3. Third Parties & Affiliates

3.1 Amazon Associates / Affiliate Links

Village Tea Corner participates in the Amazon Associates Program. This means we include affiliate links to Amazon.in (and/or Amazon global stores). When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we believe provide value.

3.2 Analytics & Advertising Partners

We use third-party services such as Google Analytics and similar services to analyze traffic and improve the site. These services may collect information about your use of the site (including IP address) and use cookies. We do not control these third-party practices—please review their privacy policies for details.

3.3 Other Third-Party Services

We may use other trusted third-party services for hosting, email delivery, and performance monitoring. These providers process information on our behalf under contract and are obligated to protect your data.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (Where Applicable)

If you are located in regions with data protection laws (for example, the European Economic Area), our legal bases for processing include:

  • Your consent (e.g., subscribing to newsletters)
  • Performance of a contract (providing services you request)
  • Legitimate interests (analytics, fraud prevention)
  • Legal compliance (when required)

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Usage data and analytics may be kept longer in anonymized or aggregated form.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure—so while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
