Privacy Policy


Last updated: 4 October 2026

The Coastal Bakes respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, why, and the choices you have.

1. What we collect

  • Account details: your name, email address, phone number and password (stored only as a one-way hash, never in readable form). If you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google.
  • Order details: what you ordered, your delivery name, address and phone number, and any message or note you add.
  • Chat messages: anything you send us through the chat on this site.
  • Location: only if you choose “use my location” or type a city, to show the nearest counter. We do not track your location in the background.
  • Technical data: basic information your browser sends (such as device type and pages visited) and a session cookie that keeps you signed in and your cart together.

2. How we use it

  • To take, bake, deliver and support your orders.
  • To confirm payments, issue refunds and keep the records the law requires us to keep.
  • To reply to your messages and let you know about the status of an order.
  • To keep the site secure and prevent fraud or misuse.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Payments

Online payments are handled by Razorpay, a payment gateway regulated in India. Your card, UPI or net-banking details are entered on Razorpay’s secure window and go to them directly — they never pass through or get stored on our servers. We receive only the result of the payment (paid or failed), a payment reference and the payment method type. Razorpay’s own privacy policy applies to the information you give them.

4. Who we share it with

Only with those who need it to serve you: our delivery partners (your name, address and phone number, so the cake reaches you), our payment gateway, and our website hosting provider. If you sign in with Google, Google processes that sign-in. We share information with authorities only where the law requires it.

5. How long we keep it

Account and chat information is kept while your account is active. Order and payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require, even if you close your account.

6. Cookies

We use only the cookies the site needs to work: one to keep you signed in and one to remember your cart. We do not use advertising cookies.

7. Your choices

You can see and update your name, phone number and language in your account, download a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your account from Your data (sign-in required). You can also contact us using the details below. We will act on a deletion request within a reasonable time, keeping only what we must keep by law.

8. Security

We protect your information with HTTPS, hashed passwords and restricted access. No online service can promise perfect security, so please use a strong password and keep it private.

9. Children

The site is meant for adults placing orders. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Your consent and rights

By creating an account or placing an order you consent to us collecting and using your information as described here, in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. You may withdraw consent, and ask to access, correct or erase your data, at any time by contacting us. Your information is used only for the purposes above.

11. Grievance Officer

For any privacy concern, write to the Grievance Officer at the email address below. We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within 15 days.

12. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of the page.
