At MohitEcommerce.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website, make purchases, or interact with our services.
MohitEcommerce.com is a dedicated platform that helps businesses build and launch their own online ecommerce stores with ease.
By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please refrain from using our site. We encourage you to read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information. This policy is designed to comply with relevant data protection laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) in India, as well as international standards like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in applicable regions.

1. Information We Collect
We collect various types of information to provide and improve our services, process your orders, and enhance your shopping experience. The information we gather falls into two main categories: personal information and non-personal information.
Personal Information
Personal information is data that can identify you as an individual. We collect this when you voluntarily provide it, such as during account creation, checkout, or customer support interactions. Examples include:
- Contact Details: Your name, email address, phone number, and shipping/billing address. This is essential for order fulfillment, delivery, and communication about your purchases.
- Account Information: Username, password, and preferences when you create an account on MohitEcommerce.com. This allows us to personalize your experience and save your shopping cart.
- Payment Information: Credit/debit card details, bank account information, or details from third-party payment processors like Razorpay or Paytm. We do not store full payment details on our servers; instead, we use secure gateways to handle transactions.
- Order History: Details of products purchased, transaction amounts, and payment methods to maintain records and provide customer service.
- Communication Data: Any information you share via emails, chat support, or feedback forms, including queries about products or returns.
We may also collect personal information from third-party sources, such as social media platforms if you log in via Google or Facebook, or from delivery partners for order tracking.
Non-Personal Information
This includes data that does not directly identify you but helps us understand user behavior. We collect this automatically through cookies, web beacons, and server logs:
- Device and Browser Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and referral URLs.
- Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on the site, search queries, and clickstream data. This helps us analyze trends and optimize our website.
- Location Data: Approximate location based on IP address or GPS (if you enable it for features like local deals), to tailor product recommendations and shipping options.
For users in India, we ensure that all data collection adheres to the principles of consent, purpose limitation, and data minimization as per the DPDP Act.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for legitimate business purposes to operate MohitEcommerce.com effectively and provide you with the best possible service. Key uses include:
- Order Processing and Fulfillment: To confirm orders, process payments, ship products, and handle returns or refunds. For instance, your address is shared with logistics partners like Delhivery or India Post.
- Customer Service: To respond to inquiries, resolve issues, and provide support. If you contact us about a defective product, we use your order history to assist promptly.
- Personalization: To recommend products based on your browsing and purchase history, send personalized emails about deals, or display targeted ads. This enhances your shopping experience without compromising privacy.
- Marketing and Communications: With your consent, we may send promotional emails, newsletters, or SMS about new arrivals, discounts, or loyalty programs. You can opt out at any time via the unsubscribe link.
- Analytics and Improvements: To analyze site performance, user engagement, and trends. Tools like Google Analytics help us understand popular categories, such as electronics or fashion, and improve inventory.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent fraudulent activities, such as unauthorized transactions or account hacks. We monitor IP addresses and login patterns for this purpose.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with laws, regulations, or legal requests, including tax reporting or audits under Indian e-commerce guidelines.
We process data only for the purposes specified and retain it only as long as necessary—typically up to 5 years for order records or as required by law.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share it in limited circumstances to support our operations:
- Service Providers: With trusted vendors who assist in website hosting (e.g., AWS), payment processing, email marketing (e.g., Mailchimp), or analytics. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide.
- Business Partners: For joint promotions or affiliate programs, but only with your explicit consent.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, such as in response to a court order, government investigation, or to protect our rights and safety.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity, with continued privacy protections.
For international data transfers, we ensure compliance with data protection standards, using mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses for GDPR users.
4. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your information and implement industry-standard measures to protect it from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. These include:
- Encryption: SSL/TLS for data in transit and secure hashing for passwords.
- Access Controls: Limited employee access on a need-to-know basis, with regular audits.
- Firewalls and Monitoring: To detect and respond to threats promptly.
Despite these efforts, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection, so we advise you to use strong passwords and avoid sharing sensitive details unnecessarily.
5. Your Rights and Choices
You have several rights regarding your personal data:
- Access and Correction: Request a copy of your data or update inaccuracies via your account settings or by contacting us.
- Deletion: Ask us to delete your data, subject to legal retention requirements (e.g., for tax purposes).
- Opt-Out: Withdraw consent for marketing communications or cookies at any time.
- Portability: Request your data in a transferable format.
- Objection: Object to certain processing, such as automated decision-making for personalized ads.
Indian users can exercise rights under the DPDP Act by submitting requests to our team. We respond to valid requests within 30 days.

You can manage preferences through your browser settings, but disabling them may limit site features. We also use pixels from partners like Google for retargeting ads.
