Privacy Policy
Introduction
We value the trust you place in us and recognize the importance of secure transactions and information privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how Bigshot Designs Private Limited and its affiliates (collectively "Bigshot, we, our, us") collect, use, share, protect, or otherwise process your personal data through the Bigshot website https://www.bigshot.com. While you may be able to browse certain sections of the Platform without registering with us, please note we do not offer any product/service under this Platform outside India, and your personal data will primarily be stored and processed in India. By visiting this Platform, providing your information, or availing any product/service offered on the Platform, you expressly agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and the applicable service/product terms and conditions, and agree to be governed by the laws of India, including but not limited to the laws applicable to data protection and privacy. If you do not agree, please do not use or access our Platform.
Collection
We collect your personal data relating to your identity and demographics when you use our Platform, services, or otherwise interact with us during the course of our relationship. Some of the information that we may collect includes, but is not limited to, details provided during sign-up, registration, or use of our Platform, such as your name, date of birth, address, telephone/mobile number, email ID, and any information shared as proof of identity or address. Sensitive personal data may also be collected with your consent, such as your bank account details, credit or debit card information, other payment instrument details, or biometric data like facial features or physiological information (for enabling specific features on the Platform that enhance your shopping experience). All data collection is in accordance with applicable laws. We may also collect information such as your shopping behavior, preferences, call data records, device location, voice, browsing history, and other information you may provide to us from time to time. Our primary goal is to offer you a safe, efficient, smooth, and personalized experience. This allows us to provide services and features that best meet your needs and to customize our Platform, making your experience safer and easier. In general, you can browse the Platform without revealing any personal data about yourself. However, once you provide your personal data, you are no longer anonymous to us. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which are optional. You always have the choice not to provide information by opting out of certain services or features on the Platform. We may track your buying behavior, preferences, and other information you choose to share on the Platform. This helps us conduct research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve them. The information we collect is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis and may include the URL you just came from (whether on our Platform or not), the URL you visit next (whether on our Platform or not), your browser information, and your IP address. If you enroll in our loyalty program or participate in a third-party loyalty program offered by us, we will collect and store personal data such as your name, contact number, email address, communication address, date of birth, gender, zip code, lifestyle information, demographic details, and work details. This information may be provided by you to us or to a third-party business partner that operates platforms where you can earn and redeem loyalty points for purchasing goods and services. We will also collect information related to your transactions on the Platform and those third-party platforms. When third-party business partners collect your personal data directly, their privacy policies will apply. We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices, and we recommend that you review their privacy policies before disclosing any information. If you set up an account or transact with us, we may request additional information such as your billing address, other payment instrument details, or tracking information from cheques or money orders to enable services, process transactions, or issue refunds for canceled transactions. If you choose to post messages on our message boards, personalized messages, images, photos, gift card message boxes, chat rooms, or other message areas, or leave feedback/product reviews, or use voice commands to shop on the Platform, we will collect the information you provide. We may also use images you share. Please note that such posts will be in the public domain and can be read by others, so exercise caution when posting personal details, photos, or reviews. We retain this information as necessary to resolve disputes, provide customer support, conduct internal research, and troubleshoot problems, as permitted by law. If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send correspondence about your activities or posts on the Platform, we may collect this information in a file specific to you. While some sections of our Platform can be browsed without registering, certain activities (such as placing an order, consuming online content or services, or participating in events) require registration. We may use your contact information to send you offers based on your previous orders, preferences, or interests. If you receive an email or call from someone claiming to represent Bigshot, requesting personal data like debit/credit card PINs, net-banking, or mobile banking passwords, we urge you never to provide such information. Neither Bigshot nor our affiliate logistics partners will ever ask for such information. If you have already shared this information, please report it immediately to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Our Platform may contain links to other websites that may collect personal data about you. Bigshot is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these linked websites.
Security Precautions
To protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or misuse, we adopt reasonable security practices and procedures in line with international standards, specifically ISO/IEC 27001:2013, which is recognized as one of the highest information security standards. Whenever you access your account information, we provide the use of a secure server. However, the transmission of data over the internet is not entirely secure due to factors beyond our control. While we implement industry-standard security measures and continuously update our systems to protect your personal data from hacking or virus threats, by using the Platform, you acknowledge the inherent risks of data transmission over the internet and the World Wide Web, which cannot be fully guaranteed as secure. Users are responsible for safeguarding their login and password information for their accounts.
Choice/Opt-Out
We provide all users with the option to opt out of receiving non-essential (promotional, marketing-related) communications from us after setting up an account. If you no longer wish to receive promotional messages from us, you can unsubscribe by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email or by visiting our Help Center to manage your preferences and opt-out.

You have the option to opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting the “Opt out of Ads Personalization” settings in your device’s settings application.
