The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually

improve your shopping experience at Courtyards.in. We use your information

to assist sellers in handling your orders, delivering products and processing

payments, communicating with you about orders, products and promotional

offers with respect to our website, updating our records and generally

maintaining your accounts with us, display content such as wish lists and

customer reviews and recommend products that might be of interest to you. We

also use this information to improve our website, prevent or detect fraud or

abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical

or other functions on our behalf.

Here are the types of information we gather:

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our

website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain

information but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our

features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as

responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving

our website, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information

whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use

“cookies” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser

behalf of Courtyards.in on other web sites. We may also receive/store

information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique

identifier for your device. We may use this information for internal analysis and

to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results,

and other personalized content.

E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting,

we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Courtyard if your

computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists

received from other companies in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail

from us, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.

Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from

other sources and add it to our account information.

By using or continuing to use the website you agree to our use of your
