Khoji

Privacy

Thank you for using Khoji!

Our mission is to bring nepali fashion brands to everyone and inspire them to create a fashion they love. To do that, we show you personalised content and ads we think you`ll be interested in based on information we collect from you . We only use that information where we have a proper legal basis for doing so. We wrote this policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it and what choices you have about it. Because we`re an internet company, some of the concepts below are a little technical, but we’ve tried our best to explain things in a simple and clear way. We welcome your questions and comments on this policy.

We collect information in a few different ways

1. When you give it to us or give us permission to obtain it
When you sign up for or use Khoji you voluntarily share certain information including your name, email address, phone number, photos, favourite , comments, and any other information you give us. You can also choose to share your precise location using your device settings or through photos. We will still use your IP address, which is used to approximate your location, even if you don't choose to share your precise location. You will also have the option to share other information about yourself such as your gender, age and preferred language.
If you connect your Facebook, Google or other third-party accounts to Khoji, we use information from those accounts (such as your friends or contacts) to improve your experience. This is dependent on the privacy policies or settings for those accounts.

When you use a website, mobile application or other internet service, certain internet and electronic network activity information gets created and logged automatically. Here are some of the types of information we collect:

● Log data. When you use Khoji, our servers record information (“log data”), including information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit a website, or that your mobile app automatically sends when you’re using it. This log data includes your Internet Protocol address (which we use to infer your approximate location), the address of and activity on websites you visit that incorporate Khoji features (like the “Save” button—more details below), searches, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used Khoji, cookie data and device data.
● Cookie data. We also use “cookies” (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your Khoji account or your browser) or similar technologies to get log data. When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we use session cookies (that last until you close your browser) or persistent cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them).
● Device information. In addition to log data, we collect information about the device you’re using Khoji on, including the type of device, operating system, settings, unique device identifiers and crash data that helps us understand when something breaks.
● Clickstream data and inferences When you’re on Khoji, we use your activity—such as you click on, favourite you create, and any text that you add in a comment or description—along with information you provided when you first signed up and information from our partners and advertisers to make inferences about you and your preferences. For example, if you click of the clothes you like for example dresses , we may infer you are into dresses.
● Online advertisers or third parties share information with us to measure, report on or improve the performance of ads on Khoji, or to figure out what kinds of ads to show you on or off of Khoji. This includes information about your visits to an advertiser's site or purchases you made from them, or information about your interests from a third-party service, which we might use to help show you ads.
