3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use session and persistent cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels to analyze traffic patterns, remember user currency preferences (INR/USD), and improve navigation. You can manage or disable cookie preferences directly in your web browser settings; however, certain interactive portal features may function with diminished convenience.

4. Data Protection and Cybersecurity

We maintain industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your data. All web communication is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (HTTPS/TLS 1.3), and passwords are encrypted using strong bcrypt hashing algorithms.

5. Third-Party Disclosures

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personally identifiable information to third parties. We may share necessary data strictly with trusted service partners under strict confidentiality agreements, including:

• PCI-DSS certified payment processors (e.g., Razorpay) for transaction settlement.
• Cloud hosting and transactional communication delivery providers (e.g., AWS, SMTP services).
• Law enforcement authorities when strictly required by a court order or applicable law.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, review, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data, or restrict specific automated processing. You may manage your profile credentials directly through your customer account portal or by contacting our data privacy representative.
