PRIVACY POLICY (Effective Date: 08 February 2024)

Thank you for using Kari Kadai. We are committed to providing you the best online shopping and delivery experience possible. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how that information is used, under what circumstances we share information, and the choices you can make about that information. This Policy applies whether you access the "Plazeo", a product of "Kari Kadai" service through a browser, a mobile application, or any other method.

This policy applies only to the information Kari Kadai collects through its Services, in email, text and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with its Services.

Information we collect

1. Personal Information that may be collected

At various points in the Kari Kadai experience, you may provide us with information about yourself. For example, when you create an account with Kari Kadai, you provide us with personal information like your name and email address. And if you place an order with Kari Kadai, we collect information including your address, phone number, date of birth and the details of your order.

If you log into the Kari Kadai service through a third-party service, both we and that third-party may receive some information about you and your use of the services. For example, if you choose to log into Kari Kadai with your Facebook account, we may receive information about your contacts. We may also offer social sharing tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button) that let you share actions on Kari Kadai with other sites and vice versa. In those cases, the providers of those tools may receive information about you when you use those tools. You should check the privacy policies of these services and your settings there for more information.

If you wish to invite your friends and contacts to use the Kari Kadai Service, we will give you the option of either entering in their contact information manually or importing it from your address books on other services. In both cases, we will store this information for the sole purposes of allowing you to send your friends referral offers, for determining whether your friends use the Kari Kadai service after a referral is sent, and to remind your friends of the referral sent on your behalf.

Our partners may let us collect information about use of their sites/apps or share such information with us. For example, if you use an Kari Kadai button or widget on another site or app, we may receive information about your use of that button or widget and the third-party site/app.

2.Technical information about usage of Kari Kadai

When you use the Kari Kadai, either through a browser or mobile app, we automatically receive some technical information about the hardware and software that is being used.

Cookies are small text files that are sent by your computer when you access our services through a browser. We, our partners, our advertisers, and third party advertising networks may use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser), persistent cookies (which expire when you choose to clear them from your browser), pixels, scripts, and other identifiers to collect information from your browser or device that helps us do things such as understand how you use our services and other services; personalize your experience; measure, manage, and display advertising on our service or on other services; understand your usage of our service and other services in order to serve customized ads and remember that you are logged in to Kari Kadai. We employ some third-party services to help us understand the usage of Kari Kadai and the performance of advertising, and these third-parties may also deploy cookies, pixels, or other identifiers on our site or collect information through our mobile applications. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand, in a non-personal way, how users interact with various portions of our site -- you can learn more about information that Google may collect here.

For the purposes of this processing or provision of services, we may share your information with them under appropriate confidentiality provisions.
  • For legal purposes — We may share your information when we believe that the disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal process, or requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities, (b) prevent, detect, or otherwise handle fraud, security, or technical issues, and (c) protect the safety, rights, or property of any person, the public, or Kari Kadai.

Collection of Sensitive Personal Data or Information

We do not collect, store, or process sensitive personal data or information as part of our services on our Platform. During payment, only our payment processing partner(s) receive credit card information. We never store credit/debit card information.

Sharing Information with Third Party Service Providers in Relation to the Platform

To the extent necessary to provide you with the services on the Platform, we may provide your Personal Information to third-party contractors who work on behalf of or with us to provide you with such services, to help us communicate with you, or to maintain the Platform. Kari Kadai is a platform that presents you with a set of retailer virtual storefronts from which you can select goods for picking, packing, and delivery by individual stores to your location or, if available, for you to pick up in-store. In order to make this work, we need to share information about you and your order with the other parties who help enable the service. This includes, for example, the individual store team who pick and deliver your order, the payment processing partner(s) that we use to validate and charge your credit card, and the retail partner from whom you are purchasing goods. To be clear, only our payment processing partner(s) receive credit card information. We also share information under the following principles:

  • With your consent or at your direction — We will share your information with entities outside of Kari Kadai when we have your consent to do so or it is done at your direction. For example:

Precise Location Information and How to Opt Out

When you use one of our location-enabled services (for example, when you access Services from a mobile device), we may collect and process information about your mobile device's GPS location (including the latitude, longitude or altitude of your mobile device) and the time the location information is recorded to customize the Services with location-based information and features (for example, to inform you about store availability in your area or applicable promotions). Some of these services require your personal data for the feature to work and we may associate location data with your device ID and other information we hold about you. We keep this data for no longer than is reasonably necessary for providing services to you. If you wish to use the particular feature, you will be asked to consent to your data being used for this purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this. See your device manufacturer's instructions for further details.
