- When you order: your name, email address, telephone number, delivery address, what you bought, and the confirmations you gave at checkout.

- When you browse: the pages you visit and the device and browser you use. Cookies beyond those the site needs to work are set only if you accept them.
3Why we use it
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Taking, making and delivering your order, and answering you | Performing our contract with you |
| Customs declarations, invoices, tax and export records | Legal obligation |
| Preventing fraud and keeping the site secure | Our legitimate interests |
| Sending our letter, and advertising cookies | Your consent, which you may withdraw at any time |
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, we process your data for these specified purposes, with your consent or for the legitimate uses the Act allows, such as fulfilling the order you asked for.
5Where it is kept
The site and its database are hosted on servers in the United Kingdom. Because we are an Indian firm and your order is made and dispatched in India, your order details are also accessed and processed in India. We protect them with the safeguards UK data protection law requires for data processed outside the UK, and we require the same of every provider who handles them for us.
6How long we keep it
- Orders, including your checkout confirmations: six years from the end of the financial year of the order, the period for a contract claim and for tax and customs records.
- Our letter: until you unsubscribe, then a short suppression record so we do not write to you by mistake.
- Enquiries: two years.
- Analytics and advertising data: as set by each provider, typically fourteen months.
7Cookies
The site sets only the cookies it needs to work, such as your basket, until you choose otherwise. The banner lets you accept or decline analytics and advertising cookies with one click either way, and you can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser.
8Your rights
You may ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to erase it, to restrict or object to how we use it, or to receive it in a portable form. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting what was done before. Under the DPDP Act you may also access a summary of your data, have it corrected or erased, nominate someone to act for you, and have grievances heard. We answer every request within one month.
We keep order records we are legally required to keep, even when asked to erase them, and will tell you if that applies.
9Keeping it safe
Every page is served over an encrypted connection. Card payments are handled by Razorpay, which is certified to the PCI DSS standard. Access to order data is limited to the people who need it to make and send your order.
10Children
We sell only to adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
