What personal information do we collect and why?

Here, we describe what information is collected and the reasons for collecting it. The categories of information collected are as follows:

  • Site visit trackers
    Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to track their journey through the website.
    Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer's IP address, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google does not grant us access. We consider Google a third-party data processor (see section below).
    GA uses cookies, details of which can be found on Google's developer guides. Our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.

However, the customer's email ID is deleted from their database after the purchase is complete.

"Do not sell my data" - Why we don't have it?
We do not sell the personal information of our customers or minors below the age of 16 years to third-party data collectors. Hence, our website's "Do not sell my data" opt-out button is optional.
