Our data protection practices align with global best practices while specifically addressing requirements under Indian law. We regularly review and update our policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and industry standards.

Data Sharing and Disclosure
We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Any international data transfers (if applicable) will be conducted with appropriate safeguards as required under Indian law.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including:
- Secure servers with encryption
- Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
- Access controls and authentication procedures
- Employee training on data protection
- Secure disposal of data when no longer needed
While we strive to protect your personal information, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to our site.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:
- Active Customers: For the duration of our business relationship and as required for legal, tax, or accounting purposes thereafter (typically 7 years from last transaction).

Upon expiration of the retention period or when data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize your information.
