• Guardian Data for Minors: Parent or lawful guardian's verified name, phone number, relationship, and written consent.

1.2 Purpose of Processing

Data is used exclusively to administer workshops, verify age eligibility, confirm seat bookings, send urgent rehearsal/venue updates, maintain safeguarding logs, and ensure physical safety.

1.3 Data Protection & Retention

RANGSHAKTI adheres to strict data minimization. Personal records are retained only as long as operationally or legally necessary and are securely shredded or deleted thereafter. We do not sell or trade user information to third-party marketing brokers.

Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to rangshakti.com, ticket reservations, and participation in theatre training, auditions, masterclasses, and stage productions.

2.1 Enrolment & Accurate Information

Users must provide accurate details during registration. Any false representation regarding age, guardian authorization, or health safety may result in cancellation without refund.

2.2 Programme & Schedule Adjustments

Live theatre involves venue availability, production demands, and artist health. RANGSHAKTI reserves the right to reschedule sessions or substitute trainers with qualified professionals. Material changes will be communicated promptly.

2.3 Artistic Training & Career Disclaimer

2.4 Physical Activity Disclosure

Acting exercises involve physical warm-ups, vocal projection, body movement, and stage choreography. Participants must notify trainers of pre-existing injuries or physical limitations in advance.

Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refund Policy

3.1 Safety Exception

A participant removed for physical violence, harassment, or severe code-of-conduct breach forfeits refund entitlement. A person raising a good-faith safety complaint is never penalized financially.

Women & Girls Safety and Anti-Harassment Policy

4.1 Prohibited Behaviors

• Unwelcome sexual remarks, suggestive jokes, advances, or persistent unsolicited personal messages.
• Non-consensual physical contact, touching, forced hugs, or deliberate crowding.
• Using casting, stage roles, grades, or authority to demand personal or romantic favors ("quid pro quo").
• Taking unauthorized photos or videos in backstage, green rooms, or costume-changing areas.
• Stalking, intimidation, blackmail, or victim retaliation.

4.2 Consent in Theatre Choreography & Rehearsals

Artistic passion does not supersede personal dignity. Scenes requiring simulated intimacy, stage combat, or physical touch must be discussed beforehand, choreographed step-by-step, agreed upon by both artists, and can be stopped at any moment if comfort boundaries are breached.

4.3 Reporting & Internal Committee Mechanism

Reports may be submitted directly to our Designated Safety Officer at Hemant@rangshakti.com or by phone at 9310226751. Matters falling under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH) receive prompt, confidential statutory handling with zero retaliation.

• Minors cannot register independently by ticking an adult checkbox.

5.2 Operational Safeguards for Young Artists

• Respect personal boundaries; ask before any physical contact in non-choreographed exercises.
• Care for venue property, sound equipment, stage lighting, props, and costumes.
• Maintain constructive, courteous communication in official Rangshakti WhatsApp batches.

6.1 Disciplinary Framework

Violations result in progressive intervention: Verbal Guidance → Formal Written Warning → Immediate Suspension or Removal from Production without fee refund.
