- Sharing Your Data
As a marketplace, we may share your data with specific third parties to facilitate your transaction:
- Marketplace Sellers: If you purchase an item sold by a third-party vendor (e.g., Roopantaran Consultancy), we share your name and shipping address with them strictly for the purpose of delivering your order.
- Service Providers: Companies that provide IT and system administration services.
- Payment Processors: We use secure third-party payment gateways to process payments. We do not store your full credit/debit card details.
- Logistics Partners: Royal Mail, DHL, or other couriers used to deliver your goods.
- International Transfers
If we transfer your personal data out of the UK (for example, if a Marketplace Seller is based outside the UK), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- The country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
- We use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
- Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. Access to your personal data is limited to those employees, agents, and contractors who have a business need to know.
- Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. By law, we must keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
- Your Legal Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have rights including:
- Right of Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Rectification: Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data.
- Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Ask us to delete your data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
- Right to Object: Object to processing where we rely on a legitimate interest or for direct marketing.
