Lawful Basis

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies, we may process Personal Information based on one or more of the following lawful grounds:

  • Your consent
  • Performance of a contract with you
  • Compliance with legal obligations
  • Protection of your vital interests
  • Performance of a task carried out in the public interest
  • Our legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms

Retention

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. This may include processing orders, maintaining business and transaction records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting our legal rights.

Where permitted under applicable law, you may request deletion of your Personal Information. Certain information may need to be retained where we are legally required to keep it.

Automatic Decision-Making

Where GDPR applies, you may have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making, including profiling, where such processing has legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not use fully automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects using customer Personal Information.

Third-party ecommerce, payment, security, or other service providers may use limited automated processes for purposes such as fraud prevention, payment verification, and transaction security.

Selling Personal Information

Shine with Kasturi does not sell your Personal Information.

We may disclose Personal Information to trusted service providers that assist us with website operations, ecommerce, payment processing, shipping, analytics, customer support, marketing, security, and other legitimate business functions.

Cookies

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you visit our Site.

We may use different types of cookies and similar technologies, including functional, performance, analytics, advertising, social media, and content-related cookies.

Cookies may help us to:

  • Remember your preferences and actions
  • Keep products in your shopping cart
  • Improve website functionality
  • Understand how visitors use our Site
  • Measure website performance
  • Support relevant advertising and marketing activities where applicable

A cookie may remain on your device for different periods depending on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that restricting cookies may affect certain features or functionality of the Site.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can generally change your browser settings to accept, reject, delete, or block cookies.

For additional information about cookies, you may visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Blocking cookies may not completely prevent information from being shared with certain third-party analytics or advertising providers. Additional privacy and opt-out controls may be available directly through those providers.

Do Not Track

There is currently no consistent industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” browser signals. As a result, our Site may not change its data collection or usage practices when such a signal is detected.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Information against unauthorised access, misuse, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Our security measures may include:

  • Access controls and authentication procedures
  • Encryption of sensitive information where appropriate
  • Restricted access to systems and databases
  • Security procedures for employees and contractors
  • Appropriate technical and organisational safeguards

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We encourage you to take appropriate care when providing Personal Information online.

Storage of Personal Information

Personal Information may be stored electronically using secure systems and databases operated by us or by third-party service providers acting on our behalf.

Access to Personal Information is limited to authorised employees, contractors, and service providers who require the information to perform their responsibilities or provide services to us.

When Personal Information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, or business record-keeping requirements.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 14.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us using the details provided above so that we can review the information and, where appropriate, delete it.
