Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2025

Gadgets4home operates this store and website (the “Services”), including the data, content, features, tools, products, and customer support offered to you. We use Shopify’s technology to power the Services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase (or other transaction) through the Services, or when you communicate with us by any channel.

If there is any conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, this Privacy Policy controls.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge you have read and understood how we handle personal information as described here.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

“Personal information” means any data that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you or another person. It does not include anonymized or de-identified data. Depending on how you interact with us, your location, and applicable law, we may collect or process the following categories (including inferences drawn from them):

• Contact details: name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, email.

• Payment information: card details and other payment data processed via our payment providers; transaction details and confirmations.

• Account information: username, password, security questions, preferences, and settings.

• Transaction information: items viewed, added to cart, saved to wishlist, purchased, returned, exchanged, or canceled; past orders.

• Communications: information you share when contacting customer support or otherwise messaging us.

• Device information: device, browser, network details, IP address, and unique identifiers.

• Usage information: how and when you access or navigate the Services.

Sources of Personal Information

We collect personal information from:

• Directly from you: account creation, purchases, messages, forms.

• Automatically through the Services: including cookies and similar technologies.

• Service providers: who enable our technology or process data on our behalf.

• Business partners or other third parties.

How We Use Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with the Services, we use personal information to:

• Provide, personalize, and improve the Services: fulfill contracts, process payments, manage orders, remember preferences, send account notices, handle purchases/changes/cancellations, arrange shipping, facilitate exchanges where applicable, enable product reviews, and recommend related products.

• Marketing and advertising: send promotional communications and show ads on our site or others based on your activity (e.g., items viewed or purchased). You can opt out of promotional messages (see “Your Rights & Choices” below).

• Security and fraud prevention: authenticate accounts; provide a safe checkout; detect, investigate, and address suspected fraud, abuse, or illegal activity; protect public safety and our Services. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential.

• Customer communications: provide support, respond to requests, and maintain our relationship.

• Legal reasons: comply with laws and lawful requests, respond to legal process, and enforce our terms and policies.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

• With Shopify, service providers, and vendors acting on our behalf (e.g., hosting, IT, payments, analytics, customer support, cloud storage, order management, and shipping).

• With marketing and advertising partners to deliver and measure promotions or ads in accordance with their privacy notices. Depending on your location, you may have rights to limit such sharing (see “Your Rights & Choices”).

• With your direction or consent, including social widgets or third-party integrations.

• Within our corporate family (affiliates and group entities).

• In connection with business transactions (e.g., merger, acquisition, insolvency) and as required by law or to protect rights, safety, and our Services.

Relationship with Shopify

Our Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your use of the Services to provide and improve the platform. For these purposes, information you submit may be transmitted to Shopify and third parties located in countries outside your own. Shopify may also use certain data from interactions with our store, other merchants, and the Shopify platform to protect, develop, and improve its services. In those cases, Shopify acts as an independent controller and is responsible for responding to requests about such use.
For more information about Shopify’s data practices and your rights, see Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy and privacy portal.

Third-Party Sites and Links

The Services may link to third-party websites or platforms not operated by us. Review their privacy and security policies— we are not responsible for their practices, content accuracy, or reliability. Information you share in public or semi-public areas (including social platforms) may be visible to others without restrictions.

Children’s Data

The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under applicable local law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us (see “Contact” below) to request deletion. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” personal information of individuals under 16 (as defined by applicable law).

Security and Retention

No security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee “absolute security.” Information transmitted to us may not be secure in transit; avoid sending sensitive data via unsecured channels.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for account maintenance, to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

International Transfers

We may transfer, store, and process personal information outside your country of residence. Where required (e.g., transfers from the EEA/UK), we use recognized transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other lawful safeguards, unless the destination country has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have some or all of the rights below. These are not absolute and may apply only in certain circumstances:

• Access: request a copy of personal information we hold about you.

• Deletion: request deletion of your personal information.

• Correction: request correction of inaccurate personal information.

• Portability: request a copy of certain information in a portable format or ask us to transmit it to a third party (where feasible).

• Marketing preferences: you may opt out of promotional emails or messages at any time (we may still send non-promotional notices about your account or orders).

To exercise rights available to you, use the options provided in the Services or contact us (see “Contact”). We may need to verify your identity as permitted by law. Where allowed, you may appoint an authorized agent; we will require proof of authorization and may ask you to verify your identity directly.

Non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Communications & Order Updates (How We Contact You)

For order status and tracking, we keep customers updated primarily by direct message (e.g., chat or messaging apps) rather than email. For promotional purposes, we may contact you by email or message where permitted; you can opt out of promotional emails or messages at any time.

“Do Not Sell or Share” (where applicable)

We do not sell personal information. If your local law defines “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, you may have the right to opt out of such sharing; contact us to submit a request.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice.
