Privacy Policy

How we responsibly collect, use, and protect your data.

1. Information We Collect

At BROTHERSCRICSSHOP, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We collect personal information (such as your name, email address, phone number, and ID proofs) solely to facilitate the rental transaction, manage deposits, and communicate with you about your booking.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used only to process your rental orders, issue refunds, and occasionally send you updates about new inventory if you have subscribed to our newsletter. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. Document Verification & Security

For inventory protection, a government ID is required at pickup. We securely verify your original ID. Any digital scans taken for high-value rentals are encrypted and stored only for the duration of the active rental period.

4. Data Retention Policy

Physical verification logs and local digital ID copies are purged 7 days after the equipment is returned and the security deposit is settled. Customer account data is retained for 24 months of inactivity before being archived.

5. Cookie Policy & Tracking

Our website uses essential session cookies to manage your rental cart and booking progress. We do not use third-party tracking pixels or sell your browsing behavior to advertisers. Your session data is cleared automatically after 24 hours of inactivity. For complete cookie details, please read our Cookie Policy.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our website and business:

  • Web Hosting & CDN: Our website is hosted on standard web servers located in India. We do not disclose specific CDN providers to protect infrastructure security.
  • Email Communication: We use email service providers to send booking confirmations, refund notifications, and support responses. These providers maintain strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Payment Processing: At this time, all payments are processed in-store at pickup (Cash/UPI). No online payment processors store your data on our behalf.
  • Analytics: We do NOT currently use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or other third-party analytics. Website usage is tracked only for essential functionality.
  • Advertising: We do NOT use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, or other third-party advertising cookies without your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

Important: If we ever integrate new third-party services, we will update this policy and request your consent before deploying any new tracking or analytics cookies.
