5. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted third parties who help us run our business, and only to the extent necessary:
- E-commerce platform (Shopify Inc.): the Site is built on Shopify, which hosts the storefront, processes orders, stores your customer account and order data on its secured infrastructure, and handles sign-in authentication via email one-time code.

- Shipping & logistics partners: to deliver your order.
- Email & communication tools (e.g., transactional email providers): to send order confirmations and updates.

- Government authorities: only when required by law, court order, or to enforce our rights.
All third parties are required to handle your data in line with applicable laws.

We will never ask for OTPs, passwords, or bank details outside the Site or our official channels (care@byplatonic.com and WhatsApp). If you receive suspicious communication claiming to be from Platonic, don’t respond. Write to care@byplatonic.com to verify, or report it to the Indian Cyber Crime portal at cybercrime.gov.in.

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your cart, and understand site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some Site features may not work correctly if you do.
We don’t engage in third-party behavioural advertising beyond standard analytics. We honour browser “Do Not Track” signals where technically supported.
8. Data retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Order records are typically retained for a minimum of 8 years to meet Indian tax and accounting requirements.

10. Data security
We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), PCI-compliant payment processing, restricted internal access, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss.
11. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
