Last Updated: 29 January 2026

Vayndra (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, store, and protect your personal data when you visit or purchase from our website (“Site”).

This Policy is written to align with India’s evolving data protection framework (including the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025).


1) What data we collect

A) Data you provide

  • Contact details: name, phone number, email address

Under DPDP Rules, notices/consent must be clear, and you must have simple ways to withdraw consent and exercise rights.


3) Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Essential site functions (cart, login, checkout)

5) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for:

  • legal compliance
    Then we delete or anonymize it where reasonable, consistent with “storage limitation” principles.


6) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data. However, no method of transmission/storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If a personal data breach occurs, we will take steps required under applicable rules, including notifying affected individuals where applicable.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Access your personal data

8) Children’s data

We do not knowingly collect personal data of children. If we learn that a child’s data was collected, we will delete it unless retention is required by law.

Where applicable, the DPDP Rules require verifiable parental consent before processing a child’s personal data.


9) Grievance / Contact details

For privacy questions or complaints:

Vayndra Privacy Contact / Grievance Officer (DPDP)

(Indian rules also emphasize having a visible grievance mechanism for users/customers on the platform.)

9) Order cancellation

  • You can request cancellation only before dispatch.

  • Once dispatched, cancellation is usually not possible.
