| Cash on Delivery | Courier partner | No digital financial data; cash collected at point of delivery |
Data Sharing & Third Parties
We share your personal data only when it is strictly necessary to operate our services. We do not sell your data. Sharing occurs only with the following trusted parties:
- Courier & Logistics Partners: Your name, phone number, and delivery address are shared with our courier providers solely for order delivery purposes
- Payment Service Providers: Transaction data is shared with SSLCommerz and bKash to process payments — they are bound by their own privacy and security policies
- Gadgetz Official Channels: Warranty serial number data may be shared for product authenticity verification when required
- Analytics Tools: Anonymised, aggregated website usage data may be processed by analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us improve the site — this data does not identify you individually
- Legal & Regulatory Authorities: We will disclose information when required by law, court order, or a legitimate government request under the laws of Bangladesh
All third parties we engage are required to handle your data confidentially and are not permitted to use it for any purpose beyond what is necessary to provide the service.
