This is a starting draft, written to be readable and reasonable — it is not a substitute for review by a lawyer familiar with Indian data protection law (including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023). Please have it reviewed before the site goes live and payments/database systems are connected.
1. Who we are
Cotton India ("we", "us", "our") sells hand block-printed and naturally dyed women's clothing online and from our store in Bangalore, Karnataka — 560100. This policy explains what information we collect from visitors and customers, and how we use it.
2. Information we collect
- Contact details you give us — name, email, phone number, delivery address — when you place an order, sign up for our newsletter, or message us through the Contact page.
- Order details — items purchased, order value, and order history.
- Basic technical information — such as browser type and general usage of the site — collected automatically to help us keep the site working properly.
- Payment information will be collected and processed by our payment provider once online payments are enabled; we do not store full card details ourselves.
3. How we use it
- To process and deliver your orders
- To respond to messages sent through our Contact page
- To send our newsletter, only if you've opted in
- To improve the site and our products
4. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary — for example, with courier partners to deliver your order, or with payment processors to complete a transaction — and only for that purpose.
5. Data storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. Details of our data storage systems will be added here once our database and hosting setup (via Cloudflare) is finalised.
6. Your choices
You can ask us to update or delete your personal information, or unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, by contacting us using the details on our Contact page.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the business grows. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent change.
