Privacy policy

SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you make a purchase from Vavna Designs Studio, we collect the personal information you provide—such as your name, address, and email—as part of the buying and selling process.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your device’s IP address, which helps us understand your browser and operating system to improve your shopping experience.

With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new product launches, and other updates.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT
How do we get your consent?
When you provide your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange a delivery, or return a purchase, we consider that as consent to collect and use your data for that specific reason only.

If we need your information for any secondary purpose—like marketing—we will either ask for your explicit consent or give you an option to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or use your information, at any time, by emailing us at:
customercare@vavna.in

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform we use to sell our products.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure servers, databases, and general application, all protected behind a firewall.

Payment:
If you complete a purchase using a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data using PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) encryption. Your purchase data is stored only as long as necessary to complete the transaction and is deleted thereafter.

All direct payment gateways follow PCI-DSS guidelines set by brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover to ensure safe handling of card data.

You can read Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for more details.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Generally, third-party providers we work with will only access your data to the extent necessary for them to perform services for us.

However, some third-party services, like payment gateways, may have their own privacy policies regarding the data we provide to them. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how your information is handled.

Please note, some providers may be located in different jurisdictions. If you proceed with a transaction involving such providers, your information may be subject to the laws of their respective countries.

Once you leave our site or are redirected to another website or app, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply.

Links:
Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and recommend reading their privacy policies.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY
We take reasonable precautions and follow best industry practices to protect your personal information from being lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, or altered.

Credit card details, if provided, are encrypted via SSL and stored using AES-256 encryption. While no method is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and apply additional safeguards.

SECTION 7 – COOKIES
We use cookies to enhance your shopping experience. You can choose to opt out of these. Here are some examples:

• _session_id: Stores session info (referrer, landing page, etc.)

SECTION 8 – AGE OF CONSENT
By using our website, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence—or that you are the age of majority and have given consent for any of your minor dependents to use this site.

SECTION 9 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they’re posted. If we make significant changes, we’ll notify you here so you’re aware of what data we collect and how we use it.

If Vavna Designs Studio is ever merged with or acquired by another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so we can continue serving you.
