Last updated: July 19, 2026

VarietyKart operates this online store and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how VarietyKart collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, create an account, place an order, contact us, submit a vendor enquiry, or otherwise interact with our services.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal information we collect

Depending on how you interact with VarietyKart, we may collect the following categories of information:

  • Contact and account information: name, email address, telephone number, account credentials, and communication preferences.
  • Order and delivery information: billing address, shipping address, products ordered, order history, returns, refunds, and delivery details.
  • Payment information: payment method and transaction details. Payment card information is processed by Shopify and approved payment providers and is not stored directly by VarietyKart in complete form.
  • Communications: information provided in customer-service messages, contact forms, reviews, return requests, vendor enquiries, and other correspondence.
  • Device and usage information: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, links selected, referring pages, and information collected through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Marketing information: marketing preferences and interactions with advertisements or promotional communications.

How we collect information

We collect personal information directly from you when you provide it, automatically through your use of the website, and from service providers or business partners that help us operate the store, process payments, deliver orders, prevent fraud, provide analytics, or support marketing activities.

How we use personal information

We may use personal information to:

  • operate and improve the website and shopping experience;
  • process payments, orders, deliveries, returns, refunds, and customer accounts;
  • communicate about orders, products, customer-service requests, vendor enquiries, and account activity;
  • personalize content and product recommendations;
  • send marketing communications where permitted and manage communication preferences;
  • detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity;
  • maintain business records, enforce our terms and policies, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

How we disclose personal information

We may disclose personal information to service providers and business partners where necessary to operate the store and provide services. These parties may include Shopify, payment processors, suppliers, fulfilment partners, carriers, customer-service providers, analytics providers, advertising providers, cloud-hosting providers, professional advisers, and fraud-prevention services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or government authority; to protect the rights, safety, and security of VarietyKart, customers, or others; or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to us, except where permitted by law or disclosed in their own privacy notices.

Shopify

Our store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information to provide the ecommerce platform, checkout, payment, security, analytics, and related services. Information may be processed in countries other than your own. More information about Shopify's privacy practices is available in Shopify's consumer privacy policy and privacy portal.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance, prevent fraud, and support advertising. Browser and device settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some website functions may not work correctly as a result.

Marketing choices

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages. Even after unsubscribing from marketing, we may continue to send non-promotional communications concerning orders, accounts, returns, security, or customer-service requests.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to complete transactions, provide services, maintain business and tax records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send highly sensitive information through ordinary email or public contact forms.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, withdrawal of consent, restriction or objection to certain processing, or a copy of information in a portable format.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, security, transaction, or record-keeping purposes.

Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age at which they may legally provide consent in their jurisdiction. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us to request review or deletion.

International processing

Our service providers, suppliers, and technology partners may process information outside your province or country. Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and VarietyKart is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third parties.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this website with an updated effective date.
