  • Account & contact: name, email, phone number, and hashed password if you register.

  • Payments: payment confirmation from licensed gateways (such as PayHere and Koko). We do not store full card numbers.
  • Technical logs: IP address, browser details, and security logs used for fraud prevention and session integrity.

We process personal data to:

  • Fulfil gemstone and jewellery orders, including certificates and insured dispatch.

  • Send order, dispatch, and delivery updates by email or SMS where configured.
  • Manage accounts, returns, bespoke inquiries, and customer support.

We do not sell or rent your personal information for third-party marketing.

Who we share with

We only share what is needed with trusted processors: payment providers, courier and insurance partners, hosting and database providers, and email/SMS gateways. They must keep your information confidential and handle it under PDPA expectations.

05

Cookies & sessions

We use essential cookies and local storage so your cart, login session, and checkout stay secure. Blocking these may stop account or checkout features from working correctly.

How long we keep data

We keep order and account records for as long as needed for fulfilment, warranties, accounting, tax, and dispute resolution. When records are no longer required, we delete or anonymise them.

07

Security

We use TLS encryption in transit and practical administrative and technical safeguards. Please keep your account password private and tell us if you suspect unauthorised access.

08

Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion (where the law allows), withdrawal of consent, or raise an objection to certain processing. Contact us at info@ceyloanlustre.com. We verify requests and respond within the timeframes set by Sri Lanka's Data Protection Authority.
