Privacy Policy
How market.com.pk collects, uses, and protects the information of buyers and vendors across our marketplace.
1Information We Collect
When you browse, register, or place an order on market.com.pk, we collect information that helps us run the marketplace and serve you better:
- Account details: name, phone number, email address, and delivery address.
- Order details: items purchased, order value, payment method (including Cash on Delivery), and delivery instructions.
- Vendor details: business name, CNIC/NTN (where required), store address, and bank or mobile wallet account used for payouts.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools.
2How We Use Your Information
- Processing and delivering your orders, including COD confirmation calls/SMS.
- Connecting buyers with the correct vendor for order fulfilment and after-sales support.
- Calculating delivery charges and coordinating with our courier partners.
- Preventing fraud, fake orders, and abuse of our Cash on Delivery system.
- Sending order updates, promotional offers, and service announcements (you can opt out of marketing messages at any time).
- Improving site performance, product recommendations, and customer support.
3Vendor & Seller Data
market.com.pk is a multi-vendor marketplace. Vendors manage their own store dashboard and are responsible for the accuracy of the product data, pricing, and stock they upload.
Vendor payout details (bank account or mobile wallet number) are used solely to process commission settlements and are not shared with other vendors or third parties.
4Payments & Cash on Delivery Data
For COD orders, we record the order value, delivery address, and confirmation status to coordinate collection with our courier partner. For digital wallet payments (EasyPaisa, JazzCash) or card payments, transactions are processed through the payment gateway's secure servers — market.com.pk does not store your full card number or wallet PIN.
5Shipping & Courier Data Sharing
To deliver your order, we share the minimum necessary details — name, phone number, and delivery address — with our logistics partners, including Leopards Courier, TRAX, and M&P, and with the vendor fulfilling your order. These partners are contractually required to use this data only for delivery and returns handling.
6Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your cart, understand which products and categories are popular, and measure the performance of our promotions and flash sales. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some marketplace features (like your cart) may not work correctly without them.
7Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- The vendor fulfilling your specific order.
- Courier and logistics partners handling delivery and returns.
- Payment gateways processing digital wallet or card transactions.
- Analytics and hosting providers who help us operate the site securely.
- Law enforcement or regulators, where required by Pakistani law.
8Data Security
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards — including secure server configuration, restricted admin access, and encrypted payment processing — to protect your data. No online platform can guarantee absolute security, so we encourage you to use a strong password and avoid sharing your account details.
9Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data held by market.com.pk, and you may close your account at any time. Vendors may request removal of their store data subject to settlement of any pending orders or payouts. Contact us using the details below to exercise these rights.
10Children's Privacy
market.com.pk is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
11Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our marketplace grows and regulations evolve. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page will always reflect the latest revision. Continued use of market.com.pk after changes means you accept the updated policy.
