi, India.
For the purposes of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, Legal Space Services is the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described in this policy. That means it decides why and how your personal data is processed, and it is answerable for it.
This policy covers this website and every service you book through it — whether you contact us through a form here, by phone, on WhatsApp, by email, or in person at the office. It does not cover any other website you reach through a link from here. It must be read together with our Terms & Conditions, Disclaimer, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Cookie Policy and Grievance Redressal page.
We collect only what a particular piece of work actually needs. Nothing on this website asks you for data the work does not require, and you are never obliged to give us a document before we have told you why it is needed.
| Category | What it includes | When we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, mobile number, WhatsApp number, email address, city. | When you enquire or book. |
| Matter details | Which route you need (Arya Samaj ceremony, HMA registration, SMA registration, Tatkal), the date you want, your circumstances, and notes of what was discussed on a call. | When you enquire or when we speak to you. |
| Identity and address documents | Copies of what the particular process requires — typically Aadhaar, PAN, passport, voter ID, driving licence, birth certificate or school certificate for age, address proof, passport photographs, and where relevant a divorce decree or death certificate of a former spouse. | Only after you have booked a service that requires them. |
| Witness details | Name, address and identity document particulars of the witnesses you bring, as the mandir or the office requires them. | Before the ceremony or the appointment. |
| Payment information | Amount, date, mode, transaction reference and a receipt. Card numbers, UPI PINs, net banking passwords, CVVs and OTPs never reach us or our systems. | When you make a payment. |
| Technical data | IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and the time of the visit. | Automatically, when you use this website. |
| Communications | Emails, WhatsApp messages, and a short note of what was said on a call. | When you communicate with us. |
| Purpose | Basis |
|---|---|
| To answer your enquiry and give you a quotation. | Your consent. |
| To provide the service you have booked — arranging the ceremony, preparing and checking documents, filing the application and following it up. | Your consent, and performance of the service you asked for. |
| To file your application with the SDM office, Marriage Officer or Registrar. | Your consent and your express instruction. |
| To pass the necessary particulars to the mandir, or to an advocate where your matter needs one. | Your consent. |
| To keep you updated on the progress of your matter. | Your consent. |
| To raise a receipt, take payment and keep accounting records. | Legal obligation under tax law. |
| To answer a query, a complaint or a dispute, and to defend a legal claim. | Legitimate use permitted by law. |
| To keep this website secure and prevent misuse. | Legitimate use permitted by law. |
| To comply with an order of a court, a police authority, a tax authority or any other authority empowered by law. | Legal obligation. |
We do not use your personal data for behavioural profiling, and we do not use it to build advertising audiences.
Where we rely on your consent, that consent is free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, and is given by a clear affirmative action — filling in and submitting a form, sending us your documents, or telling us in writing to go ahead.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to info@aryasamajcourtmarriagedelhi.com or to the Grievance Officer below. Withdrawing is as easy as giving it — no form, no reason required, no charge. When you withdraw, we stop processing your data for the purpose you withdrew and we erase it unless a law requires us to keep it.
Two honest limits. Withdrawing does not undo anything lawfully done before you withdrew, and it may mean we can no longer carry on with a matter that is already running. And if an application has already been filed with a government office, we cannot withdraw the data already submitted there — that record belongs to the office, and you would need to approach it directly.
In practice, that means all of the following, and our team is trained on each one:
The only exceptions are the ones the law does not let us refuse: a lawful order or notice from a court, a police authority, a tax authority or another authority empowered by law; and the government office where the application you asked us to make has to be filed. Where the law allows us to tell you that such a demand has been made, we will.
Please also understand what we cannot control. A marriage registration becomes a public record in the office's own register once it is made, and a Special Marriage Act notice is displayed publicly for 30 days by law — that is a statutory requirement of the Act, not a choice of ours, and no service can lawfully avoid it. If public notice is a problem for your situation, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will explain honestly which routes do and do not involve one.
We do not sell, rent, trade or licence personal data. We share it only in these situations, and only to the extent needed:
We do not transfer personal data outside India except where a service provider we use stores data outside India, and then only in a country not restricted by the Central Government.
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| An enquiry that did not become a booking | Up to 12 months, then erased. |
| Matter file and the documents in it | While the matter runs, and then up to 3 years, so that we can answer a question about it or give you a copy if you lose yours. |
| Receipts and accounting records | Up to 8 years, as tax law requires. |
| Website access logs | Up to 180 days, as the IT Rules, 2021 require. |
| WhatsApp and email correspondence | With the matter file, on the same 3-year basis. |
When a retention period ends, or when you validly ask us to erase your data and no law requires us to keep it, we erase it and we ask any processor acting for us to do the same. If you want something erased sooner than the table says, ask — we will do it wherever the law allows.
No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we do not claim any certification we do not hold. What we undertake is to use reasonable security practices proportionate to the sensitivity of what we hold, and to tell you promptly if something goes wrong.
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you have the rights below. There is no charge for exercising any of them, and exercising one never affects the service you have booked.
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you, what we are doing with it, and who we have shared it with. |
| Correction | Ask us to correct data that is wrong, or to complete data that is incomplete or misleading. |
| Erasure | Ask us to erase your personal data, unless a law requires us to keep it or it is still needed for a purpose you consented to that is still running. |
| Withdraw consent | Withdraw a consent you gave, at any time, as easily as you gave it. |
| Nomination | Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf if you die or become unable to act. |
| Grievance | Complain to our Grievance Officer and, if you are not satisfied, to the Data Protection Board of India. |
To exercise a right, write to the Grievance Officer below from the email address or phone number we have on file for you, telling us clearly what you want. We may ask a question or two to be sure it is really you — that protects you as much as it protects us. We respond within 90 days, and usually much sooner.
You have a corresponding duty not to impersonate anybody, not to suppress material information where the law requires it to be given, and not to file a false or frivolous complaint.
This website and our services are meant for people aged 18 years or above. Under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 the minimum age to marry in India is 21 for the groom and 18 for the bride, and we do not assist with, document or register a marriage below those ages in any circumstances. We do not knowingly collect the personal data of a child.
We do not undertake behavioural monitoring of children and we do not direct any advertising at children. Where a person has a lawful guardian, we act on the verifiable consent of that guardian — but note that guardianship is support, not a substitute for the consent to marry, which must come from the person themselves. If you believe a child's data has reached us without proper consent, tell us and we will erase it.
If a personal data breach occurs, we will inform each affected person and the Data Protection Board of India without delay, and will give the Board the detailed report the law requires within the prescribed period. What we tell you will include what happened, what data was involved, what we have done about it, and what you should do to protect yourself. We will not delay telling you in order to look better.
This website uses only what it needs in order to work — a session identifier, a security token that protects forms, a small preference store on your own device, and, where enabled, basic analytics that counts in aggregate which pages are read. There are no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking and no fingerprinting, and no data is sold to advertisers. Our Cookie Policy lists every item and explains how to switch it all off.
Most of our communication happens on WhatsApp because it is what couples actually use and because messages are end-to-end encrypted in transit. A few things worth knowing:
Where you are an NRI, an OCI holder or a foreign citizen, the documents involved — passport, visa, No Impediment Certificate, apostille or embassy attestation, proof of residence abroad — are handled on exactly the same basis as everything else in this policy. They go to the office where the application is filed, and nowhere else.
We do not share your data with any embassy, immigration adviser, visa consultant or travel agent, and nobody of that kind is a partner of ours. We do not provide immigration or visa services, and nothing we do should be taken as advice on the immigration consequences of a marriage. If a foreign authority later asks you for a document, we will give you a copy from your own file.
Where a payment is taken online, it is handled by a payment provider regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. Card numbers, UPI PINs, net banking passwords, CVVs and OTPs are entered on that provider's page and are never seen by, transmitted to, or stored on, our systems. We receive only the amount, the date, the mode and a transaction reference, so that we can issue a receipt.
Our receipts always separate our own service charge from government and other pass-through charges, as set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
We do not publish any client's photograph, name, certificate image or marriage details — on this website, on social media, in a review, or anywhere else — unless that client has specifically asked us to and has confirmed it in writing. Consent given for one use is not consent for another, and consent can be withdrawn at any time, after which the material comes down.
Photographs used on this website are illustrative and are not photographs of clients. If you ever see your own photograph in connection with this service anywhere, tell us and it is removed the same day.
This website links to government portals, WhatsApp, map services and other third-party websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or privacy practices. Following an external link takes you out of this website and away from this Privacy Policy.
We may update this policy when the law changes or when we change how we work. The version in force is always the one on this page, carrying the date shown at the top. Where a change materially affects how we use data we already hold, we will tell you before it takes effect.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India, and the courts at New Delhi have jurisdiction — subject to any right you have as a consumer to approach a consumer forum where you reside or work, and to your right to complain to the Data Protection Board of India under the DPDP Act, 2023.
Ask before you book. A call costs nothing and takes two minutes.
For anything about this document, a booking, this website or your personal data, you may write to the Grievance Officer appointed by Legal Space Services under Rule 3(2) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 and Section 13 of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
