Privacy & Confidentiality
NUDE’s privacy policy will follow the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India) and related laws.

 
Key elements:

● Data Collected: We gather personal details (name, email, phone, address), payment info (handled via secure gateways), and device/cookie data for site functionality. We collect only what’s needed for orders and services, plus optional marketing contacts (with consent).
● Purpose & Lawful Basis: Data is used for order processing, shipping, customer support, analytics, and marketing (newsletter, offers). Legal bases include contract necessity (fulfilling your purchases) and explicit consent for other uses. In compliance with the DPDP Act, every notice will specify data type and purpose: for example, “we use your shipping address to deliver orders” or “your email for order updates and offers (opt-out anytime).”
● Consent and Notice: We will present a clear privacy notice (during signup/checkout) that itemizes the data collected and its uses. Consent is “free, specific, informed, unambiguous”. Users can withdraw consent or change preferences via their account or contacting us; upon withdrawal, data no longer needed is deleted.
● Data Retention: We retain order-related data as required (e.g. for tax/purchase history) but not longer than necessary. For example, we delete or anonymize marketing contacts after a fixed period or upon opt-out. The policy will state retention periods or criteria (e.g. “Personal data will be kept for the duration of your membership plus 2 years”).
● Third-Party Sharing: We share data only with trusted partners for necessary services (payment processors, couriers, marketing/email services) under contract. We do not sell data. We will disclose legal exceptions (e.g. compliance with law enforcement).
● Data Security: We implement reasonable safeguards (encryption, secure servers, SSL/TLS for transactions, access controls, regular audits). Payment card data is handled by PCI-DSS–compliant gateways. In the event of a breach, we will notify the affected user and the Data Protection Board as required.
● Cookies and Tracking: We’ll explain use of cookies (for analytics, site improvements, and logged‐in sessions) with an opt-out. We won’t track personal browsing unless consented.
● User Rights: Users may access, correct, port, or erase their data and restrict processing. They can lodge complaints (to our grievance officer or Data Protection Board). These rights will be explained plainly (e.g. “You can update your profile or ask us to delete your data”). We’ll provide a contact (DPO or Customer Care) for these requests.
● Children’s Data: We will not intentionally collect data from children under 18. If discovered, such data will be deleted.
● Cross-Border Transfers: Although we are India-based, our website may use servers abroad. We will state that data may be stored or processed outside India (following any government-approved conditions).

Concise Policy Text (Legal Version):

● Applicability: This policy covers all digital personal data collected by NUDE/Universalblend Pvt Ltd in India, including from our website, apps, and offline sources.
● Data Collected: We collect identifiers (name, email, phone, address), financial/payment data, device and cookies, and optionally demographics. Sensitive health data is not collected.
● Purpose: Data is used to process orders, manage accounts, handle payments, provide customer service, and send promotional content (with consent). We use analytics to improve products and site experience.
● Lawful Basis: Processing is based on your consent and performance of contract. For example, we use your address to deliver your order (contract necessity), and we will email you discounts only if you opt in.
● Notice & Consent: We provide clear notices at collection points. Consent can be withdrawn anytime (via your account settings or support), and we will delete your personal data unless legal retention is required.
● Sharing: Data is shared only with service providers (couriers, payment gateways, email platforms) under confidentiality agreements. We do not sell data. Government agencies may access data only under legal process.
● Data Security: We employ industry-standard security: SSL for transactions, encryption of sensitive data, access controls and periodic security audits. However, no online system is 100% secure; in a breach event, we will notify the Data Protection Board and affected individuals.
● Retention: Personal data is kept only as long as needed (generally not beyond 2 years after last interaction, unless needed for legal compliance).
● User Rights: You have rights to access your data, request corrections, portability, and erasure. To exercise these, contact our DPO at privacy@nude.com (or via the website’s privacy portal). We will respond per DPDP Act timelines.
● Children: NUDE does not knowingly collect data from minors. Accounts of users under 18 require parental consent.
● Cookies: Our website uses cookies for functionality and analytics. You may disable non-essential cookies in your browser, but core functionality may be affected.
● International Transfers: Your data may be stored or processed in countries where we or our partners operate, subject to any legal conditions from the Indian government.

Plain‐Language Summary:

“In simple terms, your privacy matters to us. Here’s what you need to know: When you place an order or sign up, we ask for basic info (like name, address, email, phone) so we can send you products and updates. We’ll also use cookies (small data files) to make our site work better for you. All data is encrypted and handled securely – we meet India’s privacy laws. We won’t sell your info. We share it only with companies who help us (payment processors, delivery services), and they’re bound to keep it safe. You’re in control. You have the right to see what info we have about you, correct anything that’s wrong, and even ask us to delete your data or stop marketing emails. For instance, if you change your mind about promos, you can unsubscribe anytime. By default, we’ll email you order confirmations and delivery updates unless you opt out.

If you ever have questions or want to use your privacy rights, just email us at shopatnude@gmail.com. We’ll respond as quickly as the law requires. No data is kept longer than necessary – usually only a couple of years after you shop. Finally, kids’ privacy is especially important: we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think we might have, let us know and we’ll delete it right away.
