Privacy policy

Last updated: September 2026

Introduction

At The Organic Core, we respect your privacy and are committed to handling your personal information honestly and responsibly. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or place an order, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over it. We have written it in plain language because we believe you deserve a clear explanation, not a wall of legal text that nobody reads.

By using our website or placing an order with us, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.

Who We Are

The Organic Core is a small-batch natural food and personal care brand based in D-17, Islamabad, Pakistan. We sell online through our Shopify-powered store and deliver across Pakistan. Our product range includes Tough Roots hair care, Chilli Oil, Granolyx granola, and Blue Sparrow organic soaps, all prepared in small batches from our kitchen in Islamabad.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your personal information, contact us at theorganiccore@gmail.com or WhatsApp 03275054092.
