Welcome to the We are Geekin’ Marketplace (https://marketplace.wearegeek.in). Your privacy is incredibly important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our platform to buy or sell items.

When you use our Marketplace, we collect the following types of information:
Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and account password.
Profile & Order Information: To process transactions, we collect your shipping address, billing address, and phone number.
Financial Information: We use Peach Payments as our secure payment gateway. We are Geekin’ does not collect, store, or have access to your full credit card numbers or bank details. All payment processing is handled securely by Peach Payments.
Automated Data (Cookies): We automatically collect basic technical data when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, and device information. We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and track your shopping cart.
To make it easier for you to join the Marketplace, we offer the ability to register and log in using third-party services, specifically Google and Facebook.
What Data We Collect: When you choose to link your Google or Facebook account, we receive specific profile information from them. This strictly includes your first name, last name, email address, and profile picture. We do not request, nor do we receive, access to your private messages, friends lists, or passwords on those platforms.
How We Use This Data: We use this information solely to create your We are Geekin’ account, verify your identity, and populate your basic profile details to save you time.
Data Deletion & Revocation: This data is stored securely in our database for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account or revoke our access to your Google/Facebook data, you can do so at any time by navigating to your Account Settings and selecting “Delete Account,” or by emailing us directly. You can also sever the connection directly from your Google or Facebook account security settings.
Third-Party Privacy Practices: Please be aware that Google and Facebook have their own privacy policies. When you use their login buttons, they may track your login activity. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
We use your personal data to:
Create and manage your Marketplace account.
Facilitate transactions between Buyers and Sellers.
Send you transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping updates, and refund notices).
Provide customer support and mediate disputes.
Send you marketing communications (only if you have opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time).
Because We are Geekin’ operates as a multi-vendor marketplace, sharing certain information is necessary to fulfill your orders:
Sharing with Sellers (Creators): When you buy an item, we share your Name, Shipping Address, and Phone Number with the specific Seller you purchased from so they can package and ship your item. Sellers are strictly prohibited from using this information for anything other than fulfilling your specific order.
Sharing with Service Providers: We share necessary data with trusted third parties who help us run our platform, such as our web hosting provider and our payment processor (Peach Payments).
Legal Compliance: We will not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketing companies. We will only share your data with law enforcement or government authorities (like the MRA) if legally required to do so.
We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your transaction data to comply with Mauritian tax laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Under the Mauritius Data Protection Act, you have the right to:
Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Rectify: Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erase (Right to be Forgotten): Request that we delete your personal data and close your account.
Withdraw Consent: If you have opted into our newsletter, you can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking “Unsubscribe.”
We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, including SSL encryption for all data transfers. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
