Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information NovaMart collects when you use our platform, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using NovaMart, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Account information
When you register, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and a hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.
Order information
When you place an order, we collect your delivery address, payment method selection, and order details. For digital payments, the transaction is processed by our payment gateway (SSLCommerz) — we do not store card numbers or mobile wallet PINs.
Usage data
We collect standard server-side logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) to maintain security and improve our platform. We do not sell this data to third parties.
2. How We Use Your Information
Order processing
We use your name, phone number, and delivery address solely to process and deliver your order, and to contact you about that order if needed.
Account management
Your email address is used to send order confirmations, status updates, and (if you opt in) promotional communications. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
Security
We use login activity logs to detect suspicious account behaviour and protect you from unauthorised access.
3. How We Share Your Information
Delivery partners
We share your name, phone number, and delivery address with the courier partner assigned to deliver your order. They are not permitted to use this data for any other purpose.
Payment processors
For digital payments, order amount and transaction reference are shared with our payment gateway. We do not share your full payment credentials.
No data sales
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes.
4. Data Retention
Active accounts
We retain your account and order data for as long as your account is active, and for 5 years thereafter for legal and accounting purposes.
Account deletion
You may request account deletion by contacting our support team. Upon deletion, your personal data is removed from our active databases within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
5. Cookies

Managing cookies
You can clear cookies and local storage data from your browser settings at any time. Clearing session cookies will log you out of your account.
6. Your Rights
Access and correction
