PRIVACY POLICY

Having said that, a Privacy Policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting the privacy of its users, and an explanation of the methods used to protect this information.

​

In the case of BookPagely, which is an online platform for buying and selling books, a Privacy Policy is especially important, as it involves customer information like names, email addresses, delivery addresses, and payment details.

​

Different jurisdictions (like India under the IT Act 2000, and global standards like GDPR) have different legal obligations regarding what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible for making sure you are complying with all relevant laws and regulations applicable to your business.
