At our multi-vendor platform, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you use our mobile app. By accessing and using our services, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Information Collection and Use
When you use our mobile app, we may collect certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and delivery address. We use this information to provide you with the requested services, process your orders, and communicate with you regarding your account and transactions.
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as your device information, IP address, and browsing activity, to improve our app's functionality and personalize your experience. This information is collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We understand the importance of keeping your information confidential. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform, delivering services to you, or conducting our business. These parties are obligated to keep your information secure and confidential.
We may also disclose your information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or to comply with a legal process, such as a court order or subpoena.
Data Security
We take appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use industry-standard security technologies and procedures to safeguard your data during transmission and storage. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our mobile app may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. Once you leave our app and access these external sites or services, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they collect, use, and protect your information.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our servers.
Incorporating Identity Verification
To enhance security and prevent fraudulent activities, we have implemented an identity verification process for our delivery personnel. This involves collecting and verifying their identity information, including but not limited to their identity number. This information is securely stored and used solely for verification purposes within our app.

You have the right to request the deletion of your account and any associated data. If you wish to delete your account, please contact us using the information provided below. We will process your request promptly and delete your account and associated data unless retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective when posted on our mobile app. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices. Your continued use of our app after any modifications signify your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
