Last Updated: June 11, 2026 This Return & Refund Privacy Policy supplements our official Website Privacy Policy and specifically governs how we collect, use, store, protect, and dispose of your personal data generated during return, exchange, refund, and after-sales dispute processes. This policy applies to all customers who submit after-sales applications on meragiftstore.in operated by Mera Gift Store. By applying for returns or refunds on our website, you agree to the data processing rules stated below.
1. Data We Collect for After-Sales Processing
We only collect minimal and necessary personal information required to verify, process, and complete your return and refund requests. No irrelevant personal data will be collected. The collected information includes:
- · Order Identification Information: Order number, transaction ID, purchase records, payment amount, and order time.
- · Personal Identification Information: Customer name, registered email, contact phone number, and delivery address associated with the order.
- · After-Sales Application Information: Return reason, refund type, application description, customer feedback, and after-sales communication records.
- · Verification Materials: Product defect photos, unboxing videos, package damage proof, and other supporting images or files you voluntarily submitted.
- · Refund Account Information: Original payment channel records required for refund reversal (we do not store complete bank card, UPI, or wallet sensitive details).
2. Legal Basis & Purpose of Data Processing
We process your after-sales personal data based on contract performance necessity and legal compliance obligations. All data is only used for the following explicit purposes:
- · Verify the authenticity and validity of return and refund applications.
- · Confirm product problems, shipping exceptions, and order discrepancies to determine after-sales liability.
- · Arrange return address verification, goods receiving inspection, and refund execution.
- · Communicate after-sales progress, result notifications, and solution confirmation with customers.
- · Resolve after-sales disputes, provide official inquiry records, and support platform risk control.
- · Comply with local tax, e-commerce, and data retention legal requirements in India.
We will not use your after-sales data for unrelated marketing, commercial promotion, or unauthorized data analysis without your explicit consent.
3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Authorization
We will never sell, rent, or commercially trade your after-sales personal data to any third parties. We only share necessary information with authorized service providers strictly for after-sales completion, including:
- · Logistics service providers: share return shipping address and contact information to receive returned packages.
- · Third-party payment gateways: share transaction IDs and order information to complete refund reconciliation and fund reversal.
- · Regulatory authorities: disclose relevant data only when required by Indian laws, government supervision, or judicial procedures.
All third-party partners are required to sign confidentiality agreements and comply with data protection regulations. They are prohibited from using your data for other purposes.
4. Data Retention Period
We retain your return and refund data only for a reasonable and legal period:
- · After-sales processing data will be retained during the entire after-sales cycle until the refund, return, or exchange case is fully closed.
- · Closed after-sales records will be retained for 3–7 years to comply with local tax auditing, commercial record retention, and dispute traceability requirements.
- · Unnecessary verification images and invalid temporary files will be cleaned up regularly after case closure.
5. Data Security Protection
We adopt industry-standard encryption technology, secure server storage, and access permission management for all after-sales user data. All after-sales staff have passed confidentiality training and are restricted by internal data management rules to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, tampering, or loss of your personal information.
