DATA HANDLING STANDARDS

Six Ways We Protect and Manage Your Data

Our data practices are built around keeping your account information accurate, secure, and within your control.

Cookie Policy

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and analytics cookies to understand how pages are used. You can adjust cookie preferences in your browser settings at any time without affecting your account access.

Account Security Practices

Passwords are stored using one-way hashing. Sensitive fields like your UPI handle and Paytm number are encrypted at rest. Two-factor authentication via SMS is available to add an extra layer of protection to your login.

Data Retention Periods

Active account data is held for the life of your account. After account closure, transaction records are retained for the period required under Indian financial regulations, after which they are securely deleted or anonymised.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We share your data only with payment processors (UPI, Paytm, PhonePe networks) and identity verification services strictly necessary to run your account. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data to marketing companies.

Your Right to Access and Correct

You may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you at any time. If any detail is incorrect — name, mobile number, linked payment method — submit a correction request and we will update it within 5 working days.

Right to Erasure

You can ask us to delete your account and associated personal data. We will action erasure requests promptly, subject only to retention obligations imposed by Indian law or active dispute resolution requirements.

Your UPI handle or Paytm number is shared only with the payment processor required to complete your transaction. It is never passed to advertising networks, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

Transaction and identity records are retained for the period mandated by applicable Indian financial regulations. After that obligation lapses, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you.
