We collect only the data necessary to process orders, deliver products, and provide customer service. This includes:
- Identity & contact data: First name, last name, email address, phone number.
- Address data: Residential / shipping address and pin code (for delivery).
- Payment & transaction data: Payment method (Razorpay transaction details where applicable), order history, COD preference. (We do not store full card details — payment processing for online payments is handled by Razorpay).

We will not use your data for purposes incompatible with the ones described here without informing you and, where required, obtaining your consent.
5. Legal basis & consent
Under applicable Indian law (DPDP Act and IT Act principles), we rely on your consent and the necessity of processing for performance of the sales contract (order fulfilment, payment, delivery). You may withdraw marketing consent at any time; withdrawal will not affect processing necessary for orders already placed.
6. Cookies & similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to run the website, remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser; disabling non-essential cookies may affect site features or analytics. (For general guidance on cookie and consent practices, see privacy platform templates and best practice guides.)
7. Sharing personal data (third parties)
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties only as needed to deliver the service:
- Payment processors: Razorpay for processing online payments. Razorpay’s privacy & buyer notices explain their data handling.
- Logistics & courier partners: for order pickup, transit and delivery. They receive only the data necessary to deliver (name, address, phone).
- Service providers: hosting, email providers, SMS/notification services, analytics tools, and fraud prevention services.
- Law enforcement or governmental authorities: where required by applicable law, court order, or government request.
WE DO NOT SELL PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES.
8. Data retention
We retain data only as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal/accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and improve our services. Typical retention periods: transactional records for tax/compliance purposes (as required by Indian law), customer account and order information until account closure plus any applicable statutory retention period.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. These measures include secure servers, access controls, and industry-standard encryption for data in transit. However, no internet transmission is completely secure – if you have concerns, contact us.

- Online payments: Razorpay handles payment card and UPI transactions; Razorpay’s policies describe their use of payment data. We obtain and store only payment confirmation and transaction identifiers necessary for order reconciliation – not raw card numbers.
- Cash on Delivery (COD): For COD orders we collect the same identity/contact/delivery details required to complete delivery and collect payment at delivery.
