What Personal Information About Customers Does BAPS.Store Gather?

The information we learn from Website visitors and customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping and surfing experience at BAPS.Store. We may use your information in handling orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display recommended content such as wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services that might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve our platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our Website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.

Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our platform, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use "cookies" and obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses BAPS.Store or other content served by or on behalf of BAPS.Store on other Web sites. We may also receive and/or store information about your location and your mobile device or tablet or computer, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information for internal analysis and to provide you with location-based services, such as recommendations, search results, and other personalized content.

E-mail Communications: We may receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from BAPS.Store or when you click on a link in those emails. We may also compare our customer list to lists received from other entities in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.

Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

By using or continuing to use the Website you agree to our use of your information (including sensitive personal information) in accordance with this Privacy Notice, as may be amended from time to time by BAPS.Store in its discretion. You also agree and consent to us collecting, storing, processing, transferring and sharing information (including sensitive personal information) related to you with third parties or service providers for the purposes as set out in this Privacy Notice.

We may be required to share the aforesaid information with government authorities and agencies for the purposes of verification of identity or for prevention, detection or investigation, including of cyber incidents, prosecution and punishment of offences. You agree and consent for BAPS.Store to disclose your information, if so required, under applicable law.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computers hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide personalised features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-ons settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of BAPS.Stores essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you may not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any BAPS.Store products and services that require you to Sign in.

Does BAPS.Store share the Information it receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. BAPS.Store shares customer information only as described below and only with Swaminarayan Aksharpith, the entity running the Website and providing the Products being sold on the Website.

Third Party Service Providers: We may employ or associate with other companies, entities or  individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable law.

Protection of BAPS.Store and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with applicable law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of BAPS.Store, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies, organisations, government or regulatory authorities for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input in addition to maintaining security of your information as per the International Standard IS/ISO/IEC 27001 on "Information Technology Security Techniques Information Security Management System-Requirements".

We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order, if at all required. Your full credit card number is never asked for by the Website, as that information is only to be submitted by you directly on the Payment Gateway page, to the appropriate credit card or financial transaction company during order processing.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information (including sensitive personal information). Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer.

What Information Can I Access?

BAPS.Store gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with BAPS.Store for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. This list may change as our website evolves.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such BAPS.Store features as Your Profile, Wish Lists, Customer Reviews and others.

You can add or update your information. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the previous version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Preferences. (If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of BAPS.Store and orders placed with BAPS.Store, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)
