Privacy Policy

At LedValueMart.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit or use our website, browse our LED lighting products, contact us, or place an order through our customer service team via WhatsApp.

By using our website or contacting us to purchase our products, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. About Our Store

LedValueMart.com is an online LED lighting product store serving customers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other GCC countries.

Our Shopify website primarily functions as a product catalogue and customer enquiry platform.

We do not currently complete purchases directly through the Shopify checkout on our website. Customers interested in purchasing products are directed to WhatsApp, where our team communicates with the customer, confirms product requirements, provides pricing and shipping information, and assists with completing the order.

Depending on the order and payment method, additional information may be collected during the order process.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Full name.

  • Mobile/WhatsApp number.

  • Email address.

  • Delivery address.

  • Billing information, where applicable.

  • Company name and business details, where applicable.

  • Product requirements and preferences.

  • Order details.

  • Quantity and specifications of products requested.

  • Communication and enquiry history.

  • Information you provide through WhatsApp.

  • Any photographs, documents, or other information you voluntarily send to us.

We may also collect technical information automatically when you visit our website.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you browse our website, certain information may be collected automatically, including:

  • General location information.

  • Pages viewed.

  • Time spent on pages.

  • Referring website or source.

  • Date and time of visits.

  • Website interaction information.

  • Cookies and similar technologies.

This information is generally used to improve website performance, security, functionality, and user experience.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use your personal information to:

  • Respond to product enquiries.

  • Communicate with you through WhatsApp, telephone, email, or other communication channels.

  • Process and manage orders.

  • Confirm product availability, specifications, pricing, and quantities.

5. WhatsApp Communications

Because orders are handled through WhatsApp, information that you provide to us through WhatsApp may include your:

  • Name.

  • Mobile number.

  • Delivery address.

  • Product requirements.

  • Order information.

  • Payment or transaction information, where voluntarily provided.

  • Questions, messages, photographs, documents, and other communications.

Our team may use this information to communicate with you, confirm your order, arrange delivery, provide customer support, and handle after-sales requests.

WhatsApp is operated by Meta Platforms, Inc. and its affiliated entities. Your use of WhatsApp is also subject to WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policies.

We recommend that you avoid sending unnecessary sensitive personal information through WhatsApp.

6. How Customers Are Directed to WhatsApp

Our website may contain buttons, links, or other features that allow customers to contact our team through WhatsApp.

When you select a WhatsApp contact option, you will be redirected to WhatsApp or the WhatsApp application.

Once you leave our website and interact with WhatsApp, information may be processed by WhatsApp/Meta in accordance with their applicable policies.

We do not control how WhatsApp independently processes information on its platform.

7. Shopify

Our website is hosted and operated using Shopify.

Shopify may process certain information relating to visitors and website usage in order to provide hosting, security, analytics, technical functionality, and other services necessary for operating the website.

Although customers are currently directed to WhatsApp for order communication rather than completing purchases through Shopify checkout, Shopify may still process technical or website-related information when you visit and use our store.

Shopify's own privacy practices and policies may also apply to information processed by Shopify.

8. Payment Information

Since orders are handled by our team through WhatsApp, payment information may be collected or processed separately from the Shopify website depending on the payment method selected.

Where payment is made through a third-party payment provider, bank, payment gateway, card processor, or other financial institution, your payment information may be processed directly by that provider.

We do not request unnecessary card, banking, PIN, password, or authentication information through WhatsApp.

Customers should never send passwords, card PINs, OTPs, or other authentication credentials to our team.

9. Delivery and Shipping Information

To deliver your order, we may collect and share necessary information such as:

  • Customer name.

  • Phone/WhatsApp number.

  • Delivery address.

  • Order details.

  • Package information.

This information may be shared with courier companies, logistics providers, delivery partners, or other service providers involved in fulfilling your order.

Only information reasonably necessary for delivery and order fulfilment should be shared.

10. Information Shared With Third Parties

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business, including:

  • Shopify and website service providers.

  • WhatsApp/Meta, when you communicate with us through WhatsApp.

  • Logistics providers.

  • Payment processors and financial institutions.

  • IT and technology service providers.

  • Website analytics and marketing service providers.

  • Professional advisers, where necessary.

We do not intend to sell your personal information to third parties.
