Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

When you create an account, place an order, or contact us, we collect: your name, email address, mobile number, delivery address, and payment method details. We do not store full card numbers — payments are processed securely by Razorpay.

Information collected automatically

When you browse our website we automatically collect: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This helps us understand how our site is used and improve your experience.

Information from third parties

If you sign in using Google (Firebase Authentication), we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google. We do not receive your Google password.

How We Use Your Information

Order fulfilment

We use your name, address, and contact details to process, ship, and deliver your orders. Your phone number is shared with our courier partners (Shiprocket) solely for delivery purposes.

Account & customer service

Your email and phone are used to send order confirmations, shipping updates, return/refund status, and to respond to your support queries.

Marketing communications

With your consent, we may send you promotional emails or SMS about new products, offers, and sales. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any marketing email.

Improving our services

Aggregated, anonymised usage data helps us understand what works, fix issues, and build better features. This data cannot identify you personally.

Sharing Your Information

We never sell your data

Unique Stain does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their marketing purposes.

Service providers

We share necessary data with trusted partners who help us operate: Razorpay (payments), Shiprocket (shipping & courier), Firebase / Google (authentication), and our cloud hosting provider. Each is contractually bound to protect your data.

Legal requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Unique Stain, our customers, or others.

Data Security

How we protect your data

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). Passwords are never stored — we use Firebase Authentication. Payment data is handled entirely by Razorpay's PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure.

Data retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as required to fulfil legal and tax obligations (typically 7 years for financial records). You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Data breach notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you via email within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with applicable law.
