- Sign-in activity: we may record when you last signed in.

Shopping and order data
When you use India Kart, we may collect and store information related to your shopping activity, including:
- Items in your cart and wishlist
- Order history, including items, quantities, prices, and order status
- Pickup or delivery address and contact phone number associated with an order
- Notes you add at checkout
We use this data to fulfil orders, show your order history, and improve the shopping experience.
Location preference
You can choose a preferred store (for example Torres De Heredia or Escazu) so we show stock and products for that location. Your selected store may be saved in your browser (local storage) so it persists across visits. We use this preference to display relevant catalog and availability information.
Communications
If you contact us by email or WhatsApp, we use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry and, where relevant, to help with orders or account issues. Do not send sensitive payment card details over WhatsApp or email.
Sessions and device data
When you are signed in, we issue a session that lets you stay authenticated until it expires or you sign out. To secure and troubleshoot access, we may store session-related records that can include things like session expiry, and optionally IP address and browser user-agent associated with the session.
Our app may store session tokens or related data in your browser (for example local storage) so you remain signed in across visits according to your settings.
How we use information
We use the information above to provide and operate the service (authentication, authorization, shopping, ordering, customer and staff features), to maintain security, and to comply with applicable obligations.

Security
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect your information. Sign-in and personal data should be transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
