Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]. This policy explains what information Thrift Bazaar collects, why, and what you can do about it.

What We Collect

  • Order details — name, business name, billing and delivery address, phone number, email and GSTIN where you provide it
  • Account details — if you create an account, your login credentials and order history
  • Enquiry details — whatever you send us when requesting a quote
  • Technical data — IP address, browser type and pages viewed, collected automatically by the site and its analytics

We do not store your card or bank details. Payments are handled by the payment gateway, which processes card data on its own systems.

Why We Use It

  • To process, pack, dispatch and invoice your order
  • To answer enquiries and send quotations
  • To meet GST and other statutory record-keeping obligations
  • To improve the site and understand which products people look for
  • To send offers or stock updates, only where you have opted in

Who We Share It With

We share only what is needed to fulfil your order: your delivery address and phone number go to the courier, your payment details go directly to the payment gateway, and order records go to our accountant for statutory filings. We do not sell or rent customer data to anyone.

Cookies

The site uses cookies to keep your cart contents, remember your login, and measure traffic. Blocking cookies in your browser will stop the cart and checkout from working properly.

How Long We Keep It

Order and invoice records are retained for the period required under Indian tax law. Account data is kept until you ask us to delete the account. Enquiry emails are kept while the enquiry is active and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Your Rights

You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete your account, or unsubscribe from marketing at any time. Write to [EMAIL ADDRESS] and we will respond within a reasonable period. Note that we cannot delete invoice records we are legally required to retain.

Security

The site runs over HTTPS and access to order data is restricted to staff who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information.
