1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information

Name, email address, password (hashed), and account role when you register.

Purchase history, payment details (processed securely via Stripe — we do not store card numbers), and order records.

Usage Data

Pages visited, products viewed, search queries, and interactions with the platform.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and operate the Poketmart marketplace
  • To process purchases and deliver digital products
  • To communicate with you about orders, account updates, and support
  • To send marketing communications (you can opt out at any time)
  • To detect and prevent fraud and abuse
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with:

  • Sellers: Your name and email when you purchase a product (for order fulfillment)
  • Payment Processors: Stripe processes payments securely; we share minimal data needed for transactions
  • Service Providers: Email services, analytics, hosting — under strict data processing agreements
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption for data in transit, bcrypt hashing for passwords, secure storage for uploaded files, and regular security audits. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Cookies

We use cookies for session management, remembering your preferences, and analytics. You can control cookie settings in your browser. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Data portability (receive your data in a structured format)
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@poketmart.in.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. After account deletion, we may retain certain data for up to 7 years for legal and financial compliance purposes.
