Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyze platform performance. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser.

We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until deleted) to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies help us keep track of items in your shopping cart, recognize you on subsequent visits, and understand which parts of our website are most popular.

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. However, please be aware that disabling cookies may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website's features, and certain functionalities (such as the shopping cart and checkout process) may not work correctly.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We only share your data with trusted third-party service providers and partners who perform essential services on our behalf, under strict confidentiality agreements. Your data may be shared with:

• Payment Gateways and Financial Institutions: To securely process your payments and prevent fraudulent transactions.

8. Data Security Measures

Massmed Private Limited implements robust technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. We utilize industry-standard encryption protocols (such as Secure Socket Layer or SSL technology) for transmitting sensitive information during checkout and payment processes.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe, such as choosing a strong password, keeping your account credentials confidential, and logging out of your account after using a shared device.

• We retain financial and transactional records for the duration required to comply with statutory tax, accounting, and legal reporting obligations under Indian corporate and tax laws.

• Once the retention period expires or the purpose for processing is fulfilled, we will securely delete, destroy, or anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you.
