About Sangya Project
Sangya Project is India’s first queer-owned sex-tech startup, creating intimate wellness products specifically designed for the Indian market. The Mumbai-based company offers a full range of pleasure products—vibrators, dildos, strap-ons, silicone plugs, suction massagers, and butt plugs—all manufactured with body-safe materials. What makes Sangya Project stand out is its commitment to creating India’s first homegrown intimate massager, dildo, strap-on, and silicone plug, focusing on what the founders call “Desi desires” and kink-affirmative education.
Founded by Tanisha R, Shweta Sangtani, and Aashish Mehrotra, the brand started as an Instagram page run by a queer and poly family, sharing destigmatized education about sexuality and pleasure. It evolved into a full online pleasure store that’s part of India’s sextech revolution breaking taboos around sexual wellness. Sangya Project partners with reputed manufacturers to ensure its products meet international safety standards while remaining accessible to Indian consumers navigating a market historically stigmatized around sexual health and pleasure.

In summary
As of our review, Sangya Project's privacy policy and terms of service appear to reflect a relatively standard but underdeveloped data governance framework for an adult product retailer, with broad data collection and sharing language that in our assessment affords users limited meaningful control. The policies were last updated May 19, 2021, and we did not find concrete retention timelines, specific third-party disclosures, or robust user rights mechanisms in the reviewed text.
- Extensive data collection: name, email, phone, postal address, IP, OS, browser, full URL clickstream, purchase history, scroll/click/mouse-over behavior
- No data sales prohibition or opt-out stated
- No concrete retention period — 'as long as we require' language present
- No specific third parties or data processor categories named
- Deletion requests routed to a single email only — no self-serve account deletion described

Privacy Concerns

- High Data retention language is indefinite and non-specific, providing no actionable timeframe for users
- High Third-party sharing is permitted broadly with no named parties, categories, or international transfer safeguards described
- High Near-total liability waiver in Terms of Service leaves users with very limited recourse for harm arising from service use
- Medium Termination of user access permitted at any time without notice and without a described appeal process
Privacy Positives

- Medium Impact Third-party service providers are explicitly restricted from using personal data beyond their assigned functions
- Medium Impact Credit card data is noted as always encrypted during transfer
