Privacy policy

A working draft for a product in development. Have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer before launch.

What we collect

Account data: name, email, phone and password hash when you register.
Claim data: the evidence you submit, including work email, phone, tax registration and any documents.
Enquiry data: the details you supply when contacting a business or posting a requirement.
Usage data: page views and aggregate interaction counts, collected through Google Analytics 4. We do not run third-party advertising trackers.

Information about businesses is compiled from public sources and from the businesses themselves. In most jurisdictions publicly published business contact information is not personal data, but we honour removal requests from verified owners regardless.

To operate the directory, review claims, route buyer enquiries to the businesses they are addressed to, and prevent abuse.
Your contact details are passed only to the specific business you contacted, or to suppliers matched to a requirement you posted. We do not sell contact data.

Card details are handled entirely by Razorpay or Stripe. We store only the payment identifier, amount, currency and status. We never see or store card numbers.

Account and claim records are retained while the account is active and for seven years afterwards where required for tax and dispute purposes. Enquiry records are retained for two years.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and object to processing. Write to privacy@furniturestores.online.
Where GDPR or the Indian DPDP Act applies, those rights are honoured within the statutory timeframe.

One essential cookie holds your signed-in session. A local browser preference stores your light or dark theme choice.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people find useful. It sets cookies in your browser and sends Google the pages you view, an approximate location derived from a truncated IP address, and general device information. We have IP anonymisation enabled.
When you are signed in, Google Analytics also receives your internal account number (never your name or email address) so visits from the same account on different devices are counted once, along with whether your email is verified.
When you click to see a business's contact details, we record which business, which account, and when. We use this to limit bulk copying of contact details and to show a listed business how many buyers asked for its number. We do not give the business your identity from this record.
We do not run advertising cookies, remarketing tags, or cross-site ad tracking, and we do not sell or share analytics data with advertisers.
You can opt out with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by using any browser setting or extension that blocks analytics scripts. Nothing on the site stops working if you do.
