Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2023
​
Baanda, Inc (“Baanda”, “we” or “us”) provides software programs and services to independent merchants to allow them to host online storefronts and market to their customers (collectively, “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains how Baanda collects, uses, and discloses information from merchants when they visit our websites, register for the Services, or otherwise interact with us.
​
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
​
This privacy policy applies to the data we collect from and about individuals who set up accounts with us, whom we refer to as “merchants,” as well as individuals who visit our website or communicate with us only. Please note that all online stores hosted or supported by Baanda, including those linked from Baanda.com, are independently operated by the merchants providing them. Baanda does not own or operate any merchant stores and is not responsible for the privacy practices of its merchants. If you visit any storefronts provided by Baanda merchants, we encourage you to review and become familiar with their privacy policies and to direct any questions or concerns you have about their data practices to the merchant you are visiting.
