BARKOD.IN PRIVACY PRINCIPLES

We aim to collect information that is relevant to operating the BARKOD.IN service and to use it for clearly defined business, security, transaction and product-verification purposes.

01 — INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you create or use a BARKOD.IN account, we may collect information such as your name, email address, WhatsApp or phone number, company details, account credentials, order information and product information submitted by you.

When you purchase a barcode package, transaction-related information may also be processed so that your order, payment status and barcode entitlement can be managed.

Product information submitted during registration may include product name, brand, category, MRP, batch number, product description, manufacturer information, website, marketplace availability and product images.

02 — HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use account information to create and maintain your BARKOD.IN account.

We use order and payment information to process purchases, maintain barcode inventory and provide access to purchased services.

Product information is used to create and maintain your registered product record and to provide barcode verification functionality.

We may also use information to provide customer support, investigate technical problems, maintain security, prevent misuse and improve the BARKOD.IN service.

03 — BARCODE & PRODUCT INFORMATION

When you register a product with a BARKOD.IN barcode, the information necessary for product verification may be displayed through the public verification system.

This may include the barcode number, BARKOD Serial, product name, brand, category, product description and other information that you choose to provide for verification.

Do not submit confidential, private or sensitive information into a product field that is intended for public product verification.

04 — PAYMENT INFORMATION

Payments made through BARKOD.IN may be processed through third-party payment providers.

BARKOD.IN may receive transaction-related information such as payment status, payment identifiers, order identifiers and transaction amounts.

Payment card, banking or other sensitive payment credentials are handled by the applicable payment provider according to its own security and privacy practices.

05 — DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect account, order and product information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. Users should maintain the confidentiality of their account credentials and immediately contact support if they believe their account has been compromised.

06 — DATA RETENTION

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain account and transaction records, support barcode and product history, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or comply with applicable legal obligations.

Some records may need to remain available even after an account or product is no longer actively used because they are associated with historical transactions or barcode allocation records.

07 — THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

BARKOD.IN may use third-party infrastructure and service providers for functions such as authentication, database infrastructure, payment processing, file storage, hosting and technical operations.

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their respective services and may have their own terms and privacy policies.

08 — COOKIES & TECHNICAL DATA

BARKOD.IN may use necessary browser storage, cookies or similar technical mechanisms to maintain sessions, authentication and website functionality.

Technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, error information and usage-related data may be processed where necessary for security, diagnostics and service operation.

09 — YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You are responsible for ensuring that the information you submit to BARKOD.IN is accurate and that you have the right to provide any product information, images, trademarks or other materials submitted through your account.

You should not upload personal, confidential or sensitive information into publicly visible product fields.

10 — ACCOUNT & DATA REQUESTS

If you have questions about your account information, product information or privacy-related requests, you can contact BARKOD.IN through the Support page.

Some information may be retained where necessary for legitimate operational, security, transaction-history or legal purposes.

11 — POLICY UPDATES

BARKOD.IN may update this Privacy Policy when its services, technology, legal requirements or operational practices change.

The updated version will be published on this page. Continued use of the service after an update may constitute acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT PLACE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN PUBLIC PRODUCT FIELDS.

Product information may be made available through BARKOD.IN's public verification system. Only provide information that you are comfortable making available for product verification.
