To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, you may contact us at any time for further details.
We will never sell, share, or otherwise give out your information to others in any ways different from those disclosed in this policy. By visiting qash.co.in, you are accepting the practices as described below.
The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the qash.co.in website. On some pages, you can order products, make requests, and opt-in to receive emails. You may decide not to provide certain information, but that may prevent you from using key features of our online shopping experience.
To process an order, we require you to provide billing information (credit card), shipping, and any other necessary contact information (email address/phone number). This information is secure and will never be made publicly available to other parties and will only be used by our staff to process orders. Your credit card information will only be shared with our bank for payment authorization, and we do not save this information in our database.
The Information We Collect The Way We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties.
We use and store email addresses to answer any emails we receive from you, or to contact you (by email or by phone) if any order-related issues arise. Your email address is also used to provide you with order and shipping confirmations so you can more clearly track the progress of your order as it makes its way through our system.
Contact information is not used for any other purpose and is not shared with outside parties. You can opt to register on our website if you would like to receive frequent email updates on our new products, services, and promotions. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you “opt-in” on our website. You may also unsubscribe from these emails at any time.

Credit card transactions are processed through our secure internal credit card processor.
In an effort to combat credit card fraud and to prevent the purchase of our products by minors, Qash.co.in reserves the right to request additional verification before an order is processed and shipped (see Credit Card Review below) for requirement details.

Qash.co.in may disclose any personal information when required by law or in a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities (including but not limited to: credit card fraud, purchases of our products by minors, and use of our products with controlled substances) and conform to the edicts of state and federal law or comply with legal process served on Qash.co.in.

We operate within the legal age requirements for tobacco purchase of each individual state, city, and county. Any other use of such products, by minors or for use with controlled substances, is punishable by law.
- Credit card fraud is a felony and we will aggressively prosecute anyone attempting to misuse a credit card number. We track every transaction and will use all means available to prosecute persons attempting to commit fraud.
- Protect and defend the rights or property of Qash.co.in and related properties, or visitors to the Qash.co.in sites and related properties.

Legal Notice Age Verification and Credit Card Fraud Review
Age Verification
We do not sell products to persons under the legal age for tobacco purchases within their respective state. To verify your age, we use a non-affiliated third-party company, Veratad Technologies, LLC, to confirm that the information you provided upon checkout is accurate and that you meet the legal age requirement to order from our website.
How does Veratad work?
Veratad Age Verification services employ multiple trusted data sources that contain billions of public records that assist in providing age validation based on the personal information you have submitted to us. We only use this service to attempt to verify your age and identity while keeping your information completely safe from distribution. Veratad uses secure 256bit encryption technology to ensure safe delivery of the information you provide online. Veratad does not save or store sensitive personal information, nor will it be shared or sold to third parties.
What if Veratad cannot confirm my age?
Some shoppers may not be able to have their age confirmed based on a Veratad search alone. Your public record data may be limited or simply too outdated for Veratad to confirm that your personal information is accurate. If this happens, we will reach out to you via email and phone in order to manually verify your age. We typically require you to provide a photo of yourself holding a valid state-issued ID card to confirm both your identity and age. Once age verification is completed, we will manually override the negative age score within our system so you will not be subjected to the same process on future orders. None of the information you provide via email will be saved in our database or shared with outside parties, and any age verification emails containing your sensitive information can be deleted permanently upon your request.
Credit Card Review
At Qash.co.in, we take the threat of credit card fraud very seriously. We use an internal fraud score algorithm that evaluates every order based on the billing information you provided on our website, the shipping information provided, the credit card information entered, and order size (in dollars). Any orders that receive a high fraud score will be subjected to credit card fraud evaluation. In addition to our algorithm, we have a team of professionals who review and process orders, and they have the license to initiate fraud review based on their own autonomous evaluations.
What is required of the credit card review?
Much like the age verification process, credit card review can be permanently completed in one email. We typically require you to send a photo of the cardholder, holding his/her credit card and state-issued ID card or passport so we can confirm the credit card number and identity of the cardholder all at once. We only require the last 4 digits of the credit card to be visible in the picture, as well as the name on the card and ID card or passport to confirm.
