Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://kidsmontessoriworld.in. We are dedicated to selling high-quality Montessori learning materials and respect your privacy.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

More importantly, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your:

  • Name
  • Billing Address
  • Shipping Address
  • Payment Information (e.g., credit card numbers, although these are typically processed securely by a third-party gateway, as noted below)
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number

We refer to this automatically-collected device information as “Device Information” and the purchase information as “Order Information.” Collectively, we refer to both as “Personal Information.”

Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above.

  • Service Providers: We share your information with third-party service providers to perform services on our behalf, such as:
    • Payment Processors (to process payments securely).
    • Shipping/Logistics Providers (to deliver your order).
    • Marketing Platforms (to manage email and advertising campaigns).
    • Web Analytics Providers (e.g., Google Analytics, to help us understand how our customers use the Site).
  • Legal Compliance: We may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the Order Information we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations).

Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

  • Communicate with you.
  • Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud.
  • Provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, in line with the preferences you have shared with us.

We use the Device Information to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

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 will last for one year.

E-commerce Specific Cookies:

When you log in, we will also set up 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 will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you add items to your shopping cart, we use cookies to track the contents of your cart during your session. This cookie contains no personal data and is essential for the functionality of the online store.

If you visit our login page, we will 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.

Embedded 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.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

Order Information: We will maintain your Order Information for our records as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless and until you ask us to delete this information or as required by law (e.g., tax and accounting records).

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

User Accounts: For users that register on our website (if any), we also 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.

What 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 (such as order history).

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Order Information is processed and stored by our e-commerce platform and related service providers (shipping, payment gateway) and may be transferred to different locations to facilitate order fulfillment.
