6. Data Security

nostringscouture uses generally accepted standards of technology and operational security — including pseudonymisation, encryption, access controls, and retention policies — to guard against loss, theft, tampering, misuse, alteration, unauthorised access, disclosure, proliferation, or destruction of Personal Data.

Despite these precautions, Users acknowledge that the internet cannot always be guaranteed to be entirely safe, and that data transmission over the internet carries inherent security risks. Use of nostringscouture is therefore at the User's own risk.

7. Third Party Disclosure

To the extent possible, nostringscouture will not intentionally disclose or transfer Personal Data to third parties (persons or entities that are not affiliates of nostringscouture) for their marketing purposes or otherwise, and will take reasonable steps to protect its confidentiality and security. However, there are certain instances in which nostringscouture may be required to disclose or share Personal Data with third parties, including:

Where disclosure is mandated or required by law, rules, or regulations;
To establish or exercise our rights, defend against a legal claim, or investigate, prevent, or act on possible illegal activity, suspected fraud, safety concerns, or policy violations;
To enforce any right or obligation under an agreement with the User, or to enforce an order, arbitral award, or other determination connected to the Services;
To detect and prevent identity theft, fraud, money laundering, abuse of Services, and other illegal acts;
To third parties as deemed appropriate by nostringscouture to perform or deliver its Services and contractual obligations;
To legal or professional advisors — including bankers, auditors, and insurers — bound by a legal, contractual, or professional duty of confidentiality;
To service providers acting as processors who provide technology, fraud prevention, or system administration support;
To data analytics and data acquisition engines;
To advertising and social media partners of nostringscouture;
In connection with a sale, transfer, merger, demerger, or reorganisation of nostringscouture's business or assets; and
With the User's consent.

nostringscouture may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. The presence of a link does not imply endorsement of the third-party site or its content. nostringscouture disclaims all liability regarding third-party policies and websites; clicking such links may allow third parties to collect or share your Personal Data, and you access these sites at your own risk. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit after leaving nostringscouture.

8. Storage of Personal Data

All information provided by the User is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored on secure, firewall-protected servers. Thereafter, the Personal Data is transferred and stored on a secure blockchain to further safeguard its confidentiality and security.

9. Transfer of Personal Data

While nostringscouture is based in India, we may transfer Personal Data to third parties located in countries other than India, or to the country from which you access the Services. Your Personal Data may therefore be subject to privacy laws different from those of your own country. In such cases, nostringscouture will transfer your Personal Data in accordance with applicable privacy laws, and your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and use of our Services constitutes consent to such transfer.

10. Data Retention and Data Deletion

Data Retention: We retain your Personal Data only for as long as necessary under applicable law and to provide our Services. We may also retain it for legitimate business purposes, including fulfilling contractual obligations, making data-driven business decisions, or satisfying legal, accounting, or regulatory reporting requirements.

To determine an appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, whether those purposes can be achieved by other means, and applicable legal requirements.

Data Deletion: Unless legally required to retain it, upon request we will delete your Personal Data or anonymize it so it is no longer identifiable to you as an individual.

Please note that anyone who sees content you provide may save it through screenshots, in-app functionality, or other capture methods, and digital information may in some cases be recoverable through forensic means or a device's temporary storage.

11. Time Limit to Respond

We aim to respond to all legitimate User requests within thirty (30) business days. Complex or multiple requests may take longer; in such cases, we will notify you within 30 days of receiving your request and keep you updated on its status.

12. Collection of Additional Information

If the scope of nostringscouture's Services changes, we may need to collect and store additional personal information beyond what is described in Clause 3. We will inform Users of any such additional collection, and Users must consent to it in order to continue availing the modified or amended Services.

13. Changes to Privacy Policy

By using nostringscouture, the User consents to the collection, use, and storage of Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy. nostringscouture reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy from time to time; changes will be reflected on the site along with the date from which they take effect. The date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised.

Where changes are material, we may notify you via your registered email address or a notification on nostringscouture, though we are not obligated to provide additional notice of every change. We encourage Users to check back regularly. Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
