Last updated: August 2026

Marina Optics (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit marinaoptics.com or purchase from us. By using our site, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you place an order, create an account, or contact us, we may collect:

• Name, email address, phone number, and delivery address

• Payment details (processed securely by Razorpay — we never store card numbers)

• Prescription files uploaded during checkout (stored securely on AWS S3)

• Order history and product preferences

• Browser/device information and IP address for security and analytics

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only to:

• Process and fulfil your orders

• Send order confirmations and shipping updates via WhatsApp or email

• Respond to customer support queries

• Improve our website and product selection

• Comply with legal obligations under Indian law

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Payment Processing

All online payments are processed by Razorpay (razorpay.com), a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. Marina Optics does not store credit/debit card numbers or UPI credentials. Razorpay's own privacy policy governs data collected during payment.

4. Prescription Data

Prescription files you upload during checkout are stored on AWS S3 (Amazon Web Services) in a private, access-controlled bucket. These files are accessible only to Marina Optics staff for the purpose of fulfilling your order. We do not share prescription data with any third party except as required to complete your order.

5. Shipping Partners

To deliver your order, we share your name, phone number, and delivery address with our shipping partner (Shiprocket / courier companies). This is strictly limited to what is needed for delivery.

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep items in your cart between visits

• Remember your login session

• Understand how visitors use the site (via anonymised analytics)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work correctly.

7. Data Retention

We retain your order and account information for as long as required to fulfil orders, handle returns, and comply with Indian tax and record-keeping laws. You may request deletion of your account data by contacting us on WhatsApp.

8. Your Rights

Under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and applicable Indian privacy rules, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you

• Correct inaccurate personal data

• Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via WhatsApp at +91 98412 55821.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption, restricted access controls, and secure cloud storage. No online system is 100% secure; if you have any concerns, contact us immediately.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

11. Changes to This Policy
