Privacy policy
We are family, And you can always rely on family
Phynart’s Privacy Policy describes how Phynart collects, uses, and shares your personal data.
Updated: September 18, 2023
In addition to this Privacy Policy, we provide data and privacy information embedded in our products and certain features that ask to use your personal data.
You will be given an opportunity to review this product-specific information before using these features. You can also view this information at any time, either in Settings related to those features and/or online at www.phynart.com.
You can familiarize yourself with our privacy practices, accessible via the headings below, and contact us if you have questions.
What Is Personal Data at Phynart?
At Phynart, we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights — and that those fundamental rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual or that is linked or linkable to them by Phynart as “personal data,” no matter where the individual lives. This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly identify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — such as the serial number of your device — is personal data. Aggregated data is considered non-personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers how Phynart ("Phynart") handles personal data whether you interact with us on our websites, through Phynart Application, or in person (including by phone or when visiting our retail stores). Phynart’s Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them.
Your Privacy Rights at Phynart
At Phynart, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data. We have provided these rights to our global customer base and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated in a discriminatory way nor to receive a lesser degree of service from Phynart. Where you are requested to consent to the processing of your personal data by Phynart, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and Phynart is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with law. We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you request deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns. Other reasons your privacy request may be denied are if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, or would be extremely impractical.
Personal Data Phynart Collects from You

If you have questions about the legal basis, you can contact support at support@phynart.com.
Power Our Services: Phynart collects personal data required to deliver and enhance our services. This may include data gathered for improving our offerings, internal purposes such as audits, data analysis, or troubleshooting.

From time to time, we may use your personal data to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with Phynart, you may not opt out of receiving these important notices.
Personal Data Used for Personalization: If you choose to personalize your services or communications where such options are available, Phynart will use information that we collect so that we can offer you those personalized services or communications.

Phynart does not use algorithms or profiling to make any decision that would significantly affect you without the opportunity for human review. Phynart also does not use or disclose sensitive personal data for any purposes that would require a user to exercise a right to limit processing according to Indian Law.
Phynart retains personal data only for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including as described in this Privacy Policy or in our service-specific privacy notices, or as required by law. We will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and our service-specific privacy summaries. When assessing retention periods, we first carefully examine whether it is necessary to retain the personal data collected and, if retention is required, work to retain the personal data for the shortest possible period permissible under the law. Users can ask us to delete their data by writing a mail to support@phynart.com, and we shall delete all the data in 10 working days.
