eBuy.store is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you access or use the eBuy.store website, services, and marketplace (the "Platform").

This policy is issued in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 ("SPDI Rules").

  • Login credentials (stored in encrypted / hashed form)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information only for legitimate platform purposes, including:

  • Processing transactions and payouts
  • Verifying sellers and enforcing platform rules
  • Detecting fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Providing customer support and system notifications
  • Complying with legal and regulatory requirements

We do not use personal data to make automated decisions that produce legal or significant effects on users.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Information may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With payment processors, logistics partners, or service providers strictly for operational purposes
  • With experts, support staff, or administrators on a need-to-know basis
  • When required by law, court order, or government authority
  • To protect the rights, safety, or integrity of the Platform and its users

All third parties are required to handle data in a manner consistent with this policy.

4. Buyer and Seller Protection Clarification

While eBuy.store implements verification, monitoring, and dispute handling mechanisms, the Platform:

  • Does not guarantee transaction outcomes
  • Does not guarantee authenticity, delivery, or resolution
  • Does not assume liability for buyer-seller conduct

Any references to buyer or seller protection describe processes, not guarantees.

5. Data Security Practices

We implement reasonable security practices, including:

  • Encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS)
  • Restricted internal access controls
  • Secure server environments
  • Hashed storage of passwords and credentials

No system is completely secure, and eBuy.store does not guarantee absolute data security.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some Platform features may not function correctly.
