Privacy policy
This policy describes how BforBusiness (“Bfor”, “we”, “our”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you use the BforBusiness marketplace, mobile app and related services (the “Platform”).
1. Information we collect
- Account data: name, business name, mobile number, email, password hash, and (for sellers) PAN, GSTIN, bank account details and authorised signatory information.
- Delivery data: pincode, full address, contact person and phone for each shipment.
- Transaction data: orders, invoices, payments, payout history, disputes and refunds.
- Usage data: pages viewed, searches, products compared and devices used — to operate and improve the Platform.
2. How we use it
- To run the marketplace — listings, comparisons, orders, invoices, shipments.
- To verify sellers and comply with GST, IT and consumer-protection laws.
- To provide customer support and resolve disputes.
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse or policy violations.
- With your consent, to send relevant offers and product updates.
3. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We share only what is necessary with: payment gateways (Razorpay), logistics providers (Shiprocket and seller-managed couriers), tax authorities when legally required, and our cloud infrastructure providers under standard data-processing agreements.
4. Retention
Transaction records are retained for 8 years to meet GST and audit requirements. Account data is retained while your account is active and for 18 months after closure unless a longer period is required by law.
5. Your rights
- Access, correct or update your account data from your profile.
- Request a copy of your personal data in machine-readable form.
- Request deletion of data we are not required to retain by law.
- Withdraw marketing consent at any time.
To exercise these rights, write to privacy@bforbusiness.in.
6. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. Passwords are stored only as Argon2 hashes. Card details are never stored on our servers — Razorpay tokenises them. Production access is restricted and audit-logged.
7. Changes
Material changes will be announced by email and an in-app banner at least 14 days before they take effect.
