Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how MaheDeluxe (the “Platform”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you browse, register, buy, sell, request quotes (RFQs), place orders, or otherwise interact with our B2B marketplace.
1) Who we are
MaheDeluxe operates a multi-vendor B2B marketplace that connects buyers with suppliers for bulk sourcing, custom orders, and RFQ workflows. Depending on your activity, MaheDeluxe may act as a “controller” (deciding how and why information is processed) and/or a “processor” (processing information on behalf of business users).
2) Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, information collected automatically when you use the Platform, and information from third parties (where permitted).
Account & profile
- Name, email, phone number, password (hashed)
- Company details and business profile (buyer/seller)
- Addresses and contact preferences
Orders, RFQs & messages
- RFQs, quotes, negotiations, and custom order details
- Order history, invoices, and delivery information
- Messages and files you share with other users
Verification & documents
- Identity/business verification information (where required)
- Buyer/seller compliance documents you upload
- Fraud-prevention and platform integrity signals
Device & usage
- IP address, device identifiers, browser type
- Pages viewed, clicks, searches, and session data
- Approximate location (derived from IP, where enabled)
If you choose not to provide certain information, some features (such as account creation, RFQs, seller onboarding, or checkout) may be unavailable.
3) How we use your information
- Provide and maintain the Platform (accounts, listings, RFQs, orders, payments, and support)
- Match buyers and sellers, facilitate communications, and enable quotations and negotiations
- Process transactions and improve trust & safety (fraud detection, dispute handling, abuse prevention)
- Personalize your experience (e.g., recommendations and relevant content)
- Analytics and product improvement (performance monitoring and debugging)
- Send service messages (security alerts, confirmations) and, where allowed, marketing communications
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies
6) Data retention
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Platform and for legitimate business purposes such as auditing, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and compliance. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it is processed.
7) Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8) Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent (where applicable). You can also update certain information in your account settings.
To request help with privacy-related matters, use the Platform’s support/help channel and include enough detail for us to verify your request.
9) International transfers
Because we operate globally, your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. When we transfer information internationally, we take steps intended to ensure an appropriate level of protection consistent with applicable laws.
10) Children’s privacy
The Platform is intended for business users and is not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us through the Platform support channel.
11) Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above indicates when changes were made. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice within the Platform.
12) Contact us
For questions about privacy, data access requests, or this policy, contact us via the Platform’s Help/Support experience.
Note: This page is a general policy template tailored for a B2B marketplace. You may want to review it with legal counsel and adjust details (such as your company name, address, contact email, and applicable regional disclosures).
