COOKIES

We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of our Websites. A cookie is a small data file sent by our website onto your computer, tablet, Smartphone or similar device each time you use the device to visit our website. Cookies mean that the next time you visit the website our system recognises your device, and cookies assist us in providing customized services. We also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a "cookie". Cookies can also help us provide information, which is targeted to your interests. Cookies may be used to identify logged in or registered users. A cookie itself contains no personal data and does not collect any personal data. Cookies can store user settings and other information.

We will not share any personally identifiable information provided by this Cookie with any third party. We will, however, link data stored in Cookies to the personally identifiable information You submitted while on our site. If you choose to reject the Cookie, you can still browse our store but will be unable to use the ‘shopping cart’ to purchase merchandise. The shopping cart cannot function without cookies enabled so that the necessary information to process your order is retained. If you disable Cookies, the Website will be unable to accept your online order and will consequently be unable to confirm product purchases.

Any cookies sent by the site operator and stored on your device are designated “first-party cookies”. Some cookies may be placed by other parties; these are then designated “third party cookies”. First party cookies are those cookies which are associated with the host name. Third party cookies are cookies from other domains. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use Cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these Cookies, as they are generated by third party provider domains, and can therefore only be administered by the respective third party. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by the first party only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Your information is regarded as confidential and therefore shall not be divulged to any third party, unless if legally required to do so to the appropriate authorities, or if necessary to ensure Users may fully avail of the services of the App/Website.

We shall not sell, share, or rent your personal information to any marketing agencies or any other such companies that indulge in unsolicited communications. Any communication by Us to You shall be undertaken in accordance with Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

Due to the existing regulatory environment, We cannot ensure that all of your Personal Information shall never be disclosed in ways other than those described in this Privacy Policy. Although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications would always remain private.

External Service Providers: There may be a number of services offered by external service providers that help You use our Website. If You choose to use these optional services, and in the course of doing so, disclose information to the external service providers, and/ or grant them permission to collect information about You, then their use of Your information is governed by their privacy policy.

Other Corporate Entities: We share much of our data, including Your Personal Information, with Our parent and/ or subsidiaries that are committed to serving Your needs through use of Our Website and related services, throughout the world. Such data shall be shared for the sole purpose of enhancing Your experience of using the Website. To the extent that these entities have access to your information, they shall treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other members. It is possible that We and/or its subsidiaries, or any combination of such, could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect that we would share some or all of your information in order to continue to provide the service. You shall receive notice of such event (to the extent it occurs).

Law and Order: We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights. We can, and You so authorise Us, disclose Your Personal Information to law enforcement and other government officials as We, in Our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose Us/ Us or You to any legal liability.

Any information that you make publically available on the site may be potentially viewed by any party, and by posting such material it is deemed that you consent to share such information with such parties.

ACCESSING, REVIEWING AND CHANGING YOUR PROFILE

Following registration, You can review and change the information You submitted at the stage of registration, except Your display name/ username. An option for facilitating such change shall be present on the home screen of the App/Website and such change can be facilitated by emailing us at wecare@pinkaprons.in. If You change any information, We may keep track of Your old information.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, or to remove Your profile, please write to or email us as soon as possible, at wecare@pinkaprons.in . We shall promptly correct any information found to be incorrect. All User profiles are kept confidential and are not viewable by any other members/users.

We shall retain in Our files, information You have requested to remove for certain circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce Our terms and conditions. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from Our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored back up systems. Therefore, You should not expect that all of Your personally identifiable information shall be completely removed from our databases in response to Your requests.

SECURITY We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorised access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access by members inside and outside the Company. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to Us and information that we have accessed. However, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. You therefore agree that any security breaches beyond the control of Our standard security procedures are at Your sole risk and discretion.

INDEMNITY You agree and undertake to indemnify us in any suit or dispute by any Third Party arising out of disclosure of Personal Information by You to Third Parties either through Our App/Website or otherwise and Your use and access of Apps/Websites and resources of Third Parties. We assume no liability for any actions of Third Parties with regard to Your Personal Information, which You may have disclosed to such Third Parties.

SEVERABILITY Each paragraph of this privacy policy shall be and remain separate from and independent of and severable from all and any other paragraphs herein except where otherwise expressly indicated or indicated by the context of the agreement. The decision or declaration that one or more of the paragraphs are null and void shall have no effect on the remaining paragraphs of this privacy policy.

AMENDMENT Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time.
