Your contact information and order history allow our support team to assist you with returns, replacements, and any queries efficiently.
Site Improvement & Analytics
Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us identify which product categories are popular, fix bugs, and improve our search and filter tools. We do not sell or share individual browsing data with third parties for advertising.
Marketing Communications
With your consent, we may send you promotional emails about new parts, restocks, and exclusive deals. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any marketing email, or by writing to us at privacy@budsbazaar.in.

We may process your data to comply with applicable Indian laws (including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), respond to lawful requests from government authorities, or enforce our Terms of Service.
Data Retention
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your account and order data for as long as your account is active and for up to 7 years thereafter, as required by Indian tax and accounting regulations. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
Marketing Data
If you have opted in to marketing emails, we retain your email address until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Unsubscribing from marketing does not delete your account or order history.

Correction
If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can update it directly from your account settings, or contact us and we will correct it promptly.
Deletion
You may request that we delete your personal data at any time. We will honour this request unless retention is required for legal, regulatory, or fraud-prevention purposes.
Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (such as marketing emails), you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
