3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, and delivering orders (e.g. courier companies, payment gateways). These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential.
Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government authority under Indian law.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, customer data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance.
We never share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) across our website.
- Secure database storage with access controls and row-level security policies.
- Payment card data is never stored on our servers — all transactions are handled by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.
- Regular security reviews and access audits.
While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
