Privacy Policy
Your information should be handled with care
When someone buys a product from Technowood, asks a question or signs up for an update, they share information with us.
This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used and the choices available to you.
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection framework requires lawful processing and recognises individuals’ rights relating to their digital personal data. The final policy should reflect Technowood’s actual systems, vendors and workflows rather than using generic promises.

4. Marketing communication
We may send product updates, journal stories, offers or announcements where you have chosen to receive them or where otherwise permitted.
You can unsubscribe using the link provided in an email or contact us directly.
Unsubscribing from marketing will not stop essential communications relating to an existing order.

Cookies are small files used to remember preferences and understand how the website is used.
We may use:
- Essential cookies
- Cart and checkout cookies
- Analytics cookies
- Preference cookies
- Advertising cookies, where applicable
Non-essential cookies should be managed through an appropriate consent mechanism where required.

6. Sharing information
We may share relevant information with service providers that help us operate the business, such as:
- Payment gateways
- Courier companies
- Website-hosting providers
- E-commerce platforms
- Email and messaging providers
- Analytics services

They should receive only the information reasonably required to perform their service.
We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process or lawful government request.
7. We do not sell personal information
Technowood does not sell or rent customer personal information for unrelated commercial use.
Where advertising platforms are used, their role and the data shared with them should be described accurately rather than relying only on this statement.
8. Data storage and retention
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably required for:
- Order fulfilment
- Customer support
- Accounting
- Tax compliance
- Fraud prevention
- Legal obligations
- Dispute resolution
- The purposes explained in this policy
Different information may have different retention periods.
The final policy should state the actual approach used by Technowood.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal information.
However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Customers should keep passwords and account-access details confidential and notify us if they suspect unauthorised activity.
10. Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law and implementation timelines, you may be able to:
- Ask what personal information is being processed
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request completion or updating of information
- Request erasure where legally applicable
- Withdraw consent
- Opt out of marketing
- Raise a grievance
- Nominate another individual in circumstances recognised by law
Requests may require reasonable identity verification.
Some information may need to be retained for legal, accounting or fraud-prevention purposes.
11. Children’s information
The Technowood website is intended primarily for adults purchasing household products.
We do not knowingly seek personal information from children for independent commercial use.
The final wording and age-verification approach should reflect the website’s actual audience and legal obligations.
12. External websites
The website may link to external platforms.
Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Technowood is not responsible for how they independently handle information.
13. Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when our operations, technology or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be published with an effective date.
Material changes may also be communicated through appropriate channels.
14. Privacy and grievance contact

Contact person: [name or designation]
