1. Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how [Insert legal entity name] handles personal information when you use Shomorthok as a buyer, creator, visitor, or admin user.
Replace the bracketed business details before launch and adapt the final version to your live vendors, retention periods, and legal obligations.

- Commerce records such as selected package, creator relationship, order status, subscription status, and refund activity.
- Usage and security records such as download events, support interactions, and technical logs needed to protect the platform and investigate abuse.

4. How we share information
We do not sell personal information through this placeholder policy. We may share information with vendors and partners only as needed to run the platform or meet legal requirements.

- Payment and fraud-prevention providers involved in checkout and refund handling.
- Professional advisers, regulators, courts, or law enforcement when legally required or reasonably necessary to protect rights and safety.

5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep sessions working, support sign-in flows, protect the service, and remember basic preferences.
See the Cookies Policy for more detail about what is currently used and what must be updated if analytics or advertising tools are added later.
6. Data retention
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy legal obligations.
Before launch, define concrete retention periods for accounts, transaction data, application records, and operational logs instead of relying on this placeholder wording.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These may include access controls, signed download links, role checks, and security monitoring.
No system is perfectly secure, so you should also protect your account credentials and notify support if you suspect unauthorized access.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, object to, or limit certain uses of your personal information.
Privacy requests and complaints should be directed to [Insert support email address]. Add your actual response workflow, identity verification process, and statutory timelines before launch.
9. International transfers and policy updates
Your information may be processed in countries other than the one where you live if our service providers or infrastructure operate there. Update this section with the actual transfer approach used in production.
We may update this policy from time to time. The live policy should show the effective date as [Insert effective date].
