Information We Collect

We may collect account information such as name, phone number, email address, login details, and profile-related information required to create and manage your account.
We may collect order, payment-reference, delivery, communication, support, and transaction-related information when you place orders or contact our support team.
We may collect device, browser, IP, usage, cookies, session, and diagnostic information to improve security, platform performance, and service reliability.
If you allow location access or provide an address, we may use location-related information to improve nearby search, delivery relevance, local shop discovery, and related experiences.

How We Use Information

To provide account access, order management, customer support, shop discovery, product browsing, and related platform services.
To support both offline-discovery journeys and order-related workflows for manually verified shops that are enabled for online selling on the platform.
To help match users with nearby shops, relevant categories, delivery areas, and local search results.
To monitor misuse, fraud, abuse, suspicious activity, technical issues, and trust-and-safety risks.
To communicate important service updates, order notifications, policy changes, and support responses.

How Information May Be Shared

Relevant order, delivery, and contact information may be shared with the participating shop or service provider when needed to process and fulfill your request.
If a seller complaint, refund issue, or quality concern is raised, we may use relevant records to review the issue, coordinate with the participating shop, and decide whether platform-level action is needed.
We may share information with service providers, hosting partners, analytics tools, communication vendors, or payment-related partners that help us operate the platform, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal request, dispute handling, enforcement needs, or platform safety obligations.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for platform operations, support, legal compliance, dispute handling, fraud prevention, and record-keeping needs.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect stored information, but no transmission or storage method can be guaranteed as completely secure.
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and notifying us if unauthorized access is suspected.

Your Choices and Rights

You may contact us to request access, correction, update, deletion, or clarification regarding the personal information associated with your account, subject to applicable law and legitimate business requirements.
You may manage certain permissions such as location access directly through your device or browser settings.
If you no longer wish to use the platform, you may request account-related support through our official contact channels.

Children, Third-Party Links, and Policy Updates

The platform is not intended for unlawful use or for anyone who cannot legally enter into binding arrangements under applicable law.
Our services may reference third-party shops, tools, websites, or services. Their practices are governed by their own policies and terms.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the platform after updates means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.

For users

Use StoreAO to discover nearby shops, compare offerings, contact shops, and place orders with verified online-selling sellers when that option is enabled. Coverage may look lighter outside Srikakulam until more local sellers join.

Some shops are listed only for offline discovery, direct contact, and store visit support.
Verified online-selling shops may accept COD orders through the platform.
Users should review shop details, delivery terms, and seller policies before placing an order.

For shop owners

StoreAO gives shop owners a local discovery presence and may enable online selling only after manual verification.

Manual verification is required before a shop can be enabled for online selling on StoreAO.
Shop owners remain responsible for listings, pricing, stock, order acceptance, delivery, and refunds.
Repeated quality or complaint issues can lead to warnings, restrictions, suspension, or removal of online-selling access.
