Scope
This Policy applies only to personal data collected through this Website and through direct enquiries made to us via the Website, WhatsApp, telephone or email. It does not apply to any third-party website or service we may link to, which are governed by their own privacy policies.
What personal data we collect
We collect only the data needed to respond to you and to operate the Website:
(a) Information you give us directly: when you submit an enquiry form, call, email or message us on WhatsApp, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, and the details of your enquiry or message.
(b) Information collected automatically: like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies and through analytics tools (see Section 6).
(c) Sensitive data & payments: We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data through this Website, and we ask that you do not send us such data. We do not operate online payments or user accounts on this Website.
How we use your data (purposes)
We use personal data only for the following purposes:
- to respond to your enquiries and provide quotations, product information and support;
- to process and fulfil orders or dealership/bulk requests you make;
- to operate, maintain, secure and improve the Website;
- to understand how the Website is used, through analytics;
- to comply with applicable law and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not use your data for any purpose incompatible with the above without your consent.
Legal basis and consent
We process your personal data on the basis of your consent, which you provide when you voluntarily submit an enquiry or contact us, and/or for legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at enquiries@silverstepss.com; withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing done before withdrawal, and may mean we can no longer respond to your enquiry.
Cookies and analytics
This Website uses cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google) via Google Tag Manager, to understand Website usage and improve our services. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, device and browser data, and browsing activity on our Website. This data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's own privacy policy. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's opt-out tools. Our Website honours recognised browser privacy signals where technically feasible. If we run advertising or remarketing in future, we will update this Policy accordingly.
Communications and WhatsApp consent
When you contact us by WhatsApp, telephone or by submitting an enquiry, you consent to us using the contact details you provide to respond to you about your enquiry, quotation or order. We do not send you marketing or promotional messages without your consent, and we do not share your phone number or contact details with third parties for their own marketing purposes. You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time by replying “STOP” on WhatsApp or emailing enquiries@silverstepss.com.
How we share your data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only:
- with trusted service providers who help us operate the Website and our business (for example, website hosting, analytics such as Google, and communication tools such as WhatsApp), who are permitted to use it only to provide those services;
- where required by law, regulation, legal process, or a lawful government request;
- to protect the rights, safety or property of Silver Steps, our customers or others;
- in connection with a business transfer (such as a merger or sale), subject to this Policy.
We do not rent or sell your personal data to anyone. Some of our service providers (such as Google) may process data on servers located outside India; where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your data continues to be protected in line with applicable law.
When you contact us via WhatsApp or telephone, those communications are also handled by the relevant third-party providers (for example, Meta / your telecom operator) under their own terms and privacy policies.
Third-party links
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services (including social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain business records, and to comply with legal obligations. When data is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You share information with us at your own risk, and are responsible for keeping your own devices and communications secure. You are responsible for ensuring that any information you provide to us is accurate and that you are entitled to share it. If you provide us with another person's personal data, you confirm you have their permission to do so.
