1. Introduction
Welcome to Gletr ("we," "us," "our"). We operate an online marketplace platform (the "Platform") that connects buyers with independent, third-party jewellery sellers ("Sellers"). We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal data when you visit our website (https://shop.gletr.com), use our mobile application, or engage with our services (collectively, the "Services").
Because we are a marketplace, it's important to understand that to complete a transaction, we need to share some of your information with the Seller you choose to purchase from. This policy outlines our responsibilities and provides information on the data shared.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our Services. This information can be categorized as follows:

- Transaction Information: When you place an order, we collect details about the products you purchase, shipping address, and order total. Note: We do not directly collect or store your full credit/debit card numbers. All payments are processed by secure third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay). We may receive transaction confirmation and partial payment details from them.
- Communications: We collect information when you communicate with us (via email, phone, or our Platform's messaging system), contact customer support, or communicate with Sellers through our Platform.

- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities, personalize your experience, and for analytics. Please see Section 5 below for more details.
c) Information We Collect from Third Parties
- Sellers: A Seller may provide us with information about your order, such as shipping and fulfillment status.

4. How We Share Your Information
As a marketplace, sharing information is essential to our operation. We share your data in the following circumstances:
- With Sellers: To enable the fulfillment of your order, we share your name, shipping address, contact phone number, and order details with the Seller from whom you made the purchase. These Sellers have their own privacy policies and are responsible for how they use your data. We contractually require them to protect your data but are not responsible for their actions outside of our explicit instructions.
- With Service Providers: We engage third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, shipping and logistics, cloud hosting (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud), data analytics, and marketing. We only share the information necessary for them to perform these services.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Platform of any change in ownership.
- With Your Consent: We may share your information for other purposes with your explicit consent.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to help our Platform function, analyze performance, and personalize content and ads. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features or areas may be limited.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with Services. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations (e.g., tax and accounting requirements), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
