Comment cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
Login cookies
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we also set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. It includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Preference cookies
This site may store cookies to remember small choices (such as expanded/collapsed panels). We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
6Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
7How we use your information
We use your information to confirm, source and deliver orders; to communicate with you on WhatsApp, phone or email; to respond to enquiries from the contact form; to keep records required by law and for accounting; to keep the site secure and working; and to improve our service.
We process data on our legitimate business interest in running the service, or with your consent where required. We never sell your data.
8Who we share your data with
We share personal information only where needed to run the service:
- Delivery riders and partners — delivery address and phone contact;
- Local shops — order items and delivery details, to prepare your order;
- Platform and hosting providers — WordPress hosting, email and tools, bound by confidentiality;
- Legal authorities — where required by Indian law or a court order.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
9How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Chat / order records | Up to 6 months after the order |
| Financial / accounting records | As required by Indian tax law (usually 8 years) |
| Contact-form messages | Until resolved, then deleted within 30 days |
10What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise any right, email info@nearzoconnect.com with your name and phone/WhatsApp number. We will respond within 30 days, in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
11Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (Akismet). WhatsApp messages are transmitted under WhatsApp’s own privacy protections, and our chats are used only to serve your orders.
12Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data — access limits, secure hosting, HTTPS on this website and minimal data collection. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; where data is transmitted (e.g. over WhatsApp), we rely on the provider’s protections alongside our own safeguards.
13Changes & contact
We may update this policy from time to time; the “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the site and service after changes means you accept the updated policy. This policy is accompanied by our Terms & Conditions.
