This Privacy Policy outlines how Tata Bazaar ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information from users of our iOS app ("Tata Bazaar" or "the App"). Tata Bazaar allows users to interact with connected products (clothing embedded with NFC chips) to build digital wardrobes, participate in brand-created challenges, and earn rewards. By using Tata Bazaar, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Usage Data: We collect information on how you use the App, including frequency of interactions, challenges completed, rewards earned, and other app-specific activities.
Device Information: Information related to your device (e.g., device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers) may be collected to optimize and enhance the App’s functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

3. Sharing Your Information

We value your privacy and limit the sharing of your information to:

Brands within the App: Brands may receive anonymized, aggregated data on how users engage with their products and challenges to understand campaign effectiveness. We will not share personally identifiable information unless required for rewards fulfillment and with your explicit consent.
Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party providers to perform tasks on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, and customer support. These providers are obligated to maintain confidentiality and are limited in their use of your information.

4. Security of Your Information

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no security measure is infallible, and we cannot guarantee complete security.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights concerning your data:

Access and Correction: You may access and update your personal information within the App.
Deletion: You can request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting our support team. Please note that deleting certain information may limit your ability to fully utilize the App's features.
Marketing Preferences: You may opt out of marketing communications at any time through the app settings.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the App’s services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your data in compliance with applicable laws.

8. International Users

If you access Tata Bazaar from outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in a country that may not have the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. By using Tata Bazaar, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your own.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted within the App, and we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the App after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
