Our website is intended for businesses: importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers and procurement teams.

2. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Quote and enquiry form: your name, company name, business email, phone number, country, the product or service you are interested in, estimated quantity, preferred contact method, how you heard about us and your message.
- Direct communications: anything you send us by email, phone, WhatsApp or LinkedIn, such as specifications, drawings, documents and commercial details.
- Commercial transactions: if we do business together, information needed to quote, contract, ship, invoice and receive payment, such as delivery addresses, consignee and notify-party details, and bank and tax details of your company.
Please do not send us sensitive personal information (for example health, financial account passwords or government ID numbers) through the enquiry form. We do not need it to respond.
Information collected automatically
- Server logs: our hosting provider records technical data when any page is requested, such as IP address, browser type, the page requested, the referring page and the date and time. This is standard for web hosting and is used for security and operation of the site.
- Form metadata: when you submit the enquiry form, we record the page you submitted it from and the time taken to complete it. This helps us filter automated spam.
- Third-party resources: when pages load, your browser connects to the services listed in section 6 (for example Google Fonts), which receive your IP address as part of that connection.
We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.
3. How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiry, prepare quotations and discuss your requirements.
- To identify suitable suppliers and coordinate samples, which may involve sharing your product requirements (not your personal contact details, unless needed) with manufacturers.
- To perform and administer contracts: order confirmation, production follow-up, export documentation, shipment, invoicing and payment.
- To keep business records and meet our legal, tax and regulatory obligations.
- To keep the website and our communications secure and to prevent spam and misuse.
- To send you occasional business updates, only where you have agreed or where you are an existing business contact and the law permits it. You can opt out at any time.
4. Legal grounds for using your information
Depending on the law that applies to you, we rely on one or more of the following:
- Consent: you tick the consent box when submitting the enquiry form. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us; this does not affect processing already carried out.
- Steps before or for a contract: processing needed to respond to a quotation request or to perform an order.
- Legal obligation: keeping records required by tax, customs and accounting laws.
- Legitimate interests (where recognised by the applicable law): operating a secure website and managing business relationships, balanced against your rights.
5. Who we share information with
We do not sell personal information. We share it only where needed for the purposes above:
- Service providers: Hostinger (website hosting), Web3Forms (delivers enquiry form submissions to our inbox), Zoho (business email and enquiry handling), and WhatsApp or LinkedIn where you choose to contact us through them.
- Suppliers and manufacturers: product requirements and, where necessary for an order, consignee and delivery details.
- Logistics and trade parties: freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, inspection agencies, insurers and banks, to the extent needed to ship and get paid for an order.
- Authorities and advisers: where required by law, or to establish or defend legal claims, and our professional advisers under confidentiality.
6. International transfers
We are based in India and work with buyers in many countries. Some of our service providers process data on servers outside India. Your information may therefore be transferred to and stored in countries other than your own, including India. Where the law that applies to you requires safeguards for such transfers, we take reasonable steps to put them in place, such as relying on our providers’ contractual commitments.
7. How long we keep information
- Enquiries that do not lead to business: kept for up to 24 months from our last contact, then deleted or anonymised, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
- Customer and transaction records: kept for as long as required by applicable tax, customs and accounting laws, and for any period during which a legal claim could be made.
- Server logs: kept by our hosting provider according to its own retention practices.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to the website, access limited to people who need it, and reputable service providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a personal data breach that affects you, we will notify you and the relevant authorities where the law requires it.
9. Your rights
Subject to the law that applies to you, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you and receive a summary of how it is used;
- correct, complete or update it;
- ask us to delete it, where we no longer need it or are not legally required to keep it;
- withdraw consent, or object to or restrict certain processing;
- receive your information in a portable format, where applicable;
- nominate another person to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity, where Indian law provides for this;
- complain to a data protection authority, such as the Data Protection Board of India, or the authority in your country (for example in the EU or UK).
To make a request, email info@sevedika.com with the subject "Privacy request". We may need to verify your identity before acting. We aim to respond within 30 days, or sooner where the law requires.
10. Links to other websites
Our website links to third-party sites and services such as WhatsApp, LinkedIn and YouTube. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to read.
11. Children
Our website and services are intended for businesses and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
12. Changes to this policy
