How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By providing your email address on this app, you consent to receiving emails from us. We only send emails to individuals who have given us authorization to contact them, either directly or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails and respect your preferences regarding spam. If you submit your email address solely for order processing purposes, we will use it solely to send you information and updates related to your order. However, if you have provided the same email address through another method, we may use it for any of the purposes outlined in this Policy.

Could my information be transferred to other countries?

As an India-based company, we may transfer and host the information collected through our website, direct interactions with you, or the use of our help services to our offices, personnel, or third parties located worldwide. This means that your information may be viewed and stored anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws governing the use and transfer of such data. By using any of the mentioned services, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of your information, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Is the information collected through our Service secure?

We have implemented various measures, including physical, electronic, and managerial procedures, to protect the security of your information and prevent unauthorized access. However, it is important to note that no security measure is foolproof, and both individuals and security systems can encounter vulnerabilities. Mistakes, intentional misconduct, and human errors can still occur, despite our reasonable efforts to ensure data security, including the use of encryption systems. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In the event that applicable law imposes a non-disclaimable duty on us to protect your personal information, you agree that our compliance with that duty will be measured based on intentional misconduct. This means that we will be held accountable for intentional actions that result in a breach of our duty to protect your personal information.

Can I update or correct my information?

If you wish to make updates, corrections, changes, or deletion of your personally identifiable information, you can contact us. The options available to you include:

• Updating or correcting your personally identifiable information.
• Changing your communication preferences and opting out of certain information.
• Deleting your personally identifiable information by canceling your account.

Please note that any updates, corrections, changes, or deletions you make will only apply to the information we maintain and will not affect any information already provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

To ensure the privacy and security of your information, we may request certain steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your profile or making corrections. It is your responsibility to keep your account information confidential and secure.

Please be aware that due to technological limitations, it may not be possible to completely remove every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. Additionally, the need for system backups to prevent inadvertent data loss means that copies of your information may exist in non-erasable forms that are difficult or impossible for us to locate.

Once we receive your request, we will make reasonable and technically practicable efforts to update, correct, change, or delete your personal data stored in our active databases and other searchable media promptly and to the extent feasible.

Sale of Business

We may transfer your information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, or that portion of our business to which the Service relates. This may also occur if we discontinue our business or file for bankruptcy. In such cases, we will ensure that the third party agrees to uphold the terms of this Privacy Policy and handle your information in a manner consistent with our obligations.

This transfer of information will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and we will take reasonable steps to notify you of any such transfer and any material changes to how your information is handled as a result of the transfer.

When we provide information to our Corporate Affiliates, they will handle that information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

This sharing of information is done to support our business operations and provide you with a seamless experience across our affiliated entities. We ensure that our Corporate Affiliates comply with the same privacy standards and safeguards as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain your information for as long as it is necessary to provide you with the Service and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. This also applies to any third parties with whom we share your information and who perform services on our behalf. Once your information is no longer needed and there is no legal or regulatory requirement for us to retain it, we will either delete it from our systems or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you. We take these measures to ensure the protection of your privacy and comply with applicable data protection laws.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented various measures to protect it. When you place an order or provide personal information, we use a secure server and employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the sensitive/credit information you transmit. This encrypted information is stored in our Payment gateway providers’ database and can only be accessed by authorized individuals who are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction is completed, we do not retain your private information such as credit cards, social security numbers, or financials on file.

While we strive to maintain the highest level of security, it’s important to note that no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information you transmit to us, nor can we guarantee that your information on the Service will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed due to a breach of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. However, we continuously review and update our security practices to protect your information to the best of our abilities.

We take the protection of children’s privacy seriously.
