The BarangKali Privacy Policy includes the basics around what personal data from vendors, visitors, and customers your BarangKali Multivendor store may be collecting, storing and sharing, as well as who may have access to that data. Depending on what settings are enabled and which additional plugins are used, the specific information shared by your store will vary. We recommend consulting with a lawyer when deciding what information to disclose on your privacy policy.
We collect information about you during the checkout process on our store.

Note: you may want to further detail your cookie policy, and link to that section from here.
When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:
- Send you information about your account and order

- Improve our store offerings
- Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them
- If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.
We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for XXX years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.
We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.
Who on our team has access
Members of our team have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators of BarangKali Multivendor and Marketplace Owners/Store Managers can access:
- Order information like what was purchased, when it was purchased and where it should be sent/
- Customer information like your name, email address, and billing and shipping information.
BarangKali team members, such as, customer support representative, product developers, and marketing personnel have access to information to help fulfill orders, process refunds and support you.
What we share with others
We have certain integrations with third parties who help us provide seamless services with orders and other store services for you. For example – payment gateways to process and complete your orders or web analytics to make your store and shopping experience better.
Payments
We accept payments through Bank Transfer. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to Local Bank, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information.
Modules
BarangKali has premium modules that perform specific and special purpose tasks. Each of the modules collect additional information. Also third party extensions and integrations collect data that is applicable to the each of their individual privacy policy.
How users can obtain, view, or delete your data
If a user wants to export their data to view it or for some other purpose, admins or marketplace owners will be needing to send a request to that particular user via email.
If a user requests to delete their personal data, the admin of the marketplace has to follow the same process.
Sometime a user may ask you to erase the personal data. According to GDPR rules, it obligates the admin to do so no questions asked. So you can erase their personal data in the same way. Get to the Tools tab and click on erase personal data
Note: When a user wants the admins to erase his/her personal data, it removes all information that was obtained by the plugin in any form. Except with transactions, their details remain but all credentials or userID are nulled so that the information cannot be attributed to any individual. In other words, the user cannot be tracked with only order details.
