Does Karuna store my information?
Your right to privacy while shopping with us is one of our biggest priorities. In general, you can browse the Website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. While you can browse some sections of our site without being a registered member, certain activities (such as placing an order) do require registration. If you do give us the pleasure of your business, we only ask for the most necessary information that is required for us to complete your order or to contact you regarding its status. Karuna only stores information that is uploaded by you during the registration process. The information we collect includes your name, phone number, email address, shipping address and billing address. Apart from the Karuna team and the bank payment gateway, this information is only shared with our associated courier partner that will be delivering your ordered items.

Online Payment Gateway
In order to facilitate the payment for your order and ensure security of the highest level, we have tied up with a reputed online payment gateway. Please be assured that Karuna does not store your credit / debit card or online bank account information. These details are directly entered by you into the associated online payment gateway, which uses the latest technologies, encryption and highest standards to ensure that your information is completely secure. We do not handle this sensitive data or store it in our database.
