3. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

When you submit inquiries via our Contact form, report an ingredient SKU discrepancy, or communicate with our support desk, we collect your name, email address, and message content.

B. Quick Commerce & Swiggy Instamart Session Tokens

When you authenticate via Swiggy Instamart 1-click cart creation, your session tokens and delivery address ID are utilized strictly to query catalog items and assemble your grocery basket. Shopvora does not store your payment credentials, credit card details, or UPI PINs. All financial transactions take place securely on Swiggy's native payment gateways.

C. Technical & Diagnostic Logs

Like most modern web services, our servers automatically record standard HTTP request data, including IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, referring URL, recipe queries, and timestamps.

4. How We Use Your Data

We process collected data exclusively to:

  • Deliver accurate metric ingredient calculations and cost-per-plate estimates for recipes.
  • Resolve ingredients into live retail SKUs for Swiggy Instamart cart building.
  • Improve algorithmic recipe search accuracy, typo tolerance, and dietary filtering.
  • Diagnose technical bugs, server latency, and security vulnerabilities.
  • Respond to user feedback and customer support inquiries within our 24–48 hour SLA.

5. Data Storage, Retention & Security

Shopvora employs enterprise-grade transport security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS encryption) for all data in transit. Client-side preferences (such as selected dietary preferences or recent ingredient searches) are retained in local browser storage (`localStorage`) and can be cleared by the user at any time.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or contact details to third-party data brokers under any circumstances.
