Privacy policy

A professional Privacy Policy is legally required in India under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and is crucial for your export ambitions. For Honnesha, this document builds trust by showing customers that their measurements and addresses are safe.

Since it is 2026, your policy must account for the latest DPDP rules regarding consent and international data transfers.

Honnesha Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to get your saree to your doorstep:

  • Personal Identity: Name, age, and gender (to help with saree styling).

  • Contact Details: Email address, phone number, and shipping/billing address.

  • Measurements: Blouse or fall/pico measurements if you opt for our stitching services.

  • Payment Data: We do not store credit card details. All payments are processed through encrypted, third-party gateways (like Razorpay or PayPal).

2. How We Use Your Data

  • Order Fulfillment: To process your purchase and ship it via our delivery partners.

  • Customer Support: To answer your queries via WhatsApp or email.

  • Marketing: If you "Opt-In," we’ll send you updates on new Maheshwari or Chanderi arrivals. You can unsubscribe anytime.

  • Legal Compliance: To maintain records for GST and export documentation (IEC/Customs).

3. International Data Transfers (For Exports)

As a startup trader, when you ship globally, we share your name and address with international couriers (like DHL or FedEx). By using our services, you consent to this necessary transfer of data for the purpose of delivery.

4. Your Rights (DPDPA 2026 Compliance)

Under Indian law, you have the right to:

  • Access & Correct: Update your personal details at any time through your account.

  • Withdraw Consent: You can ask us to stop using your data for marketing.

  • Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete your data (unless we are legally required to keep it for tax/GST audits).

5. Cookies

We use "cookies" to remember the items in your cart and to analyze website traffic. This helps us understand which saree designs are trending so we can bring you more of what you love.

6. Contact Our Data Officer

If you have questions about your privacy, please contact our designated grievance officer:

  • Name: [Your Name/Officer Name]

  • Email: info@honneshaindore.com

  • Address: Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Important Checklist for Honnesha

  • The "Unboxing" Clause: Since you are a small business, it is a good idea to mention in your Terms & Conditions (linked to your Privacy Policy) that you collect customer data/videos for "Damage Protection" to verify returns.

  • Consent Pop-up: In 2026, "implied consent" is no longer enough. Ensure your website has a clear "I Agree" checkbox during checkout or account creation.

  • Third-Party Links: Since you use Instagram for marketing, remind users that once they click a link to go to Instagram, their privacy policy applies, not yours.
