Privacy Policy: How We Protect and Respect Your Personal Data

 

Introduction

Your privacy matters to us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit or interact with our website.

We value your trust and are committed to being transparent about our data practices. By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Our goal is simple — to ensure that your personal data remains safe, secure, and confidential.

We collect two main types of information from our visitors:

a. Personal Information

This includes details that identify you personally, such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Contact number
  • Billing or shipping address

b. Non-Personal Information

This includes information that doesn’t identify you directly, such as:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device information

This data helps us improve user experience and website performance.

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve functionality and performance.

Cookies help us:

  • Remember your preferences and login details.
  • Understand user behavior and traffic patterns.
  • Deliver personalized content or ads.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the website may not function properly without them.


5. Data Storage and Security

We take data security seriously.
All personal data is stored in secure servers protected by:

  • Advanced encryption protocols.
  • Firewalls and anti-malware systems.
  • Access control and authentication systems.

We also use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt data transmission between your browser and our servers.

However, no online transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.


6. Data Retention Policy

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.
  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

Once your information is no longer required, we permanently delete or anonymize it.


7. Third-Party Services

Our website may use or link to third-party services such as:

  • Payment gateways (e.g., PayPal, Stripe)
  • Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Advertising networks or social media platforms

These third-party providers have their own privacy policies.
We recommend reviewing their terms before engaging with their services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

We only share your information when necessary to:

  • Complete transactions (e.g., with payment processors).

  • Operate and maintain website functionality.

Your personal information is never sold, traded, or disclosed without your explicit consent, except as required by law.
