You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings, but disabling cookies may reduce functionality on our site.
5. Sharing Your Information
We may share your personal information with:

6. Payments & Financial Information
We do not store your full payment card details on our servers. Payment processing is handled by trusted third-party payment processors (for example PayPal, credit card processors, or other gateways). These providers have their own privacy and security practices — please consult their terms when you use them. We may retain transaction records (e.g., last four digits, transaction ID) for accounting and customer service purposes.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes such as analytics and fraud prevention. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, such as:
- Accessing the data we hold about you;
- Correcting inaccurate data;
- Requesting deletion of your data (right to be forgotten) where permitted;
- Restricting or objecting to certain processing (e.g., direct marketing);
- Data portability (receive data in a structured, commonly used format);
- Withdrawing consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise your rights, please contact us at contact@giyim.in. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
9. Security
We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a breach affecting your personal data, we will act in accordance with legal requirements to investigate and notify affected individuals where necessary.
